To think I have been their third wheel for more than 10 years now. Thank you for letting me witness your marriage! I love you both besties🤍🤍

Colombia has a way of slowing me down. The motorcycles going up hills, the wind on my face, the music, the accents, the nature… it all makes me fully present. Being part Puerto Rican and Colombian is funny because I see little pieces of each in the other. In Medellín, a tiny Puerto Rican bar in Comuna 13 made my dad and me so happy. When I’m there, I can really hear. I notice the sounds I usually miss and the world feels slower. It’s a reminder to breathe, to reflect, and to connect with myself and God. I love that feeling of being fully here.

I’m in love with today’s spring weather! Days like this in New York City make you forget how unpredictable this season really is. One day it’s warm, sunny, and perfect… and the next it’s windy, cloudy, or even raining. That’s just spring in NYC and honestly, I’ve learned to love it for exactly that.

This session was one of those days. We showed up and it was pouring. We found cover, waited it out, laughed through it and still created something so beautiful. As a photographer, I’ve learned to embrace every version of the weather. Whether it’s golden sunshine in Central Park or moody skies every kind of day tells a different story. Sometimes we continue, sometimes we reschedule but if the weather is manageable and the energy is right I’m always down to lean into it. Spring isn’t about perfect conditions it’s about being present in whatever the day brings! Amen!

If you’ve been thinking about booking a spring session, this is your sign! Now booking for family, couple, city hall weddings and individual photography💗💗

Yesterday I shared a little about my Motherhood Minis happening in April, and so many of you responded 🥹 I’ll be sharing more of those results tomorrow. But after posting on my stories, this session came to mind right away… and I realized I’ve never shared it here.

One of my favorite places to photograph, tucked away from the city, where everything feels slower and you can just be. I found this spot during a season of isolation, and it’s been special to me ever since.

Looking back at this session, I’m reminded of how everything just felt natural and at ease. Nothing forced, just them in that moment. And honestly… time really is precious.
The more I look back at sessions like this, the more I’m reminded how quickly seasons pass.

Being able to capture motherhood in all its forms means so much to me. God really shows His beauty through it all. Don’t wait to document it. If you’ve been thinking about a maternity or family session this spring or summer, I’d love to photograph you. I’ll be announcing my Motherhood Minis this Thursday/Friday and I can’t wait for you all to see it 🌿

Lately, Yah has been showing me who I am. My name, Elisa, traces back to the Hebrew Elisheva / Elisha, rooted in El, meaning God, and Yah, the breath of His name. It carries the meaning “God is my oath” or “Yah is salvation.” Not a title to perform, but a reminder to return.

This month has been about remembering. Being in Puerto Rico has a way of pulling me back to myself, and every time I come back to myself, I find that I’m closer to Him. Quieter. More honest. Less striving. Rereading the story of Elijah and Elisha in 1 & 2 Kings broke me in the best way. The devotion. The surrender. The refusal to turn back.

“As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel.” 2 Kings 2:2

I don’t want loud faith. I don’t want borrowed belief.
I only want a faith like theirs! Steady, surrendered, and willing to follow Yah wherever He leads. 🤍

Hey everyone ✨
It’s been a minute since I’ve shown up here, so here’s a little life update. Lately I’ve been juggling full-time photography, part-time nannying, marathon training, and motherhood. It’s been a lot…and I had to be honest with myself about how much I was carrying. I’ve felt burnt out and stretched thin, but also ready to reconnect with the part of me that started all this

When my phone broke recently, it gave me time to reflect. I remembered how much I love just noticing the beauty in everyday life. That’s what first drew me to photography. I want to return to that…not just creating for others, but for myself too.

This maternity shoot was so refreshing. I’d been wanting to try belly stickers for a while and it worked perfectly with her vibe. She’s had a baby girl and we were capturing her maternity but we were honoring her identity and her brand. I love getting to co-create something meaningful, and I hope I can do that with you too

I’m also training for the NYC Marathon. Some days feel impossible, and other days I surprise myself. I’ve only ever done half marathons, so this feels big. If you have any tips or encouragement, I’d love to hear them pls🫠

Next week I’ll have a booking system to help you secure your session more easily. You can always email me, DMs can get lost and aren’t the best way to reach me And lastly, thank you. 💗To every client, every person who sees me, supports me, refers me, and believes in my work even when I’ve been quiet. So much of my business comes from here, and I wouldn’t be where I am without uuuuuu!✨

Laying here sick with this cold, feeling weak, but these holiday photos of me and my little guy are bringing all the joy I need right now. Family and friends, your cards are coming (fashionably late, of course)!

As the Jackson 5 said, “The world needs your love right now.” Let’s carry that vibe into this season because love really is the best gift of all.

Shoutout to everyone who trusted me with your memories this year—thank you for making my little photo business thrive! I can’t believe how fast December snuck up on us. This year, I stayed busy, hustled hard, and yeah... I’m burnt out. But guess what? I still showed up and conquered.

2024 was a year of reflection, growth, and learning to lean on God’s love instead of my own strength. His consistency never fails, and I’m walking into the new year with gratitude and hope.

Merry Christmas from my little family to yours! may your holiday season be full of love, light, and laughter!

Hi friends, family, and everyone in between 👋

Life has been a whirlwind, and I’m here to catch my breath and share a little of it with you. First, let’s relive a piece of Colombia of photos I made my dad take from August because, honestly, I’m still not over that trip.

Life lately? Running literally and figuratively, letting God lead, and doing my best to keep glowing through it all. ✨ I’m beyond grateful for every family and couple who trusts me to capture their love and joy this season. Your patience and support mean the world as I juggle full-time photography, a part-time job, and carving out time for myself.

A few exciting updates:
🏃🏾‍♀️ I’ve officially qualified for the 2025 NYC Marathon and have a half marathon coming this April. Training has started, but I’m enjoying the journey without worrying too much about pace.

Big plans for 2025: transitioning to elopement and small wedding photography this spring and summer! NYC civil ceremonies? Destination elopements? I’m your girl—tell a friend to tell a friend!

Starting in January, I’ll be rolling out a booking system to make it easier for you to secure your session and see my availability. Also, business owners—get ready! I’ll be offering content creation and branding shoots soon too.

Thank you all for your trust, love, and support. I’m so excited for what’s ahead, and I can’t wait to meet new faces and create even more memories with past ones. Let’s make magic together. 💛
