Hello...

Merry Christmas to all. I realize as I write this that It has been a year since my last post. A few days after my last posted session, I experienced a personal loss. Something that truly affected me; more than that I thought it would. Some may say it was minor, this is what I even told myself. Now I understand that I was not truly being honest with myself. I still did photography throughout the year and my clients remained faithful to me in the midst of a very slow year. If you are one of those- I want to tell you thank you. Thank you for sticking it out with me. Thank you for your support.

I don’t know what 2024 will look like. But I have hope.

If your year has also been somber, know that you are not alone. 2023 was beautiful to me, despite a personal identity crisis. It was beautiful to me because I finally understood more about my “why”. I will share more as the months come to pass. I remain a wedding photographer and a family lifestyle photographer. This is who I am in the end. I document YOU. Thanks for trusting in me.

Thank you 2023, for the many lessons. Here’s to a new year- here’s to hope.

Minnick Family Session

A quick glance at this session and you wouldn’t know that we were all sweating in what felt like 100 degree plus weather, and that we were attacked by mosquitoes. Despite the gift of humidity, we made it through and the Minnick family session was a success. As always, I try to to have a few shots of mom and dad during their family session. I’m in love with the chemistry between these two. While I was holding Jace with my left arm, I was clicking away with my right. When the husband is out of the country and you’re flying solo, then I need to work for two am I right? hahaha.

These last couple of weeks have been very productive and busy in our photography. We have a lot to share. For now, please enjoy this sweet family session.

The Sorianos

I once met a girl after my own heart. Her name is Cindy. She was AND is a true friend. It has been a privilege to document my friend throughout the years we’ve known each other. We were both single when we met and we both have grown into the role we currently find ourselves in: motherhood. Our babes are only six months apart and what a blessing it has been to share life with her.

During our time in Chile, my friend went to go visit me. I truly treasured this because it was a hard time being away from family and her presence was a comfort to me. I am grateful for her and Levi, and their precious bundle of joy, Amy. Enjoy this beautiful session! The Soriano family on the blog:
