#smoove jones

In this lifetime I’ve had some experiences that have made me question reality. Synchronistic, serendipitous, jaw dropping, eye rubbing, #WHATISMYLIFE experiences. In high school, the person whose music I listened to most, and who was the main feature in most of the mixtapes I made, was @myaplanet9 . A year after escaping the abuse, Mya’s management got a hold of my first calendar—the same one I was working on when LO spat in my face and slapped me—and I received a call telling me that I was booked to photograph her (thanks @spazoutent✨). I told myself this might be too good to be true and to not get excited until I actually got on set and took the first picture. 12 years and many, many, many pictures later, this goddess has become a dear friend of mine, and a cherished mentor. Thank you Mya for all the beauty, healing and magic you add to the world. It has been an honour to watch you grow and continue to shine. Thank you for the guidance you have so often and so selflessly blessed me with over the years, and for trusting me to photograph you. Some of the best memories I’ve had in this lifetime were with you and I’m so grateful! Forever in awe of you, you are #UNBREAKABLE I LOVE YOU MYALANSKY!!HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
