06/01 Unpack&Chill How I landed a $5k Corporate headshot flyout in New york

Just wrapped a solid session in Geneva, NY – and figured I’d share the full breakdown: the gear, the setup, how I got the gig, and why networking > everything.

🔌 The Setup

• Location: Geneva, NY (an hour from Syracuse). Not much here except a lake and one weird hotel bar that only opens for events 😅

• Client: A company called Flippa – shoutout Sunny for plugging me in.

Unpack & Chill Tonight @ 9pm

What’s good y’all boys,

I’m currently in Charlotte, flying out to New York this morning for a company headshot gig I landed for June 1st. The job’s coming with a free flight, hotel stay, food, drinks—and $5K in my pocket.

I’ll be breaking down how I got this gig by doing literally nothing… and using ChatGPT.

I should be settled in by around 9, but if not, definitely by 10. Tonight’s Zoom won’t be long since we don’t have anything...

Pre ordered Hat update

Ngl yall boys, I messed up with my dates thinking this was gonna be quick lmao. Imma just copy and paste what i had in the email.

What's good y'all, some news for you:

This is my first time ever doing a clothing release, and I’ve been learning a lot as I go. I recently reached out to the production team to get an update on the timeline — and here’s what they told me:

When I placed the full order on May 16, I didn’t r...

Happy Memorial Day!

Happy memorial day yall boys, Enjoy your fams and snap them up in their elements today! 📸 create those memories!

Don't forget to save me a plate 🍽️ Peace

Why it's important to have friends at the shoot. NETWORK is your NETWORTH.

As you guys can see from this email, Shawty tryna book A YEAR IN ADVANCE.

If you can provide that friendly experience, include the friends into the shoot by delegating (Letting them DJ, giving them the assignment of helping out with being the creative director and set assistant for hair, wardrobe fixes, etc) then 80% of the time the friends will ALWAYS book with you when its their turn.

This is why i love doing graduation shoots b...

1 on 1’s postponed until further notice.

Hey guys, last couple of mornings I’ve had to be at the hospital with my father short notice and until I’m able to get an actual set schedule I have to postpone the 1 on 1’s until he’s back into the rehab facility.

Sorry for the inconvenience y’all boys, but I gotta do what I gotta do 🙏🏾 it shouldn’t be no more than 2 weeks I’m assuming.

If you have any IMMEDIATE questions just shoot me a DM On here and I’ll get to yo...
