“I’m so nervous… I don’t photograph well.”
I can’t even tell you how many times I hear that before a session.
And honestly?
Almost every single bride I photograph says some version of it.
They worry about:
their weight
their smile
their arms
whether they’ll look awkward
whether they’ll hate every photo
What most people don’t realize is that no one naturally knows how to pose in front of a camera.
That’s not your job.
My job is to guide you through every part of it — your angles, your posture, your hands, your light, your connection — so you can stop stressing and just be present with the person you love.
And then something beautiful happens…
About 15 minutes into the session, the nerves start disappearing.
The laughter becomes real.
The connection becomes real.
And suddenly they realize: “I actually look beautiful.”
That moment will honestly never get old for me.
If you’ve been putting off photos because you’re nervous about how you’ll look, I promise you are not alone.
***DM me “CONFIDENT” if you want a photographer who will guide you every step of the way.

The only difference between these two images, is the posing. This image is not photoshopped, it is not manipulated in any way.
Most people think being “photogenic” is about body size.
It’s not.

It’s about posing, angles, connection, and guidance.

These photos were taken seconds apart.
Same couple. Same location. Same bodies.

The only thing that changed was positioning.

In the first image, they’re standing perfectly sideways.
In the second, I shifted posture, placement, angle, and connection — and the entire image became more flattering, more dimensional, and more intentional.

THIS is why posing matters.

You do not need to completely change your body to love your photos.
You need a photographer who understands how to pose and light you correctly.

No one naturally knows what to do in front of a camera.
That’s my job. ❤️

If you’ve ever been nervous about how you’ll look in photos, I promise you’re not alone.

If this is something you worry about, send me a DM with the word “CONFIDENT” and let’s talk about creating photos that actually feel like you at your best.

Trends come and go… but your wedding photos don’t.
After decades behind the camera, I’ve learned something most people don’t realize until it’s too late — the images you love years from now aren’t the ones tied to a trend.
They’re the ones that feel real, honest, and timeless.
This is the first in a series of things I’ve learned after decades in photography.
If you’re drawn to timeless wedding photography that actually lasts, you’re in the right place.

I've been waiting months to post this. As Gia my beautiful quinceanera that I just photographed this last weekend didn't want anybody to see her dress ahead of the event. So now I can finally post these gorgeous images that I'm absolutely in love with. I adored shooting Gia! I love when someone is just down for anything and she was definitely that girl.
A huge thank you to Claudia and Justin for booking me for their daughters quinceanera. I'll be posting the event images hopefully in the next few weeks. These pre quinceanera photos were photographed at descanso gardens

Finally, the last of this series, my top 10 absolute most favorite quinceanera poses. Here to show you some Dynamic poses that break away from the static. Boring standard quinceanera poses that you constantly see out there. I'm offering mentoring for those of you that are looking to up your posing game. Reach out if you need any help.

Contemplating today on this beautiful rainy day. Why printed images are so important.

I just wanted to share something in case it’s helpful. A lot of plus-size brides carry stress around photos, planning, and being seen on their wedding day — even when the original question is about something else, like dresses or vendors.

I’m a wedding photographer with 30+ years of experience, and I recently wrote a guide focused on helping plus-size brides feel more comfortable and supported in front of the camera. It’s not just about posing — it’s also about trust, choice, and being photographed with care.

If anyone here finds it useful, I’m sharing it gently as a resource (no pressure at all):

Wishing everyone here a wedding day where they feel confident, seen, and truly themselves.
