Our lives are a string of choices woven together, permeating time. Have you ever stopped and thought about how different your life would be if you had made a different choice at a particular moment? There are some choices we make throughout our lives that we know are significant.

8 Photography Books To get You Inspired
By Jada Parrish | Article | 02/16/24
Finding inspiration as an artist can be tricky. Everything we see has some influence on our work, whether conscious or unconscious, so where you go to seek out inspiration really matters. Photography is my favorite art form, but I avoid following many photographers on Instagram because I don’t want their work to influence mine.

Life Is About Contrast
By Jada Parrish | Article | 01/30/24
I deeply believe that we are all connected – in our love, in our joy, but also in our pain. It’s a thread that binds us together in this enigmatic journey we call the human experience, filled with contrasts. None of us make it through life without experiencing moments of awe-inspiring beauty and profound lows, where it feels like we're being swallowed by darkness and pain. It’s a...

David and I are big fans of competition TV shows, especially those centered around creativity. There's something truly inspiring about witnessing people stretch their creative limits as they race against the clock, turning their imaginations into reality. A few months ago, while watching the second season of the Netflix show "Next In Fashion" from our couch, one designer immediately grabbed our a...
The Blue Spike
By Jada Parrish | Conceptual Photography | 12/11/23
We collaborated with a colorful dance wear company - We Love Colors - to create a series of conceptual images. We were on a tight timeline with only 8 hours to build the set and execute the shoot. Our model, Isabella VanKersteren, is one of the most flexible humans I have ever met. She bent her body in all sorts of ways to help us create this monochromatic series of images. Watch the vid...
