Just Start. 🎥📸

I took the summer off, stepped back for a little while, and now I’m ready to get back to doing what I love — creating.

I’m looking forward to finishing Q3 and Q4 STRONG. I’ve got a lot of exciting gigs coming up, and I’m especially looking forward to being back for this year’s Bucks season as a camera operator. 🦌🎥

But more than anything, this is your reminder: whatever it is you’ve been thinking about doing… JUST START.

Start the business.
Start creating.
Start the project.
Start chasing the dream.
Start doing whatever makes YOU happy.

You don’t need everything figured out. You just need to take the first step.

I’m starting again. And I’m ready to see where it takes me. 🚀

Q3 ➡️ Q4. Let’s finish strong.

I spent a lot of time thinking about what I wanted to create, what I wanted to pursue, and whether the timing was right.

Then I realized something: there will never be a perfect time to start.

Whether it’s photography, videography, starting a podcast, becoming a content creator, launching a business, or simply pursuing something that makes you happy — just start.

You don’t have to have everything figured out. You don’t need everyone to understand it. You just need to take the first step.

Pick up the camera. Press record. Make the post. Start the podcast. Chase the idea.

Because one day you might look back and realize the only thing standing between you and the life you wanted was that first step.

Start now. Create something. Bet on yourself. 🚀

Back like I never left. 🎥🦌

Last night was my first night back for another NBA season with the Milwaukee Bucks — and officially the start of Season 5 for me.

From camera utility, to drone operator, to camera operator — every season has brought new opportunities, new challenges, and another chance to grow in my craft.

It’s still crazy sometimes to look around and realize this is WORK. 😂

Grateful for the journey. Grateful for the experience. And definitely not taking any of it for granted.

Year 5. Same city. Bigger goals. 🎥🏀🦌

Let’s have a season.

A milestone I’ll never forget. 🎥📸💍

Marlene & Scott Dodds trusted me to travel all the way to Arlington, Tennessee to capture one of the biggest days of their lives — and in the process, they gave me the opportunity to shoot my FIRST out-of-state wedding! 🙏🏾

That meant more to me than they probably realize.

From the moment I arrived, it was nothing but love, great energy, laughs, and unforgettable moments. I had an amazing time capturing their day, and seeing the final photos and video come together made the experience even better. 🔥

Every opportunity reminds me why I picked up a camera in the first place. What started as a passion continues to take me places I never imagined.

Thank you, Marlene & Scott, for trusting Slade Media Co. with your memories and allowing me to be part of your story. ❤️

First out-of-state wedding in the books. ✈️
Definitely won’t be the last.

Milwaukee based. Available wherever your story takes me. 🌎

Some moments are bigger than the camera. ❤️🧩
I had the honor of capturing the 8th Annual Autism Walk with Puzzle Makers, and this was more than just an event—it was a celebration of love, acceptance, family, and community.
Different backgrounds. Different stories. Different journeys. But one hope, one voice, and one community coming together. 💙
As a photographer and videographer, I’m grateful that I get to use my camera to preserve moments like these and help tell stories that deserve to be seen and remembered.
Thank you to everyone who showed up, walked, supported, loved, and made this day special. 🧩💙
Many cultures. One voice. One community.

She brought the ENERGY. I brought the CREATIVITY. 📸🔥

Had an amazing time creating with my friend Brook for her birthday shoot! From the vision to the final shots, we turned her birthday celebration into a whole experience. 🎂✨

This is what I love about photography — taking someone’s personality, energy, and vision and turning it into something they can keep forever.

Happy Birthday, Brook! 🥳💙
More life. More memories. More creative moments.

Had a great time putting together this video for the 31st Annual E.B. Garner Fishing Clinic 🎥🎣

There’s nothing better than using video to capture moments that bring families, kids, and the community together. From learning fishing basics to creating memories outdoors, this event was all about connection and fun!

Proud to have been behind the camera helping bring this experience to life. 📸🎬
