I'm starting a new brand called Holistic Approach Media to narrow my focus on elevating the holistic health industry with my gifts. Holistic living is something that means a great deal to me and my family. I'm grateful for the love and support my community has shown over the years in all my creative ventures, and I look forward to giving back in many ways.

Coral is a dear friend, and wonderful person with a bright and welcoming personality. One of the coolest things is that our families have strong ties over generations, Our Grandpa's on both our mother's sides were best friends and professional colleagues in the field of industrial design. My mom and her aunt were good friends as well. Coral and I happened to meet thru mutual friends about a decade ago, thru fate or luck or whatever you wanna call it. I'm happy to be a part of a 3rd generation of friendships between our families. Thanks for your friendship Coral, I am honored to know you and Daniel.

Senior Photos with Randall. I shot most of these with a 2 light set up, one as a key light with a big soft box and the other as a rim/hair light with an orange gel to simulate golden hour, and make him pop a bit from the background. Using off camera lighting allows me to get the look and mood I want out of every photo.

This sweet heart of a pupper made my day that much better during a photo shoot last month. Sansa kept coming up to me for pets during our shoot, and I obliged because I love animals. Thanks for the photos, I appreciate it.

VIEW FROM A CRASHING DRONE. Most will post there best photos on social media, today however I want to show one of my mistakes. While taking photos of a gender reveal party, I accidentally flew my drone into a tree branch, funny enough a photo happened to be captured while it was tumbling towards the ground. Thankfully the drone had no external damage, although we will see how it performs next time I fly it *Fingers crossed.* It's mistakes like this that I've slowly learned to appreciate, the goofs that make me aware of the flaws in my craft. They shed light on what needs improvement, and makes me think of the methods and tools needed to solve such an issue.
What are some mistakes you've made that you appreciate in retrospect?

Sia's Grad Party was one of the windiest outdoor event's I've ever worked. Very glad I brought a sand bag with me so my OCF didn't fall over.

I filmed a wedding last weekend in Ann Arbor. Here are a few screenshots from the footage that I liked. It was a real long day, but totally worth it. Was pleasantly surprised to see my friends Mark and JT of the Elysium Experience running sound at the event. Got to work alongside some awesome photographers Nathan English and his second shooter Colin, they we're real cool and easy to work with. I love when I can collaborate with the other vendors, it creates a good atmosphere where creativity and fun can flourish. Go check out and follow these guys.

Thankfully I no longer have to bring or ask for a table while doing live streaming at future events, thanks to this new rig. This puppy is built to screw on a light stand and can be right next to one of my cameras, extending to whatever high I'd like. If you want to know how I made this, let me know.
