I’m currently driving around Iceland shooting wi I’m currently driving around Iceland shooting with the brand new @nikonusa Z8. Having an absolute blast pushing this camera as far as I can. Cold weather! ✅ wet conditions! ✅ fun and fancy new features! 🫢👀✅ 
 @benjaminbetzner is here with me filming the entire adventure!! So stay tuned for some of the MOST iconic moments also filmed on the new Nikon Z8. It really can do it all. 💅🏻
These images are from my first ever content day MODELING experience at the “Only In Ohio” event hosted by my friend @theeditorialstyle. 10/10 recommend pushing yourself to slay in front of 25 strangers. It was SO scary but.. BE SCARED AND DO IT ANYWAY! 🦋

Currently traveling the coast of Iceland while sho Currently traveling the coast of Iceland while shooting a campaign for @nikonusa! 🫢 can’t believe that just came out of my thumbs!! 😭🥹 so grateful. 
This experience has already been life changing. My first time leaving the US and I chose a frigid weather volcanic island. And I am SOOOO happy. 
Let’s all take a collective moment to comment something we are grateful for, one of our goals for the next year, and how we plan on getting closer to that goal! Let’s hold each other accountable.

My first ever content retreat.. this was January o My first ever content retreat.. this was January of 2021? I think? And I was sooo nervous. It had been 80 degrees for 2 weeks and the day of my event the weather took a turn and it started SNOWING. I wasn’t emotionally prepared but I did my best and the day actually went so well! I made lifelong friends there and learned so much. Since then I’ve hosted 5 more and created events that I am so proud of. The future holds a lot more for MBP 🦋🩵🥹 and I’m so grateful for everything coming. I love you guys. Stay tuned.

🎞️ FILM IS SO CUTE IDC THAT ITS OVER USED. I 🎞️ FILM IS SO CUTE IDC THAT ITS OVER USED. I LOVE IT.  AND ALL THE PHOTOGRAPHERS WHO WANNA SAY “you’re only doing it because it’s popular now” .. YOU RIGHT! I didn’t really care to get into film until it became popular and that’s when I noticed it.. there’s nothing wrong with liking things that are trendy or popular. I love being me even if that means it’s “following a trend”. 💅🏻😘 what do you think about following trends or doing something that’s popular? 
Models are tagged! Love you girlies so much! 
@benjaminbetzner shot all of these! He is a film icon and we started scanning our own film recently which is hard but so fun and rewarding! So get ready for more fun film slays coming your ways!
When Liza reached out for these images I gotta be When Liza reached out for these images I gotta be honest, I was a little nervous.. I had never done anything like this and was really afraid I’d mess it up and not be able to grab the high fashion editorial vibes she asked for.. but BOY WAS I WRONG. these remain in my top 5 favorite shoots ever. I connect with the simplicity, posing, and iconic energy. It embodies womanhood and strength and power. 10/10 🦋✨
