Sitting on Saturn at The Observatory, Orange County

Brands

I was beyond excited to capture Sitting on Saturn’s first time playing The Observatory in Orange County after selling out their smaller Constellation Room multiple times. Little did anyone know, this would also be the last time the group would be performing a local show under the name Sitting on Stacy before announcing their name change. I am absolutely honored to have been able to capture both a first and a last for one of my long-time favorite bands.

Living with Anxiety and Panic Disorder

My Life

One of the most challenging aspects of mental illness is that it’s often “unseen.” Unlike physical conditions that manifest visibly, mental disorders can be hidden beneath the surface. My anxiety and panic disorder don’t have outwardly visible symptoms, but they’ve taken a significant toll on my body and mind. From the outside looking in, I might appear as happy and healthy as ever, but that’s just not the truth.
