On April 15, 2025, I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer.

Even typing those words still feels surreal. Thank God it was caught early, but the past 5 months have been some of the hardest of my life. Chemo brought me to my knees. There were days I couldn’t get out of bed. And wishing I could just feel “normal” again.

As a business owner, I struggled with how much to share. Weddings are about joy, and the last thing I wanted was for anyone to think about their photographer battling cancer. But cancer touched every part of my business. It slowed down my response times, stretched out my turnaround times, and changed the way I showed up. Telling my couples was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but their patience, kindness, and support carried me through when I didn’t think I could keep going. To every client who has checked in, extended grace, or simply trusted me in this season: you have no idea how much you’ve held me up!!!! 💕

I had surgery to remove the tumor. The surgery went super well and I am officially TUMOR FREE 🙏🏽 There are still a few more rounds of chemo ahead, but I know by the end of 2025 I will be cancer free.

This journey has forced me to lean on others in ways I never imagined. There were weddings I couldn’t physically attend, and I cried over that too. But my talented photo friends stepped in with so much love and skill. Hearing couples rave about them, knowing they were cared for with the same heart I would bring myself, gave me peace. I am endlessly proud of this little village 🥹

Owning a business while walking through something like this has been terrifying and humbling. It’s reshaped the way I see my future. I’ve realized I can’t do it all and I don’t have to!

I share this because behind every beautiful IG post you see here, there is real life. Life that is fragile, unpredictable, and unbearably hard. And yet, I have never been more grateful for my family, my friends, my photo community, and my clients.

To my incredible surgeon Dr. Hartendorp and AMAZING nurses Jenna, Cassidy & Dean, thank you for taking care of me ❤️‍🩹

I’ll be back to shooting in October, I’m so ready to get back to doing what I love!!!

Thalia 🤍

You’ve got questions, I’ve got answers 📸

From booking timelines to camera shyness to whether or not I shoot film (I do!), I’m answering some of the most common things couples ask me when planning their wedding day.

Whether you’re newly engaged or deep into mood boarding your entire wedding on Pinterest... I hope this gives you a little clarity (and maybe even a few “omg I didn’t know that!” moments).

Wanna know something else? Drop it in the comments or shoot me a DM, I’m an open book!

Rebecca & Justin’s wedding at The Bourne Mansion was timeless in all the right ways, black tie with heart. They met back in high school, reconnected years later thanks to an accidental Instagram tag, and built a love that’s lasted nearly a decade.

Their wedding felt exactly like them: relaxed portraits, espresso martinis at the bar, and the kind of lighting that made the whole ballroom feel like a starry night.

If you’re planning a wedding at Bourne Mansion, I’m already packing my camera bag. Let’s make something beautiful 🥰

Some weddings are loud and grand.
And some feel like this. Soft, simple, intentional.

Cheyenne and Manny skipped tradition and made the day their own. No big production.

Just a dreamy stroll through Old Westbury Gardens, barefoot runs through the grass, quiet laughs, and an intimate lunch with their closest loved ones.

This is what a micro wedding can look like:
Beautiful. Personal. Effortless.

If you’re dreaming of an intimate wedding or elopement in New York (or just want to run barefoot through a garden in your wedding dress), I’d love to document it.

Photographing Victoria & Mark again, this time as they get ready to welcome their little one! It was the sweetest kind of full circle moment.

There’s something so special about watching a love story grow. From “I do” to “we’re having a baby,” I never take it for granted when past clients invite me back into their lives.

This maternity session felt like peace, softness, and quiet excitement all wrapped into one!

Serena & Steve’s Brooklyn Restaurant Wedding 🍷✨

After getting married in Colorado, S+S wanted to bring the celebration home to NYC surrounded by their closest friends and family, amazing food, and the buzz of Brooklyn in the summer.

Their intimate wedding at Aurora in Williamsburg was everything a NYC restaurant wedding should be:

✨ warm, effortless, and full of love
✨ an outdoor garden ceremony tucked between the vines
✨ candlelit dinner, speeches that made us cry laugh, and the kind of joy that fills the room like music

There’s something about restaurant weddings in New York that hits different. They feel personal. Comfortable. Like a dinner party you never want to end.

If you’re planning a wedding in Brooklyn or looking for a photographer who gets the vibe of an intimate restaurant celebration, I’d love to capture it.

📍 Aurora Restaurant, Williamsburg
🖤 Serena & Steve, thank you for inviting me into this memory.

✨ I made us a private space ✨

Photographers only. No gatekeeping. Just real talk, real tools, and everything I’ve learned from 5+ years of running a full-time wedding photography biz.

I created a private Instagram account called and it’s basically my digital diary.

Not curated, not filtered, not formal. Just:

📸 BTS of my client experience magic
🧠 Workflow & admin hacks
💌 Templates, guides, questionnaires I actually use
💬 Honest convos about systems, burnout, boundaries, and creativity

I’ve got a photographer heart and an admin brain and I’m ready to share it all.

This isn’t a subscription. It’s not a course. It’s just a free, private space for photographers who care. If that’s you...

Follow and DM me a 💌 so I know you’re from here. I’ll accept your request and we’re off 💫

Let’s build something beautiful together!

Summer time fun with the family! The Skoblas wanted a chill beach day to just roam around, explore and have some watermelon. I can’t think of a better way to spend a sunny Sunday with the ones you love 🥹🫶🏽

**Most people wait and hope clients will leave them a review 🙃 That’s a mistake.**⁠
⁠
You need to design a client experience so good that reviews (and referrals) happen naturally.⁠
⁠
In this post, I’m sharing 3 (very light) secrets that have helped me build a business full of raving fans without begging for testimonials or discounting to get booked.⁠
⁠
✨ And if you’re a photographer who wants the full breakdown (the skills, the systems, the real life talk)…just you wait. Something juicy is coming soon. 👀⁠

Hi, it’s me. I’m the photographer, it’s me 👋

It’s been a minute since I popped on here to actually introduce myself and what better way than with some brand NEW photos I’ve been (very selfishly) hoarding since April 👀

Captured by the wildly talented while she was in NYC, we bopped around my neighborhood in Astoria, Dagny (my go-to coffee spot), a park I walk through almost daily, and my home (because yes, I do have a cute apartment and yes, we made it work).

It was personal, easy, joyful and exactly the kind of experience I always tell my clients to go for. Not some random aesthetic location, but your locations. The ones that already hold memories and will hold even more after your shoot.

I especially loved making a flat lay just for me. Lipstick, my personal photo booth photos, NY details, etc. I even busted out my old photo album that has a spelling error on the word “photo” from baby Thalia that I will never recover from. (She tried. She really did.)

So hi! I’m Thalia, I photograph love stories that are both emotional and editorial, I help other photographers make their clients obsessed with them, and I really love a good flat lay.

A few personal things:
- The mug in my own is a gift from a client 🥹
- I’ve known the importance of photos ever since I was little. That’s why at the age of 8 I decided to make a photo album to preserve my memories
- The last photo is of a book one of my clients gifted me and inside are tons of testimonials from my other clients 💌

Let’s make something beautiful together 💌
