We’ve traveled and adventured as often as possible, but never once have be snorkeled in the ocean off a catamaran in a rain storm. It was a tad bit worrisome and chilly as it started to rain, but once we braved the (what we thought was) cold ocean, it was so warm. What an experience. […]

Actually, I REALLY love coming to peoples homes and doing lifestyle sessions. They are so intimate, in your environment with all your favorite things. It’s so special. I hope we continue […]

This couple has definitely felt the weight and impact of covid. Date changes, venue changes and all sorts of things that forced them to be flexible. But in the end, I’m not sure I could’ve put together a more perfect wedding for everything they described when dreaming up their day. Blessings in disguise.  I truly […]
