• Stealing kisses waiting for a runaway train 😍😘 Ready for STORYTIME?!📚 Shawn + Monica ❤️ He’s Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 she’s Ecuadorian 🇪🇨. They’re both nurses in the Brooklyn area, and they have this old soul, lifelong best friends, bring out the best in one another kinda love. I met Shawn at @socalitycamp a few years back, and us creatives are a hearty bunch that stick together even if it’s across the continent. When they reached out to me to photograph their engagement + wedding, I was literally like “I’LL HOP ON A PLANE TOMORROW!!!!” 😅🤪 I had the privilege to have dinner with these two lovebirds last night after their engagement session, and learn about how 2020 has been for them personally, working non-stop serving patients battling COVID-19. Needless to say, I shed some tears listening to their experiences, and the burden they’ve been carrying over the last 14 months. I was blown away by Monica’s relentless faith in God to keep carrying her through daily, and also hear of the incredible support Shawn and their families have been to them. Thank you both for serving others and literally saving lives! I am thankful for people like you who put their lives on the line every day. I cannot wait to celebrate and photograph your wedding this summer!! Thanks for making this bridesmaid with a camera feel like FAM 🥺💖

  • City elopement vibes 😍😍😍 Ok ok someone slap my hand because this post has been sitting in my drafts forever for waaaayyyy too long 🤦🏽‍♀️!! *Ahem* How gorgeous are these two?? When Madison + Jonny reached out asking to do a bridal elopement session in lieu of their big wedding and on the same day as their Zoom ceremony, how could I not say an enthusiastic YES!!!! Pandemic wedding planning does not have to be a nightmare!! It may require a bit more creativity and flexibility though 😜. If you’re thinking of pushing out the big celebration, then all the more time to plan, or if you’re scaling down on guest count, then your cost goes down too! Us vendors LOVE what we do, so don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions, most are more than willing to accommodate and collaborate! Big, small, or something in between - pick your top 3 MUST HAVES and center your wedding budget around that and stick to it!! I encourage you to sit down with your partner and write down the 3 big budget items for your wedding, agree on it, and then plan from there. Everything else should be treated as supplementary 😜! Can you tell I stinking’ LOVE talking about all things wedding 💁🏽‍♀️?! If you have any Qs about the planning process from a wedding photographer’s perspective, hit me in the DMs or schedule a free consultation call with me via the 🔗 in my bio 👀

  • Elopements...microweddings...minimonies...sequel wedings...what on earth are all these different types of small wedding celebrations?! There's no doubt about it - the pandemic has GREATLY affected the wedding industry and has totally reframed how couples decide how they celebrate their nuptials. So many couples have had to get creative about how they celebrate and rethink how to still get married without all the bells + whistles of what a traditional 150+ person wedding offers. Learn about these popular wedding trends on my new blog post that I think will be here to stay, even beyond the pandemic 😉!

  • I had a lovely well-thought out caption for this but kept getting interrupted trying to craft the perfect words, so below are 7 highlights from me and @johnsonmicah5’s first Valentine’s Day together. I am so thankful for my guy who loves + serves me well, has the best heart, is funny, goofy, and has been such amazing support of my dreams and always makes sure we eat well cuz we’re foodies 😋. 1.) The cutest book ever by @bookofusofficial at @uncommongoods that Micah had made that totally made me ball like a baby when I read it 😭❤️. It has cartoon avatars that look like us 🥺. 2.) Beautiful blooms from @uandiflowers (how cool are those fringey tulips??) and a handmade card by the very talented @liizyoongee at @hearten_co 3.) Dinner at @cocottesf with live jazz was pretty much perfect. Some of the best food + wine + ambiance the city has to offer and it’s just a short walk in my neighborhood 4.) Micah making up a silly Valentine’s Day song set to the tune of “happy birthday” 😝 5.) Yogis singing Purple Rain at the end of their vinyasa flow, while I was waiting for my clients 6.) Micah assisting me on a shoot + capturing some super fun behind-the-scenes of a surprise proposal this morning. My client was SO surprised and it was the best thing ever getting to photograph their love on a day all about love 😍 7.) Receiving Valentine’s from Micah’s niece + nephew just melted my heart 🥰 @rachael825 El Fin 💘.

  • You don’t need a lot to make a 💍 proposal special! Sometimes all it takes is a gorgeous place and your love for one another 🥰! Save this post to have some fun ideas to think about or share with a friend who is planning to pop the question! • Is there a special place to you and your partner? (A place with a pretty view, a hiking spot you frequent, etc) • Where was your first date? What if we recreated where it all began? • Is there a place where you realized you wanted to spend your life with your partner? What if we recreated that moment 🥰?? • Would your partner want your closest friends + fam there, or are the two of you more private and want the moment between the two of you? I always recommend involving help, whether it’s your photographer, a planner, or a few close friends + family to help set up (even if you don’t have them attend during the actual proposal, involving your circle is a great way to honor your partner 😜!)

  • What fun we had on this shoot! Just how stunning are these two lovebirds AMIRITE 😍🤩?! My absolute FAVE thing about my job is capturing the COMPLETE JOY on couples faces when they’re with their partner, just goofing around being silly, or taking a breath together and sitting in stillness during for a super quick meditation, and getting those in between serene moments. You def DON’T need to be a model to get good pictures, and that’s where I come in to help! I like to lead my clients through a flow (kinda like photographic yoga lol), where we do a mix of both posed + candids...or as I like to call ‘em - PLANdids 😜🤪. Some shots I’ll lead you through a pose to get all the right angles, and others I’ll lead you through prompting to get more candid, natural movement. That way you’ll get a nice mix of all the good stuff in your final gallery 🙌🏽! When you book with me, you also get access to my session prep guide, which helps set you up for success! There’s nothing I enjoy more than equipping and empowering you to flaunt what your momma gave ya 😜😘!
