I’ve been a fan of Sitting on Saturn (formerly known as Sitting on Stacy) for several years, so when I had the chance to photograph their show at Belly Up Tavern in San Diego, I couldn’t have been more stoked. The band—comprising of lead singer and guitarist Hoyt Yeatman, bassist Kyle Hart, drummer Trevor Smith, and joined by brass player Josh Horita, as always delivered a high energy performance they’ve come to be known for.

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.

When it comes to moments that define a lifetime, few can rival the beauty and emotion of a marriage proposal.

Emily and Jake’s intimate wedding on the North Shore of Oahu was such a sweet and unforgettable day. Emily started the day getting ready with her friends and family at her little island home while Jake had a boy’s weekend in a yurt on the beach.

During the summer of 2023 I spent a few weeks on the road, camping and exploring some new states and national parks. I drove from California through Utah to see Zion and Bryce Canyon national parks. I visited Wyoming for the first time and fell in love with Jackson Hole and Grand Tetons national park. I made drive through Yellowstone before heading to Montana where I spent time with family and enjoyed Bozeman, Whitefish, and Glacier national park. It was the ultimate summer vacation and I will never forget my roadtrip through Utah, Wyoming, and Montana.
