Awesome job, sis!

This past Sunday was nothing short of epic as I got to snap Tiajahlyn’s sensational senior cap and gown shots! Despite missing our chance pre-graduation, we turned up the heat and made those moments unforgettable because, hey, better late than never, right? And let me tell you, this incredible graduate didn’t just crush it at Duke with one master’s degree in a blazing 1.5 years – she absolutely dominated with TWO master’s degrees! Hearing her unwavering dedication left me completely floored!

Tonight can’t come to a close without a thunderous birthday shoutout to my stunning Goddaughter! I am bursting with pride witnessing her incredible growth and achievements. She is on the brink of graduating from this May, and I am on the edge of my seat eagerly anticipating the extraordinary path that God has laid out for her!

Yesterday was my sister’s birthday, and as is our tradition, we held a photoshoot. This year, she claimed she could outdo the photos from my nephew’s shoot. What do you think? Whose photos do you think turned out the best? You can find her son’s photo as the most recent post on my page.

On my nephew’s 19th birthday, he made a bold choice to do something truly unique. He curated a distinct look, handpicked the perfect location, and took charge of directing his own photo shoot. Witnessing the remarkable young man he is becoming fills me with immense pride.

Stay tuned for more heartfelt moments to come.

Time is flying because graduation season is upon us. In a few month, this handsome young man (aka my nephew) is about to graduate from high school. SN: no, I am not ready for this at all. I know he is ready to concur the next chapter on his life. I am so proud to be his auntie. I wouldn’t trade for the world. Here’s a throwback to his one of many senior photo shoots in Miami.

January, Xavier came to me with an idea of what he wanted for his graduation. Xavier didn’t wish to do typical graduation/senior photos; he wanted to do something outside the box. So we did just that.

As she ponders about her life, one word comes to mind: Blessed
-for all, she went through
-for all she has endured, whether good or bad
-for the happiest moments to the heartbreaking losses
-for pushing forward with what she had
-forgiving everything and expecting nothing

And in the midst of it- God had made way for Torrie when she didn't think there was no way out...
So yes, she’s blessed!

Happy Birthday to my roommate and friend!!

One of the most powerful things you can have on your wedding day is your groomsmen, friends and frat brothers pray over you. The prayer from Justin’s best man was so powerful that it wasn’t a dry eye in the groom's suite. That was a memorable moment that will live rent-free in my mind forever.
