The Vineyard Icon

RP: Honored to capture the inaugural Vineyard Icon Awards—an assignment I carried with deep gratitude.

Created by Erin Goldson, this celebration brought together true ICONS—from Gayle King and Cory Booker to Keisha Lance Bottoms and Elaine Welteroth—making every frame unforgettable. Every detail was intentional, every moment electric.

I’m especially grateful for the opportunity to document such a momentous moment in history and to see the work published in Forbes, Travel + Leisure Co. EBONY Media, and more.

Beyond the images, it’s the relationships built in these spaces that inspire me most. Each connection opens new doors and fuels growth, reminding me that this journey is about more than just capturing moments—it’s about creating lasting impact. Excited to see how the Vineyard ICON legacy continues to unfold.
