Had a great time doing a photo shoot with @ltevebaugh for @groundingroots juice. As it turns out, the juice is pretty delicious. While the shoot was for a business, the time spent was completely personal. I’m grateful to have awesome friends like Luke to my experience with.

How could someone who seemed to have what most of us want, feel alone enough to end his own life. The story of Joseph Grimaldi comes to mind when discussing this. It’s a […]
