Braden Summers 📸 Folly Mojave
Looking at Braden’s new series, it’s more than the expected excitement I feel, or pride, or wonder - it’s almost dizziness. Because as much I’ve been paying attention to his career all these years, sometimes I look at his images and realize he has been reaching and exploring and finding incredible depths beyond what I’ve realized, all along.

This is Sara Mally.

I had seen Sara’s photography and was a fan, vaguely aware of her personality. But the Real Love Boat BTS made me genuinely curious who this person was behind the camera. Sara looked so happy—and somehow everyone around her did too.

Then I got lucky.

Sara sat at my table for portfolio reviews at NYCFotoWorks, and we spent twenty minutes talking, trading stories, laughing. She left me with a wooden sketchbook she hand-built, stories about images she’d carefully crafted, and something more valuable than either of those: she left me feeling joy.

Sara really sees people.
She stops and takes the time to truly see who they are, and in that pause if you give yourself the gift to know her in return, you get to have an experience with her-of shared art and laughter. I love the adventure of being her agent, and feel incredibly fortunate to represent artists like Sara. If you aren’t familiar with her work, like her, it’s worth spending time with.

TIMOTHY ARCHIBALD — Photographer, AI Artist

Timothy is one of the best humans I know, and it’s for all of the reasons that make him a remarkable artist. He’s kind, endlessly curious, always looking for the humor. He’s gentle with pain—never trying to fix it, never looking away—but meeting it with genuine compassion.

If you know Timothy’s photography, you’ll recognize those same qualities in the way he sees people.

I’m obsessed with his Substack. If you haven’t read “The Summer I Thought I Disappeared, 1984”, do yourself a favor. While others are busy debating AI art, Timothy is quietly exploring what it can reveal about memory, identity, and storytelling. Like Timothy, his art is thoughtful, funny, surprising, and completely his own.

Behind the scenes with photographer & director Jordan Pay 📸 Jordan Pay

Some productions are about making a vehicle look heroic.

This one asked a different question. How do you make a highway feel cinematic?

Working alongside the E-470 team, Jordan was given rare access to the roadway, its operations, and the people behind it. The result became less about the vehicles traveling through—and more about the place itself, the infrastructure, the landscape, and the human effort that keeps it all moving.

Sometimes the best stories are found between the final frames.

🌈 Proud to share Braden Summers’ Pride campaign for the Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism.

This series celebrates connection, belonging, and the experiences that make travel meaningful—from beaches and museums to city streets, outdoor adventures, and shared moments.

Braden’s photography and directing work has long explored identity, community, and the ways people create space for one another. Those themes felt especially resonant for this campaign, which highlights Massachusetts as a welcoming and inclusive location and destination for LGBTQ+ travelers.

MODERN NOSTALGIA design collaboration with Phil Hamlett

“Phil Hamlett approached me about collaborating on a series of images that would be used as interior design for a group of historically aware restaurants opening in Southern California. Over a creative and thought provoking series of calls over Easter weekend, we delivered two portfolios of conceptual interior design imagery.
The best stuff always lands on the cutting room floor ;)
This series I totally enjoyed, proposing it as being “Nostalgic Americana meets the diversity of 2026”.

“ Everyone hates AI. I hate AI. What better time in history to explore this new medium.

It’s so new you can’t really be bad at it. Or good at it.

You can be free. And as a traditional photographer for 40 years now, that freedom has been to seductive to ignore “

Kathryn and I started Tidepool Reps when I was pregnant with my daughter Hazelle, who turns 25 next month. We raised the business while raising her, juggling portfolios and meetings and all of those aches and pains, while I learned how to be a mom at the same time. Thankfully my then business partner is Godmother and bestie all wrapped into one. Hazelle napped a ton and was self-content in Kathryn’s home office so was with us every day. We both remember the moment this photo was taken so clearly because it marked the moment we knew she had outgrown us. We were hard at work and thought she has playing so nicely on her own, and looked over to her goofing at us from the next room - she had snuck away to surprise us! We both looked at her and laughing said to each other, she really needs a playmate and nanny.

I’ll never forget one of my first meetings with photographer Timothy Archibald. We met in busy downtown San Francisco in a crowded restaurant and Hazelle was strapped to my chest. I recall he remarked “you’re bringing the baby??” And he didn’t say that in judgement that she was out of place or inappropriate, one of the many things I appreciate about Timothy, he was just startled to learn how calm and easy she was. Hazelle hung out and went with the flow. I brought her everywhere. She was the Tidepool baby!

I am now Brooke Embry Artist Management (BEAM) and Kathryn is now Ground & Gold (.healing) Hazelle works in a library in Seattle, and has a cat named Rainy. Being her mom is my light and joy, and like the tide she comes into my every day. Sometimes a text, sometimes I get to hear her voice - but I get a little Hazelle every day and I simply love that. It never stops, that mama love, I am so grateful.

Happy Mother’s Day, to all the mamas! I celebrate your beautiful mama hearts!! 💕
