I moved from San Francisco to Miami. It's cheaper and I love the lifestyle, but I miss the professionalism of the Bay Area.

I had lived in the Bay Area longer than anywhere else, and I was ready for a reset. Something about the rhythm of Miami felt like the next chapter. More movement, more culture, more color. When COVID-19 hit, everything came to a standstill. Like many service-based businesses, the photography business that I had been running in SF since 2007 went to zero almost overnight. It was a big reset moment for me, and it was time for a change.
