One of my favorite parts of a wedding day is escaping from the reception with the couple for a few moments and taking photos.

These photos can be during the sunset, at night with the fun streetlights in the city or even in the lobby of the gorgeous hotel your wedding took place in.

It's such a fun time for the couple to soak in a few moments together before finishing their time celebrating with their most loved people.

I'm so excited to share my love for the disability community and give other photographers the chance to enhance their portfolio while adding diversity on a luxury level.

Thank you to The Reset Conference for giving me space to share on your blog an this year and at a styled shoot in Panama City, FL

We are all created wonderfully and imperfectly perfect, some just have those imperfections displayed more visibly.

I love these simple, yet often overlooked moments.

Elegant crops of full frame images or in-between going from place to place captured at just the right second.

Those are what I love to fill a gallery with that you may not quite expect.

I'm always excited about what experiences and people that a new year will bring into my life but something that I'm also excited about is....color palettes!

What color palettes do you think will be your favorites in this near year? I'm hoping to see a lot more color in general but always love those classic neutrals. Oh, how to choose!!

It's my birthday! We have been celebrating over here for a while now (it's hard celebrating a birthday so close to Christmas so why not celebrate it several times?!).​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Thank you for all the well wishes you have sent so far. You know how to make a girl feel loved!

(And I know mom...I can't believe I'm 40 either!)

Film just hits different.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​It feels like a soft memory, nostalgic and worthy of reflection. Capturing the day and the moments like this will always be my favorite.
