🌈 as we enter pride month I want to remind you that LGBTQA+ doesn’t always LOOK like what you think. Sometimes it’s ā€œobviousā€ but what I love is that it’s none of our business if a person doesn’t fit the stereotype. Trans people can make a couple appear hetero, bisexual people can marry into what looks ā€œtraditionalā€, nonbinary people exist, and are valid members of the q***r community.

You don’t know the whole picture. You don’t know my clients sexuality, gender, or how badass of a human they are just from one social media post.

I wish everyone a very happy pride.
I love you

Love is…

Love is saying ā€œI doā€ in front of loved ones and promising forever.
Love is watching one another build careers and rise and fall along the way.
Love is calling home on your lunch breaks.
Love is always taking the photos even if it means not being in as many.
Love is loud and love is quiet.
Love is even your coworkers knowing how important your people are to you.
Love is asking for help.
Love is leaving a legacy to be proud of in the family you built.

I didn’t know you as well as many others, but I know you gave and were given so much love in this lifetime. Thank you for trusting me to photograph your loved ones with you for ā€œone last danceā€ as you put it. Thank you for always coming into the studio with a smile and forgetting something on the way out so I could laugh with you one extra time. And thanks for inspiring me to love my people as deeply as you love yours. I’ll keep them in my prayers while they navigate this next journey in life without you.

Listen, I don’t know the first thing about fashion, but Cardi B taught me enough to respect the red bottoms. šŸ‘ 

Is there anything else I should know? Lol

As summer break begins, and graduation season is in full swing I want to congratulate the class of 2026, I’ve had the honor of photographing many of you and you give me hope. So many of you are so driven and smart. Not everyone has it all figured out, and some of you don’t even realize that you don’t have it figured out yet. But you are a generation of hope and resilience. You survived learning in all formats but primarily post pandemic.
šŸŽ“Bonus points if you never used AI to cheat šŸŽ“

Hats off to you class of 2026

Happy Mother’s Day.

Moms who want to be
Moms who are
Moms who stepped up
Surrogate mothers
Adopted mothers
Plant/pet moms & everything in between.

And a special happy Mother’s Day to all the moms who have been here for me in my motherhood journey.

Not sharing babies on social media is a personal choice. It’s also annoying that my boss* won’t let me share some of my best work just because it’s of a tiny human.

(* I’m self employed, therefore my own boss)

As my client, you can share every single photo I create. I’m THRILLED. But you should have the choice to consent to your photos online at all times. Some parents share every single frame, some post and some share photos followed by panic deleting at 4am when the anxiety peaks. You should always have that option.

Today I received an inquiry from a stranger for an elopement. It reminded me to tell my friends… if you elope, for any reason, you’re legally obligated to hire me for the milestone. Sorry. I don’t make the laws, but I will call the police if you don’t follow the rules.

Thank you for respecting the law.

Who would like to guess which dog escaped exactly 4 seconds after this photo was taken and thankfully was recaptured 27 minutes later?

If I have any friends proficient in CapCut, I’d love some tips and tricks for getting the best quality downloads. I spent too much time working on this reel to give up entirely. Plus Drew and Kristen’s wedding deserves proper coverage on my profile.
