People have been asking me for my recipe here on instagram quite a bit so I thought I’d write it all down in a blog post so you can refer to it and buy the exact ingredients. This is the recipe to my power packed superfood smoothies or bowls which have become the highlight of my morning ritual. I seriously look forward to this every morning. This is enough for 2 people, so usually I have one for breakfast, and one for lunch.
1/2 half apple – Adds natural sweetness
1/2 avocado – gives creaminess
1 banana
3 organic strawberries
1 TSP Scoop of Matcha blended into 3 cups of room temp water – I use Tenzo Ceremonial Grade Matcha – tenzotea.com – use code “tenzono” for 25% off
I love my AquaTru reverse osmosis water filter. Use the code “ONKEN299” for $150 off.
1 Scoop GLO Vegan Protein Powder – https://gloveganprotein.com – Use code “GLOwithNICK” for $10 off one tub order.
GLO is a 3-in-1 plant-based protein that also covers:
*super greens
*Omega -3s
*PreBiotics / ProBiotics
*B12 + iron + calcium
*Enzyme blend / trace minerals
*Lentein
I’ve recently discovered the brand TerraSoul. They are very particular in testing for heavy metals in their products and only bring them to market if they are below a certain standard, so I’ve started using them as much as possible.
1/4 TSP of Masons Mushrooms from Superfeast
1 spoonful of Gogi Berries
1 spoonful of Cacao Nibs
1 spoonful of Turmeric Powder
1 spoonful of Ginger Powder
1 spoonful of Morninga Powder
1/2 spoonful of Beet Juice Powder
1/2 spoonful of Spirulina Powder
1/2 spoonful of Chlorella Powder
1/2 spoonful of Pitaya Powder (You can put in or on top of the bowl for a colorful garnish)
1/2 spoonful of Chia Seeds(You can also put on top of the bowl after instead)
1/2 spoonful of Organic Turkey Tail Mushrooms
1 spoonful of decaf coffee grounds (More for flavor)
1 scoop of collagen
1 tablespoon of coconut oil
1 or 2 leaves of Kale
12 ice cubes
Blend on 10 power on a Vitamix for 30 seconds or so
When I do a smoothie bowl, I add organic blueberries, fresh cut organic strawberries, pitaya powder, Qi Powder, chia seeds and granola.

What happens when your inner transformation meets visual expression? When Caoimhe Harrison came to me, she wasn’t just looking for new photos. She was mid-evolution. Her coaching practice had deepened. Her energy had shifted. And the version of her that existed online no longer matched the woman she was becoming. She didn’t need a rebrand. […]
(For the Financial Brains Who Don’t Get It Yet) Let’s talk numbers. Just not the ones you’re used to. If you’re financially minded, you’ve probably asked this question before:“How does photography actually pay me back?” It’s fair. You’re not looking for vibes.You want leverage. Personal brand photography often gets dismissed as “nice to have” because […]
Most photographers compete on price. The best ones don’t compete at all. If you’ve ever looked at photographer pricing and wondered why some charge $500 while others charge $5,000 for what looks like the same service, you’re asking the right question. The answer isn’t about skill. It’s about authority. Two photographers can have identical technical […]
A Free Download for Aligned, Effortless Shoots Most photoshoots fail before the camera ever comes out. Not because of lighting.Not because of gear.Not because of posing. They fail because of misalignment. People show up hoping the camera will figure out what they haven’t clarified yet.And the result is predictable. Good photos.Wrong signal. This checklist exists […]

Q1 isn’t about starting over. It’s about being seen correctly. The new year doesn’t create momentum.It reveals who prepared for it. Q1 is when visibility resets.When attention sharpens.When people decide who they’re listening to this year. And the fastest way that decision gets made isn’t through words.It’s through visuals. That’s why Q1 is the most […]
TL;DR – What You’ll Learn in This Post This Is More Than a Photoshoot These aren’t generic content sessions.

TL;DR – What You’ll Learn in This Post AI Isn’t Optional Anymore If you’re running a business in 2026 and not using AI, you’re already behind. That’s not hype.

TL;DR – What You’ll Learn in This Post Your Brand Lives in a Specific Universe A personal brand isn’t just what you offer — it’s the world you create around your work.That universe gets defined through imagery.

You’ve probably seen both. You might even think they’re the same thing. But there’s a fundamental difference between headshots and brand photography that changes everything about how your audience perceives you. One simply shows your face. The other tells your story.

About the Blogger
I was born in a low middle class conservative religious family in the suburbs of Seattle. Art was and always has been my passion, and more than that a way of life. Starting as a graphic designer, I taught myself photography, built a commercial/editorial business shooting for the worlds biggest brands like Nike, Coca-Cola, Adidas and more. I've also had the opportunity to photograph the world's biggest celebrities like Justin Bieber, Usher, Jessica Alba and more. I've curated a lifestyle around creativity and have learned a lot along the way which I get to share here.
