One of the best things about being in the field is hanging with cool folks who love shooting! Shouts to one of our super gifted students 📸 @the_jun.e_guy who did some cool work with a random reflective source on one of our early mornings. #putneystudenttravel #photography #adventure #workshop (at Yellowstone National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRmnMUPsa3R/?utm_medium=tumblr

It was early this morning I spotted a black figure dip over a hill and I asked @drewtrush what was that…soon to see a pack of wolves chasing a herd of bison! For someone who loves nature and wildlife this made the 4AM wake-up well worth it! Having the privilege of seeing the majesty of nature unfold right before my very eyes was humbling and a blessing. #photography #nature #wildlife #graywolf #lamarvalley #yellowstone (at Lamar Valley) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRmj68-Mw7X/?utm_medium=tumblr

January 11, 2020 was a dream come true for a couple I love dearly!! Never in my wildest imagination did I see me capturing wedding photos for @deebebreezy & @kiddjupiter but it easily became one of the best moments of such a wild and wacky year! To be blessed enough to find love is a discovery that defies description. May these two continue to grow, learn, love & walk in the abundance that G*d envisioned when crafting these two awesome lights destined to be the beautiful couple they are! Big shouts to everyone who was a part of making this special day even more magical. Love you D & Carl. #TaylorMade #wedding #weddingphotography #griffithobservatory #love #family #familyaffair (at Griffith Observatory) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKE-rzIFPUM/?igshid=zjgddw5m1umx

Salute to author of one of my most favorite songs all time!! Mr. Withers your contribution to humanity and artistry will live on evermore! Prayers and condolences to those who called you family and loved one! “Can We Pretend” “Can We Pretend Can we pretend That from now on There is no yesterday Paint a portrait of tomorrow With no colors from today There's a light that shine in your face sometimes That takes my feeling wraps them around your need But there's shadow hiding in your heart sometimes That makes my feelings turn back in on me Can we pretend The pain is gone And go our merry way Paint a portrait of tomorrow With the colors bright and gay There's a light that shine in your face sometimes That takes my feeling wraps them around your need But there's shadow hiding in your heart sometimes That makes my feelings turn back in on me” #billwithers #canwepretend #music #justments (at Planet Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-igb9XFw0m/?igshid=169ujg5k5raa9

Some may see this image and think it’s just a beautiful family photo...but I see this image as pure providence! Known this beautiful couple so long I even forgot we was running around as kids barely bigger than the angel in the middle. But to that angel in the middle ohhh buddy I can’t wait to tell baby Liv about the time me, her daddy & mama and a band of other KC All-Stars celebrated the @chiefs win Super Bowl LIV!!!! #howboutthosechiefs #SuperBowlLIV #LivsTeamWonLIV #chiefskingdom #thewhitmores #providence (at Chief's Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8euG8cluDB/?igshid=1bvufscnsmrvw

Y’all should’ve never gave Chiefs Kingdom 💰!!! For all the hatred me and my fellow Chiefs fans have endured over the years and especially this season folks swearing we couldn’t get the job done or stop the run what better way to end the season then to have to beat two of the nicest most challenging run offenses in the league. What a beautiful bookend! The joy on my face is merely a glimpse of the hell i’m bout to unleash on anybody and everybody who had something to say...finna be insufferable for the next 6 months and beyond the foreseeable future! #howboutthemchiefs #chiefskingdom #joy #onyallhead #insufferable (at Chief's Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8HQFeQlIda/?igshid=7hm3scy9hywe

One of the genuinely kindest and most awesome folks I’ve had the privilege of working with is @anderson._paak!!! Well before the world knew this vibrant light I was blessed to chronicle his journey through his first time as a featured artist at the BET Awards weekend. Grateful for the magic we made and even more excited for all of his well deserved accolades and accomplishments since! Definitely cut from a different cloth and the artistry & music display that instantly! Keep on shining brotha! One of the real ones who put on for his whole team!
