I have always been fascinated by photography. I have spent countless hours studying photographs of people, while considering the angles, the lighting, and the editing the photographer used. I love the fact that photography has the amazing ability to transport us to a different time, or place with one single shot.
It was not until I started blogging that I decided to take photography more seriously. With camera in hand, I started experimenting with photographs of my apartment, of friends, and family. It was after experimenting in this way that I realized my passion for photography. I have no formal training or background in this field, but I realize that passion can open your eyes to the impossible, so not only did I invest in the proper equipment I also spent the necessary time to learn everything I could to enhance the skill it takes to be proficient with this passion.
I enjoy, and appreciate the opportunity to photograph bloggers, couples, influencers who make an impact in their profession, families, and also lifestyle type setting. I take an individual approach to each person I photograph. I make every effort to embrace and highlight the focus of what they are trying to convey to their audience with each session.
I look forward to working together and capturing the potential magnificence of your moments through my eyes and the lens of my camera.
I am usually not a big nail person. I envy my best friend, Amanda, who always keeps hers looking impeccably painted. I wish I could be like that but within minutes of getting a manicure I have snagged, scraped or chipped a nail. It is incredibly frustrating to never get to look down at pretty nails. But I figured I would give it one more go after obsessing… over this recent find: Ciate Caviar Manicure. Don’t let the painting process intimidate you. The removal process was as effortless as the application (which I was nervous about). It comes in a variety of colors (my black here) that I can’t wait to try out for spring.
I don’t love wearing a ton of jewelry I feel like it weights me down and I end up taking it off during the day without knowing it. It is so bad that if I sleep in my engagement ring I will subconsciously take it off and wake up in a panic, only finding it moments later in the sheets. Scary and true. This is why I have been turning to dainty and light jewelry like my Maya Brenner and Dana Rebecca necklaces. These three rings, you see above, are on constant circulation. The solid gold band is a family heirloom that I fell in love with the minute I saw it. I believe it was a great-great-grandfathers wedding ring which makes it really special. I also love this one! The simplicity of the two are what I love most. My skinny pave band is dear to me as well. My mom has the same one and we wear them daily. Every time I look at my finger I think of my amazing mother and how much she means to me. It is something I hope to pass to my daughter, should I have one. I think investing in a dainty piece is well worth every penny. When investing in something it is important to know you are going to get your wear out of it. I promise, with one of these rings below, you will!
I posted the first batch of photos a few weeks ago and wanted to finish up with this little grouping! They are outdoors and a little more “typical” of engagement sessions but I thought Taylor still did a phenomenal job of capturing who we were! I just love her (if you couldn’t tell). Update on the wedding- Wedding planning is pretty much complete! Best advice I could ever offer; hire a wedding planner! No, but seriously, they make your life and this whole experience enjoyable. I am four months out with everything pretty much finished! Now bring on the champagne and parties 🙂
