I am sure many people have noticed that I have been slowly shifting my various aspects of my business over the past year. First, with a complete style change back in November, and then with a new logo and branding a few months back. Now, a completely new business name!
Read MoreI have always loved Swan Lake; It could be because of my dance and ballet background, or the fact that I love a good fairy tale story.. depending on the version you read.
I considered remaking the white swan this year, but with it being October and Halloween season, I had to put that aside and embrace my inner Natalie Portman and create a Black Swan.
Read MoreWhere are my Once Upon A Time fans at?
Those that love the show as much as I do, know how much you love watching Regina/The Evil Queen grown and become full of love. I mean, who doesn't love someone overcoming their dark side?
Read MoreI know, I know, I said that the campfire minis I just hosted would be the last mini sessions I did this year. But, I was working out my idea for our family Christmas cards this year and ended up choosing a family hot cocoa theme. Simple for a toddler, yet still festive enough that it works for the holidays.
Since it was such a cute idea, I decided that I would share it with everyone...
Read MoreThere's no tricks, but here is your treat, as long as you can handle this horror inspired feat. Continue on at your own accord, for you never know what else might happen when this notice is ignored...
Read MoreI spent the past week traveling and exploring the Pacific North West. It was beyond beautiful and I had so much fun
Read MoreI wanted to revisit another previous styled session I have done in the past, after all it is October. I love October and Halloween, so of course, why not get in the mood before the holiday officially hits.
Read MoreI decided to revisit a past stylized shoot from a few years ago. I'm Mexican, so I loved when I was able to spend time with Jaci on this Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) shoot. For those that are not familiar with the holiday, the Mexican Day of the Dead celebration is a time to honor the dead. The Spanish tradition, includes a three day festival full of parades and celebration of the life of the dead, as well as gatherings of families at cemeteries to pray for their deceased loved ones at the end of the day.
Read MoreI have spent the past three years exploring parenthood and the vulnerabilities that it brings. My thesis closed the chapter on insecurity and opened a new one for me to document parenthood in a new way. This year, I decided to showcase parenthood as it is. Each day I will capture a photograph from a moment in my family's personal life. They won't be perfect because, like life, nothing is, you take what you can get. This year will bring many journeys for my family, and I can't wait to share them with you.
Read MoreIt is that time of year! Fall!
In Michigan, that means campfires, pumpkins, scarfs, hot chocolate, football, cider, and some amazing foliage. Which is why the month of October is the busiest times for photographer in the Midwest. Now, we all know that I adore summer and the beach, but if the one thing living in the south taught me, do not waste the leaves. The colors don't change in southern North Carolina! So I always make sure to embrace the fall while we still live here.
Read MoreSometimes, we don't need the beach days and a family get away to relax and spend time with one another. Many times, though it would be nice to, we can't make time, we can't coordinate schedules, we just can't get away from the hustle and bustle of our regular world. It sucks, because when do you really find the time to just relax and enjoy yourself while we are all still young?
Read MoreEbony and I have been Facebook and Instagram friends for a while now. Last year, I followed her story as she came out and told the world that she had Alopicia. As an inspiring model, she has been working on awareness for other girls with her condition and has been rocking the "bald."
Read MoreI love when the fair comes to town! The lights, the food, well mainly the food if we are going to be honest.
Read MoreI'm probably super weird when I say that I love photographing other photographers. This gorgeous couple is from Mitten Media.

Read MoreSo many times we make excuses as to why we never want to be in the picture... "Oh I don't have my make-up done," "I still need to loose another 10 lbs then I will," or "I don't like what I am wearing."
Read MoreSince I was younger, I always wanted to work fro a magazine company, in charge of everything that went through the publication and in the end holding a perfect copy of all of my hard work Every month. Many family members and friends have always mentioned to me to just publish and make my own so I can still work around the schedule of my son. I never really thought I could handle everything that went into creating and publishing a magazine, but the idea has never left the table even when I thought it would be impossible. I have been debating on this for months now and just decided I might as well step out of my comfort zone and start working towards my dream job. After all, I am still young and thriving.
Read MoreThe summer has been an incredibly busy one for our family; full of road trips, adventures, and making new friends. Though it has been an experience, it was good when we finally got to just relax at home and just work our way into a normal routine again. With doing this, I have been able to actually sit and observe as AJ interacts with the world around him.
Read MoreI have always wanted to do a stylized couples boudoir session, and I finally ended up with my chance back in July...
