it feels like there's never any time to waste if we're too busy trying to chase it.

24/08/2023

salt air & the rust on your door, i never needed anything more.

23/08/2023

i’d go too far just to have you near.

21/08/2023

hold on to this feeling cause you won't feel it for long.

standing barefoot in the middle of the road. nothing new to see here 😜

the lights, the greenery, the colors, the architecture, it’s too much magic.

29/07/2023

can’t quite put into words how wearing a little white dress makes me feel. it’s something like magic.

28/07/2023

felt so good to be out taking photos again with . we somehow went 3 months without shooting together & omg it was such a high these past couple days taking photos in sedona. i’m eternally grateful for this job of mine but holy cow creative burnout is so real. & then you get over the slump, that rush of excitement hits you again & you remember why you fell in love with creating in the first place.

a sunset to remember 🌇 sharing some of the most spectacular sunsets we’ve photographed but if i’m being honest, i think some of my favorites are all in memory. as tempting as it is to pull out your camera or phone when you see a painted sky, sometimes it’s nice to just take it in because it changes so quickly & before you know it, it’s gone.

just a girl, her camera & a tripod. call it vanity, call it self-obsession, 🎶 call it what you want to 🎶. i call it creative independence.

from the initial idea that came to mind, to the styling, to the hair & makeup, to playing around with angles & light while shooting, & ultimately to the fun in editing - sometimes all you have to work with is yourself.

i’ve loved taking pictures since i was a kid. so much so that i’d bribe my sister to let me style her in one of my sewn creations, curl her hair, apply some wild eyeshadow & step in front of my digital camera directing her in all the poses i saw on top model.

cut to 20 some years later, i married an incredible photographer who loves creating with me but hi hello, he’s got his own projects to work on. so do i expect him to drop everything he’s doing whenever i have an idea? nope.

i’ve never liked relying on other people to execute something i’m passionate about especially if it’s something i think i can do myself. it can be a struggle, a major learning curve & honestly sometimes it takes a LOT longer to make your vision come to life all on your own but then you get THE SHOT & all the time, blood, sweat & tears it took to get there are so worth it.

i hope some of these photos inspire you to play around with taking your own self portraits. you can do it.

sweet, sweet summertime ☀️ just a few fond memories during this dreadfully hot season. summer in arizona is so weird. most days are over 100 degrees which is even more miserable than it sounds but there’s also something so nostalgic & magical about this season. do you enjoy the summer season?

i also find it extremely strange that summer doesn’t technically begin until the end of june & ends once september is just about over. september is still hellishly hot here in az but once the “bers” start idk, i just feel like it should be fall.

as much as we love natural light as photographers, artificial light play is always a fun time too. whether it’s string lights (bokeh heaven), a quirky lamp, a disneyland set or we’re simply “dancing round the kitchen in the refrigerator light” IYKYK, manipulating light makes taking a photo so much more fun & creative ESPECIALLY if natural light is nonexistent. here’s a few of my fav examples from over the years.

1. 8/21/21📍our kitchen | phoenix, arizona (all too well lyric inspo, who remembers? 🥹)
2. 10/25/19📍calgary, alberta
3. 5/2/17📍sea of galilee, israel
4. 12/9/20📍hotel room in tucson, arizona (we actually love rearranging furniture in hotel rooms for shoots! don’t worry, we always put everything back 😉)
5. 3/8/22📍scottsdale, arizona
6. 2/12/22📍bryan’s office | phoenix, arizona
7. 12/2/17📍vancouver, british columbia
8. 4/20/20📍our bathroom | phoenix, arizona (this was an ad & i wasn’t about to do any additional advertising so thank AI for replacing the device with a teeny wine glass 😂)
9. 9/20/22📍a cell phone provider store | phoenix, arizona (also was an ad 🙃 we’d never disturb a place of business like this without permission but yes it was still extremely embarrassing)
10. 5/20/21📍our closet | phoenix, arizona (yet another AI replacement that looks ultra unnatural *zoom in on my hand at your own risk* ✌️but i actually had so much fun creating this shoot for a brand partnership & was so happy with the way it turned out)

not over this $6 sweater i thrifted the week before our trip to austria 🖤

20/05/2023

today, i experienced one of those moments that i truly thought only happened in the movies. while i was sipping on my coffee in the passenger seat, had to slam on the breaks. hot coffee EVERYWHERE. my poor husband felt so bad (of course none of it hit him) but i told him better hot coffee all over me & no car accident than hot coffee all over me + a car accident because the coffee explosion would’ve happened either way. & the alternative would’ve been a lot messier. has this ever happened to you?

12/05/2023

as glamorous as these trips look from IG, all i wanted to do this day was lay in bed. was 2 days ahead of me with his cold & mine started on our last couple days in vienna. i can literally see it in my smile that i felt like trash but i’m so glad we powered through because austria was absolutely breathtaking.

appreciation post for my husband who powered through this photoshoot despite feeling like absolute trash. also, thank you for giving me your cold/flu/who-knows-what-it-was that hit me the very next day 🙃
