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 all about investing in special pieces that will last and something I could pass down to my daughters. However, I am also a bargain girl and love finding pieces that look nicer than their price tag. These $35 faux leather Zara leggings are just that. I try to be smart about buying fast fashion. I am not a huge supporter of buying a bunch of inexpensive items just to buy them. I want to find pieces that, no matter the price tag, will be in my closet for a long time. I have owned a pair of Zara leather leggings for the past 7 years and I still reach for them every fall/winter. I know these faux leather leggings will be the same. I love the cream color! They will be so beautiful with a cream, over-sized sweater this fall or with a really beautiful sheer blouse for a dressier occasion.
Sizing: I say they fit TTS. I am in an XL and that is what my Zara size is right now. There is stretch in the waist band. They fit my bump and still zip so there is extra room!
I had such a fabulous weekend getting to celebrate one of my oldest friends marrying the man of her dreams. I have been asked about the dresses and accessories I wore so I wanted to have one spot where I could share them all.
