🎶 Live music. Good vibes. Great crowd.

The energy was undeniable when Brother Brownlow Band took the stage — and this shot says it all.

Blink and you’d miss it—ten fleeting seconds where the waterfall kissed the sun and painted a rainbow just for us. 🌈✨ #CandidlyBrewed #Wanderlust #NatureMagic #travelphotography #traveladdict #rainbows #waterfall #waterfallphotography #cruise #nofilter #noediting #nikonz8

A tall, powerful waterfall cascades down a steep rocky cliff surrounded by lush green trees. At its base, sunlight catches the mist, creating a vivid rainbow that arcs across the spray.

Windsor really knows how to bring the medieval moodiness. Just missing a dragon and a morally grey rider.

Y’all can keep scrolling. I’ll be over here staring at this man like he’s the main attraction at the castle. 🏰🔥

A bald man with tattoos wearing sunglasses, a dark Adidas t-shirt, and jeans stands confidently on a quiet street in front of a historic stone castle. He looks upward with a relaxed expression, hands in his pockets, wearing a lanyard and carrying a backpack. The setting is bright and sunlit, with detailed architecture and castle windows behind him.

Caught this swan in full self-reflection mode. Same, babe. #SelfLoveSunday

#travelphotography #swan #windsor #candidlybrewed #photography #nikonz8 #riverthames #england

A white swan gracefully bends its neck to touch the water, creating a near-perfect reflection on the calm blue surface. Gentle ripples surround its beak as it drinks or peers below, with soft light highlighting its feathers.

Caught in his lens, right where I love to be. A snapshot of us in our favorite place — somewhere out there, together. ✌️🌄

A close-up of a man wearing sunglasses outdoors during travel. In the reflection of one lens, his partner is visible holding up a peace sign while taking the photo. The background hints at a scenic outdoor setting, capturing a playful and intimate travel moment.

Snow still on the peaks. Sun warm on my skin. Norway, a quiet place between seasons. ❄️☀️

My daughter launched her own #LittleFreeLibrary - built it, painted it, filled it with #bannedbooks and bold stories, and kicked it off in solidarity with the #HandsOff movement.

Follow her on Insta: @gracesbannedreads

Next gen doing the work. I’m just over here cheering her on.

International Women's Day St. Pete - Unite & Resist protest that I had the honor of capturing. 📸✊

From powerful signs to even stronger voices, the day was a testament to resilience, solidarity, and the ongoing fight for justice.

Montserrat, Spain – Saint Michael's Cross stands alone against the sky, a quiet landmark in a place shaped by time & history. Seen from a distance, it feels both small & significant—much like everything else from this height.

📍 Have you been?

Some shots need espresso. Others need the right light. ☕📸 Took my sister out for a #headshot session, and between the laughter, wind-blown hair, and my usual ‘just one more angle’ routine, we got some magic. #Naturallight, #nofilter.
