Sidney Baker-Green DP | Colorist | Fine-Art Wedding & Portrait Photographer I became a wedding photographer when I was a sophomore in high school. It was more of a game to them.

I guess you could call me that millennial that still believes in love. Growing up, a lot of my peers didn't take love seriously. A lot of people got hurt. So, I decided to use my camera to show the world love still exists. To document the start of your legacy: solo or duo, and share it with the world. In addition, to remind people that if you keep your heart open, love will always find its way in, and that if you keep climbing, then you can overcome anything.

Stills from life recently. It’s interesting...

We grow up hearing stories about the fight.
The hustle.
The grind.
The “one day I’ll make it” arc.

But no one ever writes the chapter about what happens after you do.

I’m 29.
And in the last few years, I’ve done everything I set my mind to.

Every goal I obsessed over.
Every standard I raised.
Every quiet promise I made to myself.

Crushed it.

And now I’m sitting here with a question no one prepares you for:

What next?

No one talks about how paralyzing choice can be when you realize you’re actually capable.

Public failure doesn’t scare me anymore.
What scares me is knowing that if I decide on something, there’s a very real chance I’ll make it happen.

The hardest question lately hasn’t been “Can I?”
It’s been “What do I want?”

There was a time when my fuel was proving people wrong.
When life knocked me down and I said, absolutely not.
I’ll show you who I am.

That fire built a lot.
It carried me far.

But nobody tells you how to find a new fire once the survival one burns out.

And maybe that’s the point.

Maybe the next chapter isn’t fueled by pressure or proving.
Maybe it’s fueled by permission.

Permission to live boldly.
To live in a way that shows it’s possible.

Possible to grow without self-punishment.
Possible to build a life that doesn’t require you to bleed for it.

You don’t have to suffer to reach your goals.
You don’t have to let people beat you down to become something.

There’s power in deciding,

And maybe that’s why I’ve been so quiet. Sporadic.
Distant from this platform. Because until recently, I didn’t know what was next.

And I refuse to perform uncertainty just to stay visible.

But I’ve figured it out.

I know what the next goal is.

I’m comfortable not knowing exactly what it will look like.
I’m comfortable building it in real time.

And I’m really, genuinely happy you’re here to see it.

Keep Climbing.

As 2025 comes to a conclusion, I’ve been thinking about another pattern I see come up again and again in conversations with people who want to grow.

Most people don’t stay stuck because they’re incapable. They stay stuck because they’re not willing to be bad at something where other people can see it.

Being bad isn’t failure. It’s data. Every attempt shows you what to adjust, what to improve, and where to aim next. That’s how progress actually happens.

If you’re already telling yourself you’re not good at something, staying hidden won’t change that. Trying will. Even when it’s uncomfortable. Even when it’s cringey.

Growth only happens if you’re willing to learn out loud.

As 2025 comes to a conclusion, I’ve been reflecting on a lot of the conversations I’ve had this year with people trying to figure out their next step.

One pattern keeps showing up. People aren’t stuck because they lack talent or discipline. They’re stuck because they keep asking if the move they want to make is “smart,” instead of asking whether they trust themselves enough to figure it out.

Most growth doesn’t come from certainty. It comes from trust. From believing that even if it doesn’t go perfectly, you’ll adapt, learn, and keep moving.

If there’s something you’ve been thinking about starting, maybe the question isn’t whether it’s the smartest move. Maybe the question is whether you trust yourself enough to take the first step.
