Amazing recap from 2025, amazing photos as always and amazing way with words in this post πŸ™ŒπŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½

I got to meet you in July when Alan Schaller was in NYC, I have to say one of the highlights of my summer and my year meeting you. Thank you for taking time to chat that day!

What a prolific year, seems like you’re always on the move!

As a new father I would love to hear your thoughts on how to balance family life and work as a freelance photographer. Its something I am currently struggling with, but seeing other photographers output so much work has got me feeling like i’m missing something.

Excited to see more of your work this year!

Thank you, and I think that's something I'm open to sharing more to subscribers this year. It's tough but truthfully, it comes down to having an amazing partner. Without her, I can't do what I'm doing now.

If you’re open to sharing that would be amazing! No pressure though, I know it’s quite a personal topic. Happy to hear your partner is so supportive! :)
