2025🤍

Holy shit y’all. That was quite the ride wasn’t it? I did so much this year and had so much love surrounding me every step of the way. I photographed my first ever music festival, I learned new poi skills, I took risks (a lot of them), I hit 5 music festivals total, I made new friends along the way, I loved, I lost, I succeeded and I failed. I found a sort of pulse within my existence this past year, a waxing and waning of development, a vibration that is messy and beautiful within its rhythm. I’m beyond words for how the people in my life impacted me, I feel like a quilt and each square has a little piece of each of you within it that creates the blanket of me. I love you all so so so much. Here’s to so much more in 2026, the year of the horse baby 🐎 yeehaw bitches!

Well that's it for college! I had so much fun with it along with the friends I've made and what I got to experience being in VAMA.

I appreciate the people I have met during my time in college, and with the people I was in school with it felt like a family of welcoming people and people I'm happy to call my friends and fellow photographers.

I would like to thank VAMA Paul Weinrauch, @mikelarremore, @edwinc29_photography, @smac.08 ,@cclay.visuals ,@jemstonephoto ,@theastrogoat, @kookie_baeker and the rest of the VAMA students for a great college and photography experience and as well as @bigmanep5 and @drakelangg for being models for my assignments! All there is left to say now is anyone need a photographer?

Hard at work and having a blast! 🎬📸 Students in MGD/PHO 2044 took over the Colorado Art Awards Scholastics at the Denver Art Museum, capturing every moment of this all-day event. From filming presentations to running a photo booth for winners, teamwork was key! Real-world experience, long hours, and plenty of creativity—this is what hands-on learning looks like!
