THE MOST LIKES‍

Coming it at 8.4K - My live video of the lighting of the tree at Rockefeller Center. This was a total bucket list moment, and I loved getting to share it with my followers on Instagram.

2nd MOST LIKES

I mean. I'm with Reese Witherspoon! I love this photo, and I love her. I am in complete agreement with the 8.3K likes on this photo. Better yet, though - THIS - boomerang video of the two of us doing the 'Bend and Snap' at her opening of Draper James flagship store in Dallas will forever be an all time favorite of mine.

MOST LIKED CHEERS

My boo and I have been taking the "cheers pics" for years. It is such a fun way to capture a celebratory moment. This onefrom our friend's wedding in a rustic chic setting, perfectly suited for a cheers...

..as wellasthis recent one from Wategos Beach in Australia.

FAVORITE SKI AERIAL

One of the best parts of Instagram is that as a photographer, I not only get to share moments from my life but I also get to share my work in a very approachable and accessible way. Aspen Skiers Vertical is one of my most popular Aerial Ski prints as well as from the first mountain aerial shoot I ever did.

FAVORITE BEACH AERIAL

I remember taking this shot in Bora Bora and knowing that it was going to be a hit. I absolutely am in love with the color of the water, the singular swimmer in her pink suit, and the pure bliss of it all. It doesn't surprise in the least that7.2K people agree with me.

FAVORITE BTS & TRAVEL GUIDE MOMENT

Starting with another video, I shared this #tbt of these 'behind the scenes' moments onmy Far Far Away series shoot. If you love llamas, you'll love it. I try to capture behind the scenes video on all of my shoots because sometimes you really need to show people how it's done, so they will believe it..haha! I also love getting to share travels tips, like this City Guide - London post. And, there you have it! I could go on and on, but I'll stop here and encourage you all to follow along @graymalin if you don't already, that is and also ask that you vote for me, too! I think that is definitely something to 'HEART.' Also, be sure to check out all of the othernominees, as well as see all of the other categories like Actor, Actress, TV Shows, and so much more that the Shorty Awards celebrate! xx GM
