His tomb is empty, I've seen it for myself!
From time we went to Hawaii as a family! Before Lucy was 2 she's been on 6 airplane trips with us! Can't wait to share in more memories with my kids and family!
Adventuring together, some of my favorite moments with my daughter! Love the way she holds my finger 😍 ___ Photo by @mrskmarino
Sunday mornings are made for matching PJ's with my baby girl!
From when my son, Oliver, was one day old. Currently he's just over two weeks, and man did those two weeks fly by! ___ Ps - for more cutesy kids pictures, follow my kids account @oliverxlucy!
I've decided to take this account in a different direction. Since this will be my secondary account to @samciurdar - I'm going to focus more on my family, behind the scenes, and just the day to day moments of my life here. @samciurdar will focus more on my work, adventures, and landscapes - so make sure you're following that one! I hope you stick around as I explore this journey that is my life as a husband, father, and creative. To kickstart this new approach, here is a picture of my family - everyone except our 2 week old son! More of him soon! ___ Photo by @mrskmarino
[Before+After] Happy Sunday everyone! Just updated my profile picture with this image over on the new @samciurdar account. Photo was taken by my buddy @sethvdl with my edit. Swipe to see the before. ____ Ps - to keep up with my posts make sure to follow @samciurdar 🙌🏻
ACCOUNT MOVED: repost, sorry if you’ve seen this already😬 In case you’re wondering why I’m not as active on this account as much, read the full caption! Before I explain my reason for this, make sure to follow the NEW @samciurdar to stay in touch and actually see my posts! I have Instagram to thank for this decision. A handful of years ago I had the honor of being, what then was the super-coveted Suggested User. Some may not even know what that is because its not a feature anymore. In short, when a new person signs up for an Instagram, a list of people are suggested for you to follow. Meaning crazy growth in an insanely short amount of time. Fast forward a few years and multiple algorithm changes later, those Suggested are the ones affected the most (from what I’ve seen). As a result, this account currently gets less than 1% engagement, meaning no one sees my posts. My new account has grown organically (not Suggested) and gets far better reach because it doesn’t seem to be capped by the same algorithms that my old account is. Making the decision to move my account means more of my work actually gets seen and likely means more work for me and more providing for my family. I've tested this theory for a couple of weeks and from some articles I've read can't help but believe the rumors. Instagram only shows your posts to a small percentage of your following, and if you get a certain amount likes and comments within a certain amount of time, it unlocks to more of your followers. This means its probably rare you see my posts unless you’re one of the ones that engages most often. Even my wife (@amandaciurdar) has been affected. Essentially, this switch is being done in hopes that my work will actually be seen by those who decide to follow me and more importantly, continuing to connect me with amazing brands that allow me to work and put food on our table and keep my wife at home with our children. I'd be so grateful for your continued support and to continue following along at @samciurdar. I'll still post here on occasion, but my focus will be on the switch. Please tag someone who might want to read this! Love you guys, and see you on @samciurdar 🙏🏻🙌🏻😊

We bought a Ford Explorer recently for our growing family, but this car is so much more! I love taking it on adventures and so thankful for brands like @valvoline who believe there are better ways to help your engine run faster, stinger, and longer! What's your current car? // #teamvalvoline #ad
