Over the next couple of weeks, I’m going have to make some really difficult and life altering decisions.

After lengthy and expensive testing of my sweet old boy, we found out that not only does he have Cushing’s disease, but it is likely that he has a parathyroid tumor, if not multiple, as well as a pituitary tumor.

They say, after a couple ridiculously expensive surgeries, and about $600 a month for maintenance medication that it could prolong his life for a year or two… but the quality of life would never be there.

He tore the equivalent of both ACLs in his back legs several years ago, so he already struggles so much.

I freaking hate these decisions, and I hate the inevitability of the outcome, no matter our choice.

If ever there was a dog that deserved going to extremes for… he would be the one, but faced with reality, I could never force him into a subpar life just to appease my own heart.

Please keep Blaze dog (and all of us) in your heart and prayers. 

On one had I want to do what’s right for him, and on the other, I question if I’m doing enough for him… what is the right choice…. this is so so very tou

✨🎸 Unforgettable Nights, Country Vibes 🎸✨

Throwing it back to the first show I ever photographed in 2013 or 2014, and boy, what a wild ride it's been since then! From the soulful Backyard Band to the mesmerizing mariachis, I've had the privilege to capture the rise of both rising stars and legendary icons like Lita Ford, Billy Bob Thornton and Dokken. 🌟

But let me tell you, the thrill never fades. Last night was an absolute blast as I got to shoot the incredible Moonshine Crazy, a band that has become like family over the years. Hanging out with the talented Canaan Smith and Tyler Rich was a dream come true, and capturing the electrifying energy of Chris Lane on stage was pure magic. 🔥

There's just something so special about being part of these artists' journeys, witnessing their growth, and getting to know them on a deeper level. It's a privilege to capture those moments of pure passion and share them with all of you. 📸

From unmatched newcomers like Red Voodoo making their mark to the timeless classics that continue to captivate, the music scene is alive and thriving. 🎶 So here's to the edgy, the fun, and the unapologetically wild nights that make this adventure truly unforgettable! 🤘✨

Starting out on your photography journey can be an exciting adventure!
But if you want to turn your passion into a business, don’t take on every client and every job just to build a portfolio or to make a few bucks.

Your love shouldn’t feel like work.
Sell out = burn out
