  • I can’t sleep 😴 so here’s another SOOC that I might edit soon 😅. My baby sis is about to have a baby. She will be a mom by this time tomorrow. Unreal to me still, but babies have a way of making you come to reality really quick 👶🏽. I can’t wait to meet my nephew 💕. I’m going to see if she’ll let me do her makeup like i did here before she goes into labor 😆
  • One of my favorite things I offer to ladies is a chance to wear those gowns they only got to wear once. We spend way too much on them to only get one wear. Capture it for life 😍 (PS...another SOOC)
  • While we are all sitting at home (those who aren’t on the front lines of this pandemic), I challenge you to post who you’re staying home for. Is it your spouse? Your parents? Your friends? Loved ones? Is it you? Tell us who you stay home for 💕. Enjoy these images of one of my team members and her husband 💕.
  • Wardrobe matters! One of the most important aspects to a successful portrait session is choosing your wardrobe. I offer every client a personal wardrobe consultation, but I also encourage clients that feel they need a little more personal care in this area to hire a personal stylist. @ladyvle hired @varnessabails for her session. I loved every outfit they came up with. This is the first.
  • This flashback is #SOOC (straight out of camera). I love when images come out so well that they don’t even need editing. Having this time off to reflect on my work is giving me a chance to revisit styles I haven’t tried in quite some time that I forgot I loved. I’m looking forward to getting back behind the camera.
  • Using the same outfit and backdrop can produce a diverse selection of images without a lot of fuss. Simple changes in lighting and posing go a long way. Black is my favorite. Details on gear in story.
  • #WeddingWednesday or at least the closest you’ll get from me 😅. This sweet couple chose to capture their love with a personal portrait session over a vow renewal. This kept it intimate, some obvious cost savings, but the cherry on top is I have several wedding gowns in my studio closet 👰🏽. She got to pick her favorite gown and a pair of earrings, he brought a suit from home, and voila! Wedding portraits! This was such a beautiful shoot and their love filled the room 🥰. I’ll have to post their video again so you can see 😍
  • This green backdrop I painted rarely gets used but I wanted to post something green today ☘️. This little girl is overdue for a new session *cough cough* @smithalee @smithaleeswife 🤣. But this was a fave from their session. Can’t wait for the next.
  • Reporting from a bright room with great energy 💁🏽‍♀️. How are you guys holding up out there? I’m over here doing some online learning while eating my fave fruit (pineapples). I’m going to be posting some of my fave shoots from over the years while we all wait this current situation out. What are you doing to stay positive? Also, I visited my hair stylist @alysianikole today for some self care 💆🏽‍♀️
  • R E O N A Reona had the idea of a sunflower theme if she had a girl. She hired me pretty much as soon as she found out she was pregnant. Talk about honored! So we finally got to shoot nearly 6 months later 😅 She’s such a beautiful mom and I cannot wait for her to have her beautiful baby girl. I’m sure she’s more ready than me of course 💁🏽‍♀️.
  • If how Friday made you feel had a look 😏. @meeshthegreat is always such an amazing muse! Her beauty is unreal (she’s literally been asked if she’s real) 😍. I tried something new and although it was hard, I like how it turned out! It will be easier next time now that I know what I’m doing 😉.
  • Happy Wednesday! I’m so happy to have received so much interest from aspiring photographers (as well as some mature ones) interested in leveling up their skills! If you haven’t already, visit the website in my bio to get a free download and/or to chat about where you want to improve your craft. I’m more than happy to see if I’m a good fit for you!
  • I don’t think there’s a greater honor than your colleagues trusting you with their portraits 🤗. @javariusconway is an amazing actor and has been my “on set husband” a few times (we always get to be on the water somehow too 🌊). I was so happy when he said he loved my work (behind the camera). Posing him was so fun and he probably only needed one ibuprofen when we were done (inside joke with all of my clients) 😅. This was one of my absolute favorites!
  • I feel so honored to have the chance to capture my little sister’s pregnancy. She beats me at everything, but she’s still not taller than me despite what she thinks🙄 She even let me do her makeup. Thank you @chanthestylist for her hair 💕
  • Sharing a bit of my personal life on this lovely Valentine’s Day 💕 I’m blessed to be able to do what I love because I have such a strong support system. I found my biggest supporter later in life through my husband. He pushes me to succeed more than anyone I know and I love him for that. What’s something you love about someone in your corner? Also, see a better view of this gown when you swipe left! This can be borrowed from the studio closet 😍. I also can’t wait for my next shoot with the hubs this year! It will be at my new home 🥰
