// ya know what, it’s kinda niche to book a photographer that you know will come with zero judgement, genuine excitement for your love story and let you somehow forget you were strangers five minutes ago.

// Things I learned in my first two years as a photographer:

You will fail. Let it teach you, not stop you.

Try not to take everything personally. Not every “no” is a reflection of your talent.

You will never stop learning, and everything is figureoutable.

Break the rules. Follow your instinct. Create what feels honest to you.

You will start seeing everything differently. People, movement, perspective, and the way light falls. It’s INSANE! Let it speak to you.

And don’t forget, a past version of you once dreamed of being exactly where you are now.

Keep going. You’re only getting started. Always.

// I’m all yours & you’re all mine

So much love, so much emotion all bottled up into one gorgeous gallery! there’s too many incredible photos, how in the world am I supposed to add them all.

These two love birds were models for a content shoot when I first started two years ago and we’ve kept in touch ever since via socials. Next thing I know they are hopping in my inbox wanting to know in January….if I had availability In July because they want to make sure I’m available! ARE YOU KIDDING! & ofcourse they chose heaven on earth as their backdrop Mountain Glow Lavender Farm.

You guys, we giggled and smiled as the sun set.
Couldn’t be more grateful for the joy you bring to this life! I hope I did it justice 🫶🏻

// a tiny masterpiece is on the way

Oh sweet sweet Casey + Amelia.

When her husband reached out and asked me to document their pregnancy announcement, my immediate response was, “I’ll take care of it.” I already couldn’t wait to dream up something beautiful for their family. Casey’s vision was an array of colorful gems to highlight her baby bump and pastel blues to announce the gender of their newest addition!

The most important part was keeping it true to them. At home, comfortable, and giving Amelia the space to have fun and be completely herself. She was so excited, and watching her take in this special moment made it even sweeter. We took our time and it turned out so beautiful!

Being invited into your home to document memories like these means everything to me. Casey Nicole Munoz , thank you for trusting me with such a special chapter for your family. Baby M is already so loved.

Hey everyone! Just a quick reminder that I’m only able to respond to inquiries submitted through my website. This helps me keep all the details and care for each session organized in one place.

Thank you so much for understanding! 😊💕🫶🏻

I’m so excited for all the memories that we will be making this season!
