There are some moments that feel a little bit magical.

Today was one of them.

When I opened my mailbox and found the July 2026 issue of A Romanticized Life by Bella Grace Magazine waiting inside, I couldn’t help but smile. Tucked among its beautiful pages was a photograph I had the honor of creating—and if you pick up a copy, you’ll find the famous Debbie featured inside!

I absolutely love this image of her standing proudly beside her car in her little red dress and white go-go boots. It’s full of personality, confidence, charm, and everything that makes Debbie so unforgettable.

Bella Grace Magazine has long been one of my favorite publications. I admire the way it celebrates beauty in everyday moments, meaningful stories, and a life lived with intention. Having one of my own photographs published within its pages feels both humbling and incredibly rewarding.

I was absolutely ecstatic to open my mailbox today and see the July issue waiting for me. It’s a reminder that sometimes the moments we capture become part of a larger story—one that reaches beyond us and finds a home in the hearts of others.

So make sure to go get your July 2026 issue of Bella Grace Magazine, keep an eye out for Debbie. Debbie Kinate

Three generations. Three chapters of the same beautiful story.

A mother, a daughter, and a granddaughter standing side by side is so much more than a photograph. It's a legacy. It's the laughter that has echoed through decades, the lessons passed from one heart to another, and the unconditional love that has woven itself through an entire family tree.

In these portraits, you can see pieces of each woman reflected in the others—the familiar smile, the gentle eyes, the strength, the kindness. The grandmother who helped shape a daughter. The daughter who became a mother. The granddaughter who carries their love into the future.

One day, these photographs will become priceless treasures. Long after the years have passed, they will remind future generations where they came from, whose hands held theirs, and how deeply they were loved.

Because while time never stands still, a portrait has the power to preserve the moments that matter most.

Three generations. One family. A lifetime of love captured forever. ❤️

Thank you Charlene, Whitney & Olivia for asking me to preserve these precious moments for you.

Yesterday, I closed the door on my studio for the very last time…
and then today I started tearing it apart.
Growth is funny like that.

This space has been such a meaningful part of my journey. It’s where so many women walked in unsure and walked out glowing. Where we laughed, adjusted poses, fixed hair, and created images that meant something deeper than “just a photo.”

So yes… there’s a little ache in letting it go.

But in its place? Something truly special is being created. That same space is becoming a bridal suite—one that will hold some of the most emotional, joy-filled, unforgettable moments of a wedding day. And I can already picture it… and it’s going to be stunning.

And here’s what I keep reminding myself—creativity doesn’t live in four walls. It lives in vision. And I’m surrounded by an entire building filled with beauty, light, and possibility.

So while I may not have a “studio” anymore…
I have something even better.

A new beginning… and a really good excuse to redecorate (again).

I found the most stunning French vanity that instantly stopped me in my tracks. So this morning Shawn and I went to pick it up.

From the second I saw it, I knew… this piece wasn’t just furniture—it was the heart of the entire bridal suite. Every detail, every texture, every soft romantic layer will now be designed around it.

I’m so excited to share a little sneak peek of the mood board I’ve been dreaming up… along with the vanity that completely stole my heart.

Fair warning: if you love timeless elegance and a little French romance, you’re about to fall in love too. ❤️
