One of my biggest pet peeves is when photographers and videographers arenā€™t tagged. Videos and photos go viral and I struggle to figure out who shot it originally and it drives me crazy. Tag your photo/video people! Bonus points if listed in your caption and not just tagged!

I love shooting in creative spaces with creative people where I leave feeling energized and excited and ready for more.

Happy Valentinā€™s Day yā€™all! Donā€™t forget the most important relationship youā€™ll ever have is with yourself! šŸ˜ā¤ļø

Can we stop making it normal to make fun of and laugh at children on the internet? The amount of videos I see of kids crying or struggling while their parents film them and laugh and then post it and people laugh in the comments is infuriating.

Let your kids pick their own sports teams. I donā€™t care how much you love a teamā€¦ let them have their own fandom. Support it. Encourage it.

Trades like this when itā€™s not your team are like crack. Do it again, NBA! šŸ¤£

Genuinely if you teach your kids ONE thing as a parent, teach them to be kind and inclusive to other children. Our world, and the worlds of so many children who are teased and made fun of and left out, would be so much better for it.

Turned on ā€œboy meets worldā€ with my kids and my son gasped and said ā€œwhy is it like that?ā€ And I had to explain that when I was a kid, tvā€™s were square šŸ¤£

Forever grateful for Julius. Yā€™all BETTER give him a standing ovation at the Garden tonight. Love him or hate him thereā€™s no denying the Knicks arenā€™t where theyā€™re at without him Said this after the trade, and every word holds true #NewYorkForever

Sometimes I think point differential should matter in the NBA because how are the Celtics gonna beat the pelicans by ONE POINT and the headline is ā€œCeltics beat pelicans to improve to 28-11 this seasonā€?!?

Itā€™s a very weird feeling to be surrounded by absolute devastation and tragedy and have to just continue with everyday lifeā€¦ making lunches, taking kids to school, while also being prepared to evacuate but also trying to keep kids calm. Iā€™m exhausted. And anxious. And sad.

5 years ago I took a chance on myself with a Blazers fan site. It was out of my comfort zone, I didnā€™t think it would pan out. But it did. Iā€™m living a literal dream working full time as a sports photographer. Take chances. Do things that scare you. Go for your dreams.

For all of yā€™all who fly a lot, what do you do for miles? Do you always fly the same airline and collect that way? Looks like Iā€™m gonna be flying a whole lot more this year and Iā€™d like to be as efficient as possible with it!

You know what I donā€™t hear people talk about? Re-Listening to your fav music from times in your life that were tough. Iā€™ve been trying to desensitize myself to songs that used to take me back to times in my life that I donā€™t want to associate those songs with anymore. Itā€™s weird.

Going to brave target at 7:30pm before new years because Iā€™m heading to the east coast and itā€™s literally freezing there and I donā€™t own socks.

I stand behind the opinion that you can tell a whole lot about a man and his views on women based on if he watches the WNBA and how he talks about it.

Something inside me might be broken when it comes to how I perceive relationships. I find myself always rooting for the people who donā€™t end up together. I was very on board for Rachel and Joey, Damon and Elena, Serena and Nate, Carrie and literally anyone other than Bigā€¦.

Sending you all so much love šŸŒ²šŸ¤

My kids are locked in on ā€œdunk the hallsā€ on @espn.com My son just listened to Mickey explain an alley oop and immediately asked if thatā€™s worth more points. I think heā€™s catching on šŸ¤£

Dame is holding that trophy like he holds his babies and I love that for him šŸ„¹

Thanasis Antetokounmpo might be the happiest basketball player on the court.

Damian Lillard and Gary Trent Jr playing together again šŸ„¹šŸ«¶šŸ¼

I love watching Damian Lillard play basketball

One thing Iā€™ve learned is wear the sequins. Wear them on a random Tuesday. Wear them to the grocery store. Donā€™t wait for special occasions. Clothes are supposed to be fun! Wear the sequins.

So @round21.bsky.social absolutely killed this drop! I am obsessed with this style tee!! One of my fav brands for WNBA gear!!!

Yall want to hear my hottest basketball take? A wedgie should count as a point.

Hereā€™s my honest take on ā€œthe ultimatumā€. If youā€™re at that dramatically different of a place in your relationship and canā€™t come to a compromise on your own, you shouldnā€™t be getting married. No one on this show should be getting married.

This is my favorite podcast. Genuinely such good and easy listen if youā€™re into the NBA! Go check it out and take a minute to vote for them!

Grateful šŸ¤

We love a happy Jerami Grant

I love Kelsea Ballerini so much. Her recent albums are no skip albums. I listen to EVERY song over and over. Enough that sheā€™s at the top of my wrapped from an album that I only had for a couple months of the year. šŸ«¶šŸ¼

Fun fact for Blazers fans: Iliana Rupert, Rayanā€™s sister, plays in the WNBA and was just drafted to the very first roster of the WNBAā€™s expansion team, the Valkyries.

Fun day at work today! šŸ“øāœØ

I keep seeing posts about how ā€œyour job canā€™t be your whole lifeā€ and you should have hobbiesā€¦ but like, what if my job is just my hobbies all combined??

2 years ago today. One of my very favorite things I ever got to work on, this photoshoot with Anfernee Simons of the @trailblazers.bsky.social for @dimeuproxx.bsky.social January 2023 cover. (Might have to post the photos since they havenā€™t seen this app yet)

After getting my parents ancestry results back, itā€™s been confirmed that Iā€™m more than 50% danish (the largest part of my heritage). Itā€™s been really interesting looking into the Danish culture a little more and I really love it.

When the mirror is this cool I make the exception of no selfies in public bathroomsā€¦

Lots of fun in the NBA Today studio lately (I canā€™t post photos here as easily, so check out instagram for a lot more photo content)

Iā€™m not a big NFL follower, but I really hope Trenton Irwin lands somewhere that appreciates him.

Candace Parker in the background makes this photo of LeBron James 100x better šŸ‘€ #nbasky #wnbasky

Yā€™all go check out @round21.bsky.social !!! Fantastic WNBA apparel! You can find them on IG too but theyā€™re here nowwww!

Parenting a 12 year old girl is kind of like dating an emotionally unavailable boy who you arenā€™t really sure likes you. And cries a lot. But doesnā€™t know why. šŸ«£

Never pass up an opportunity for sequins and boots. šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø
