Maternity

Yes to late nights, yes to sleepless nights, yes to more work, yes to some days off….I’ve become the girl version of Jim Carrey in “Yes Man.” There’s that one part of me that wants to decline any offer of fun, and instead, snuggle in  between my Egyptian cotton sheets. January you kicked my butt, […]

DEAR LAST MONTH,

Personal

Life’s too short, sooooooooo   Manicures are scheduled in my calendar. Ice skating might be a new thing. I’m saying yes to a 20 hour road trip through Tennessee. I say yes to stalking my best friend’s new crush. I enjoy reading on the hill. Most importantly, I value my family. Twenty-four Modelos later and […]

LIFE’S TOO SHORT

Personal

When Elyssa and I began exchanging messages about a shoot, I suggested we shoot near the Saint Arnold’s Brewery. I normally don’t choose my client’s location; I prefer my client is invested in the shoot as much as I am. Well, two days later, Elyssa sent me a message about shooting at the Graffiti Walls […]

“Thank God for photography, and the photographer who decided it was worth taking a picture. A picture of such a simple accomplishment of gathering.” Whether you have turkey and stuffing or decided to change the menu, like us (ribs and sausage), the importance of it all is that you are gathering with people you love.

BE THANKFUL

Day 1 in D.C. started off with what I thought was the perfect airport outfit…sweats, a leather jacket, and a pair of New Balance, except I looked like a director to a low budget film. Unfortunately, another outfit gone wrong. I will spare ya’ll the embarrassment. Day 2 My ballgame outfit. On Day 3 we […]
