If you know me, you know I love three things in this world: my dog, photography, and tattoos. So when Hannah and Luis mentioned their plans to get post-wedding tattoos together, I oh so casually mentioned how much I’d love to be in the room while it happened. And to my utter delight, they agreed!

Fast forward to their appointment date over the summer and a time was had! Thanks to Amber N Hannah can carry her wedding bouquet with her forever!

Stay tuned for part 2, when it’s Luis’ turn to get inked!

PS - mom, if you're reading this, no I didn't get another tattoo...this time 😈

Kinda chic to plan the wedding YOU want

Just like Hannah and Luis, who pulled off the most amazing surprise wedding at their “joint bachelor/bachelorette party”

While in the wedding world, this may seem out of the ordinary, according to every single person I talked to that night, this was absolutely the norm with the couple. Forever down for the bit, they planned a murder mystery game with the ultimate plot twist, where they turned out to be both culprit and bride and groom. And to be very clear, I am always down for the bit as well 🤝🏼

I was happily roped into the affair and helped put together the intro video that played at the end of the mystery game reveal, as well as photographing their loved ones, all dressed to a tee. Brando's Speakeasy helped set the scene and run the game, and the couple’s closest played their roles perfectly.

This one was one for the books! But this won’t be the last you see of Hannah Dorsey Flores and Luis Dorsey Flores 😉

Who loves an easy breezy maternity session in your little neighborhood park? Us neighbors do!

I loved getting to spend a quiet Sunday morning with Natalie and Steve and chatting about this exciting (and daunting) new chapter they're starting. Three cheers to the soon-to-be three of them 🩷🤍🩵

I offer mini sessions of all kinds in my neighborhood year-round btw
