My Failed Vlog Attempt:

In early 2026, I was really bored and had no projects.I decided to produce a video, telling the story of aself-employed man recovering from the haze of the holidays.

The footage became to personal and I was unableto finish the project with an acceptable ending.Here is the last edit.

I spent the day at the Peacock Information Center in Minden, Iowa, photographing their stunning peafowl for their story in ia magazine. From shimmering trains over 5 feet long to peachicks darting between fence posts, every moment was pure beauty 🦚

Got to trade my usual wedding aisle at for a front-row view this time 🎸📸 Capturing the energy, lights, and raw emotion on stage is a whole different kind of vibe. Grateful for the chance to grab a few photos of Junior Graves at The Waiting Room!
