Some jobs pay the bills. Some jobs give you stories. These guys have given me both.

They’re my digi tech, assistants, gaffers, problem-solvers, therapists, comedians, and friends.

Javi is now a dad to the cutest little human and somehow still shows up with endless patience and a great attitude.

Jose is the chillest person I know and hands down the best assistant I’ve ever worked with.

Pietro is an incredible photographer, an amazing dad, and, as a bonus, Italian.🤌

Bruno and I met in the checkout line at Trader Joe’s in South Beach. He made me laugh, handed me a fistful of lollipops, and somehow that turned into a real friendship.

Photography can look like a one-person job from the outside, but the truth is that none of us do this alone. The people behind the camera are only as good as the people standing beside them.

Grateful for these humans, their talent, their kindness, and all the laughs between setups.
