I love places that make you realize how tiny you and your problems are. Missing this desert view this week. #joshuatree #dailyword #kodakportra #filmcommunity #filmisnotdead #pioneertown #wherescarla š¤

#30for30 continues to feed to my soul. Gordon was one of the first creatives I decided to photograph. Any artist can experience a creative rut and feel the need to search for inspiration. Gordon is the all around music and film expert and tends to be my go-to when searching for new inspiration. His opinion matters in my bookšš¼. I like to think that he is the keeper of secrets with anything related to the arts and has a unique talent for storytelling. The man is a fantastic writer and filmmaker--not to mention he has a damn fine record collection. Keeping doing you, G. Thanks for letting me snap pics of ya! Oh, he also designed that sweatshirt! I want one. #hasselblad #portraitobsessed #kodakportra #filmcommunity #filmisnotdead #filmphotography #silverlake

Iāve been thinking about what is going to happen once the #30for30 series comes to a close. This excerise feeds my soul and even though I havenāt been loyal at posting every day. Family stuff...photo shoots. Itās been hectic and ya know...life. But I pour a good amount of thought and care everyday into it and thinking WHATāS NEXT? Favorite couples? Favorite photographers? Silverlake locals? Itās on my mind and I want to know your thoughts! What would you love to see? Take your time, I have a few more creatives to share with you. This next one just might be my favorite... ā ā ā ā Oh brother...ā ā ā ā The biggest gift Mom and Dad gave me was this guy. When we were kids, he would take me for a bike ride. I would sit on the handlebars and we would find ourselves in a big open field full of wild flowers. He would pick them and make me a flower crown. WHAT? Who does that? The amount of care and love that my brother pours into each and everyone he meets is unlike anything Iāve experienced before. He set the bar high on what to expect from your fellow neighbor. He taught me about humility, forgiveness, patience, family values and cherishing memories. He is unique. A romantic. My sweet brother, weāve cried togetherā laughed more and I can honestly sayā I donāt know what I would do without you. Thank you for seeing me and accepting me. OH, did I mention he has fantastic taste and probably the most talented pianist EVER?! Thereās that. Heās an artist at his core. Love you Barrett. #stayinspiried #richardsphotolab #filmcommunity #filmisnotdead #kodakportra #kodakfilm #hasselblad500cm #canadianroots #portrait_vision #margotlanden

Getting through the #30for30 list and canāt believe Iām more than halfway through! I fell little behind because of strep throat (watch out, itās out there) I just wrapped 3 shoots and canāt wait to share more from all the faces of my special people. But first, please help. Iām looking for new locations and LA is a pretty endless! My current favorite would have to be the arts district. Any tips on special LA locations and beyond!!? Leave a comment below. I have more to shoot! Hereās an in-between moment from my shoot with @alywhitman š #lovela #richardsphotolab #filmisnotdead

I discovered the meaning of creativity when I met Paula. It was 1997 and my world went from mellow tones to technicolor. Paula has been my best-friend (sister actually) through thick and thin. We've laughed and cried through middle school all the way through college and today. Distance has nothing on us! Within seconds of hearing her voice on the phone, I get an immediate sense of home and I've been told many times that I shine bright when I'm around her. We laugh the same--like little kids and my creativity boost goes through the roof when I'm around her. This woman inspires me more than words can express. She is my lifeline! I love you girl @paulamarie Oh, and if you are wondering-- What kind of artist is she...? She is the one that could do it all. The only thing I haven't seen her do is...hmmm...build a house? She built an elevated tent once...that counts right?! But P, I wouldn't mind seeing you build a house. Go for it. #love #30for30 #bff

It's remarkable to witness the impact my Mom's life had on others. Here is a sculpture made by our good friend @jbourke7 inspired by a photograph I took of my Mom and brother outside our home in New Orleans. Missing you everyday, Momma. Hope everyone has a blessed weekend. Be with the ones you love! š . . . . #kodakporta #portraitseason #lovelovelove #hasselblad500 #instagood #portraitsessions #filmisnotdead #artistsoninstagram #artistofinstagram #filmisalive #portrait #instagood #analoguevibes #photographersinfocus #camera #shootfilm #grainisgood #nolalove #istillshootfilm #thefilmcommunity #love #analogfeatures #mmfilmphotography #filmphotographic #life #noctilux #analogfilm #sculptureart

The photo industry is constantly changing and it can be a challenge to try and stay relevant. I received some advice many years backāalways stay hungry and keep learning. Oh, and surround yourself with people who make you better! So next up on #30for30āthe lovely and very talented, @alywhitman . Weāve worked together on numerous ad campaigns and I simply can not live without her! Not only is she an incredible visual artist, but she is a digital tech genius and one of the most honorable people I know. She is also super patient with all of my questions and endless curiosity with anything related to cameras and computers. I love me some nerdy talk. š¤ Thank you lady! You are the best. Also, I could take your portrait everyday! #richardsphotolabā£ #makeportraits #analogfilm #kodakportra
