Mom would tell you that I scrapbook religiously. I don't deny it!! I sincerely believe that being a scrapper makes me a more passionate photographer. It gives me more of an awareness of what's precious and dear, down to the small, intimate details. I treasure my family albums and the pages that I've carefully put together so that I can show them to my kids and grand-babies someday! I understand how sacred the union between husband and wife is, and the great responsibility I have been entrusted with to capture all of those moments throughout the wedding day.
My husband, Robert, and our baby girl, Cecilia, are my everything. Cici is such a happy, chunky girl and fills our lives with so much joy and laughter! Being a wedding photographer is SUCH A GIFT because it allows me to work from home, cook, and care for my little fam while pursuing my passions.
Currently, Robby and I are enjoying decorating our home! My favorite part has been printing and hanging our wedding and family photos (shocker hehe)
In the evenings, we love to curl up with a glass of wine and our favorite sci-fi show!
Another obsession of mine is a good, rich latte! Oh my word... caramel or mocha please. One of my favorite things to do with my brides is to meet at a local coffee shop in town and talk all things weddings!!!! I will listen to every little detail! Girl, I want to hear IT ALL. We will plan our timeline for YOUR DAY and sip our sugary, creamy goodness.
I experienced a beautiful God moment back in 2019 that shaped the way I view myself today and would become a big part of my approach to my clients. During a meditation in prayer, a butterfly fluttered near me and I could not understand what it meant. Again, I was spending time in prayer when another butterfly flew by. All of a sudden, I was filled with peace and joy! I understood that it was God's way of saying "I love you"...His little sign to me! It may seem small, but to me it was a pivotal moment in my life. I see butterflies everywhere now...in parking lots, at my home while I'm working, on vacation, and on wedding days! It brings a smile to my face to have that reminder from Jesus, "I love you". After that day, I decided to incorporate the butterfly into my brand. My senior packages have titles named after butterflies...California Sister, Painted Lady, The Queen! It's a reminder of God's love, not only for me, but for everyone and how it's my calling as a creative to spread that love to each one of my clients! To make them feel like a million dollars behind the camera. To show them a friendly face and to never let them leave a session or a wedding without feeling loved by Christ through me!
