ABOUT THIS BLOG

What will I get out of this?

Do it for the Gram! @michaelder_photography

I grew up with the sentiment that death was an offensive topic you don’t bring up. The Mexican holiday of Dia De Los Muertos opened my eyes to a different attitude when I first learned about it years ago. To honor life and death in such an artistic and celebratory way is inspiring and touching. Thank you to my wonderful team for collaborating with me on this.

♥️ Everything about Dia De Muertos is beautiful to me, from the traditions, to the art, to the celebration, to the people. Thank you to a brilliant creative team who worked so diligently in a short period of time to bring this to life. You are talented and wonderful 🙏.

A colleague recently inspired me to share more and get over my own imposter syndrome. Thank you for the motivation @lyonsphotos. Happy weekend y’all.

Finally getting some reps in at the studio.

🤔😀🤩 First portfolio book! Really digging tangible promo material right now. There’s something about seeing your work printed on cards or books that seems just a little different than on screen. I’m really interested in producing yearly books to send out to prospective leads and current clients. What do you all think? What has your experience been like marketing to clients this way? Any advice on what has worked and what hasn’t? DM me with your 💭!

Let this not be the only source of activism that we pridefully hang our hat on. I must do more. I will do more. #blackouttuesday

Adding #acousticfoam to the office. It’s more decorative than functional, but a little sound boost always helps. #boredinquarantine #podcastlife

Feeling bluesy. ⠀

I posted just 3 pieces of original work on the gram in 2019. That’s crazy low. I can bump that to 4 in 2020. Maybe... 🤔⠀
