Joey GX's sound is what you get if harmonic "acoustic" lofi and electronic ambience met jazz and they all decided to make a truly beautiful baby. This was my hook song and he just released a new album under a different artist name that continues this kind of sound, so if you like this song, check the comments on this post for a link to the new album too.

"This might be my best work." That's genuinely how I feel after every shoot, especially when it involves friends.

I don't post as much as I should because the aspect involving "curating" my photography feed always leaves me feeling stumped, when really I need to just share. That being said, I had the great privilege of taking some engagement and wedding photos last weekend for two good friends of mine. I can't wait to share more.

If you have photo needs, please reach out. I really enjoy this and love to share my passion for it with others. If you're nervous about being photographed, there's a lot we can do to help you feel relaxed in front of the lens so that it's an enjoyable experience, to produce a lot of lovely images.

Found out about this jeweler in Cape Charles that has a tannery in Iceland that uses the byproducts of the fishing industry to create fish leathers. They use really interesting textures and colors from fish that are not currently in need of protection.

It's been too long since I've experimented and I'm aching for creative outlet. Thankfully, I have the perfect lens for that. Zeiss never ceases to amaze. I wish I could fit the full format of this photo. Let me know what you think!
