lots to be thankful for this year

It’s crazy to believe, but we’re about a week out from Thanksgiving, so I wanted to take a moment to share my thanks publicly for the community of clients, friends, and supporters that have rallied around me this year (so far). This is by no means an exhaustive list, but a list of folks that off the top of my head, I’d like to publicly thank and recognize. So much of being successful in this industry and as a creative, comes down to networking, building relationships, and turning loose happy clients to tell others about why they should work with you and to evangelize on your behalf. You’re all superstars for helping me achieve those goals.

I know I’ve forgotten someone and probably many “someones,” but seriously, thank you all so much. As I’ve often shared in private conversations, the way I can continue getting better at my craft is to keep shooting, shoot again, and then shoot more on top of that. You all have trusted me at some point this year and have been fun subjects to work with time and time again.

Obviously, the year isn’t over quite yet, and there’s plenty more still to get done on the calendar, but I think it’s always important to pause and reflect about the year you’ve had. If for no other reason, it’s a great opportunity to reenergize and focus to finish the year strong.

2023 will be a new opportunity to push myself further out of my comfort zone and down new, exciting creative outlets. I won’t be able to do that without your continued support.
