POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

This past year has been the hardest of my life. From kidney failure to ER visits and financial struggles, there were times I felt like I was breaking down, losing sight of the person I wanted to become. And in all honesty I even thought about giving up. But in that darkness, I found light by turning everything over to God. Letting Jesus into my life has been the greatest gift one that’s helped me rediscover my own worth.

I’m extremely grateful for people like @martha_kirby , my life coach, who helped me simplify things by focusing on the mental, physical, spiritual, financial, and emotional areas of my life. She guided me to take a step back and really work on the parts of myself that needed healing, to rebuild my life from the ground up. There’s still a long road ahead, but I’m starting to feel stronger, and I know God is with me every step of the way. taken in Los Angeles, California by @jay_ford

#ad Everybody sees the shoots, but a lot of my time is spent right here editing. Might as well make the setup comfortable 😂

Partnered with @okup.furniture to bring the M80-A into my workspace. Here’s a little look at the setup behind the work.

There’s something about walking around with a camera and no agenda that I’ll never get tired of.

No client, no shot list, no deliverables. Just noticing people, light, little moments and pieces of life that I probably would’ve walked right past otherwise.

Photography started as something I genuinely loved long before it became work for me. It’s nice to remind myself that it still is.

Just wrapped directing another film with @canonusa 🇯🇲🎥

Extremely blessed for the opportunity to create what has easily become one of my favorite projects. Getting to capture @naomicowan , her story, and Jamaica through our lens! Technically not allowed to show you frames yet but it’s gonna be amazing! Lol

Couldn’t have done any of this without my @christopherballadarez & @david_pino_ and our production team! Y’all brought the vision to life.

Can’t wait for you guys to see this one. ❤️🇯🇲
