This remains one of my favorite accessory videos that I conceived & created during my time at Xbox…. A little 90’s pop video-inspired masterpiece — complete with smoke, wind, mirrors & ring light reflections! (Literal smoke an mirrors 🤷🏼‍♂️😂)

Loved working with the talented team over there! Extra props to @teodora.totoiu for the beautiful camerawork & @frankapm for the styleeee edit. Miss you all!

Pride Month may be over, but the rainbow isn’t going anywhere. 🌈

Lately I’ve been reminded that friendship is one of life’s great plot twists.

The last year hasn’t unfolded the way I expected, but it’s given me a whole new appreciation for the people who chose to show up and for the new friendships that have grown since I finally started reaching out again.

The ones who invite you along, say yes when you ask, and always know when getting out of the house is exactly what you need. The ones who check in, crack you up until you forget all the bs for a while, and remind you that you belong EXACTLY as you are.

These photos are highlights, not the whole story. But they’re a reflection of something I’m incredibly grateful for: people who remind me that even the hardest chapters can still be filled with joy, laughter, and amazing memories.

To everyone who was part of these moments —and to so many others — thank you. ❤️ taken in West Hollywood, California by @shootjimmy

Jan ➡️ March: a very strange chapter.

Turns out healing looks a lot like a determined moth repeatedly choosing the light anyway. 💡

Grateful for Rae, my friends, and my family for grounding me through all the static. taken in Los Angeles, California by @shootjimmy

Finally posting because apparently I survived 2025.

Earlier this fall in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula:
Lake Superior, my parents, kayaks, biking on Brockway Mountain, fall colors, four nights of auroras, and a black bear family doing nightly visits.

This place has been part of my life since I was born — and this year reminded me why I always come back. taken in Eagle Harbor, Michigan by @shootjimmy

A very late end of Summer dump… ☀️

Wasn’t my best, but it had its moments. Proof that sun, sand, and Rae can fix almost anything (almost). 💙 taken in Los Angeles, California by @shootjimmy

2025 has been a year. But through it all, I’m incredibly grateful for the people and moments that shined light into the darkness.
Here’s to growth, resilience, and holding onto the bright spots.
If you’ve been feeling it too… you’re not alone.

👋🏼 Hey. Hi. Hello.

Thank you to the random gigs, the last-minute shoots, the people who checked in just because, and especially the friends who have never let it get too dark. ☀️🌈
