The difference between your inspiration board coming to life in your photos and it forever remaining on your phone as someone else’s photo, is the energy you bring to your session. Let’s talk about it 🫶🏼

So many times I am shown Pinterest boards, TikTok’s or reels of people’s inspiration and don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love to see what y’all are envisioning.

However, I think it’s very important to distinguish how those photos are captured. Some will think it just happens naturally and without guidance and in some cases they would be correct. But that is rare.

For couples who are familiar with being in front of the camera, I would say their personality will shine quicker and the inspiration will come to life easily. But for most, it’s unnatural being in front of the camera. It can feel very daunting and vulnerable and that’s valid.

So how do I bring your inspiration boards to life? I prompt you through movement and let your energy, your quirks, your chemistry together, fill in those prompts.

Because in a world of AI, copy and paste poses, I want y’all to relive your photos the way they truly felt like at that period of time in your life. Not just because they were part of some social media trend a the time.

Your photos deserve to bring you back to a moment. To feel it as it was.

Was thinking about this colorful and full of life wedding the other day and thought it deserved another spot on the feed!

These two just celebrated three years married this year and have two adorable kiddos now! It’s crazy how time flies and I love having the ability to go back into my archives and relive some seriously wonderful wedding days!

Reminiscing on this stunning wedding last month 🤍

A breathtaking venue, a couple so in love and their families surrounding them made this day truly one for the books. Stepping into this emotional and intimate joining of two people brought back a sense of realness to this wedding industry.

Their wedding wasn’t for show. It was for them to come together as one and embark on their life forward together.

Cheers to you both!

A cute little bridal detail during reception. When the bride changed into her comfy sneakers, I snagged her heels and had a little fun with my film camera and flash.

It’s in the quiet, unposed moments where creativity flourishes during a wedding. I love when I get the chance to capture these extra little moments on your day!

Love in the desert 🌵

These absolute cuties and their pup Mavrick, soaked up the setting sun for their engagement session earlier this month and it was just pure golden magic.

Stay tuned for their full gallery next week when I share the first part of their session that took place at a bar in Scottsdale. In total contrast to the desert, it was the perfect way to cool down with a drink in the most classy of ways ✨

I love how wonderful the photography world is and I’ll tell you why 🥹 Robby reached out to me a few months ago with a plan to propose to his girlfriend. While he was telling me about the details he said “you were the photographer for her twins wedding”! I knew exactly who he was talking about at that point. It made the inquiry and proposal so much more special for me because it was a full circle kind of moment!

Then when he told me where he was going to propose and I toured the space for the first time, I knew it was going to be one for the books. And it truly was!

A hidden oasis tucked amongst the city because he knew his soon to be wife dreamed of a nature filled and floral proposal.

Truly such a magical moment to be a part of and I could be happier for these two!! ✨

I was inspired by a fellow creative and decided to create my own post about my cute cameras that are near and dear to my business and my heart ✨

Two years ago I made the switch to mirrorless and picked up the r6mii. I have been a canon girly since my college days and won’t be switching anytime soon!

This year I added the canon eos1v to my bag and fell in love! The automatic focus was a game changer while still allowing me to slow down and be intentional in my film career. I love to bring it out on wedding days because I can move a bit faster with the automatic features to capture those quick “gone before you know it” moments on film.

My canon ae-1 🥹 the camera that was passed down to me from my dad and my first experience with the world of film. A piece of my heart lives with this camera and makes me fall in love with film every time I use it. Most of the time I am capturing detail moments during weddings because I can slow down very intentionally since it is entirely manual. There’s nothing that beats it.

And my lil Nikkormat that I bought in Greece last year! She’s a cutie that comes out every once in a while during creative shoots when I want to test out a new location, a new film stock or when I travel. All manual as well, the quickness of the film advancement almost makes it feel digital so I can snap a photo quickly as long as it’s in focus!

For someone who is primarily a digital photographer, you’ll notice the “hobby” film photographers influence in my camera bag! 😆

Each one serves its purpose and I use them all intentionally to capture your memories 🤍
