Throwing it back to one of my first couples sessions. Thankful for the M Rooks OG’s who have been here supporting me as I learn and grow as a photographer and as a business. Speaking of growing, any day now, their fam is about to grow! Just day This nugget + corduroy overalls + goldenrod are kind of unbeatable trio 🤩 Back to the ol’ grind tomorrow, but I hope everyone’s weekends looked about like this! These two let me follow them around to capture some shots of what life is like at home for them in this season. They casually asked me to take photos o As a person I am not about the drama. As a photographer I am 100% about the drama. Give me all the romance in the shadows with a touch of light to give us some contrast. And how about that epic wallpaper?

Another shoot with an amazing team Forever in love with this sweet grandmother. She exudes love and warmth ♥️ You guys know I am VERY into relationships and community. One of the most important relationships, to me, is that of children and their grandparents. In the transient w Ran into one of my favorite clients at the MS Museum of Art visiting all the way from Tennessee! Update: he is still adorable as ever. JORDAN. Goodness gracious, you were a dream. I can’t even imagine how Zach felt (although the tears of joy were pretty telling). You were a stunning bride. On the outside, an absolute vision, but the way you carried yourself and just loved peop This weather makes me feel dreary, but this look makes me want to embrace all the Fall goodness with all I got. I love this fam like I love goldenrod! As I mentioned in my last post, I have got some big changes rolling out, which will entail some limitations on taking family sessions, but I don’t think I will ever be able to get away from them completely I have a lot of work to do on my self-timer skills, but you know, it is one of the 183084950 items on my to-do list. A few big changes are going to happen soon as a result of me finally trying to brand my business, but I guarantee you, no matter if m When you realize your best friend is about to become your brother 😍 This cape has forever changed me. I will never be the same, @allisonwebbnyc . Rad talent involved in the shot 👇🏽

He was so proud of his new gloves, but they worked about like new shoes! He flew through that course today. Word on the street is that it’s this guy’s birthdayyyy. My favorite male model to date and look at that @kinkadesfc birthday suit! 🔥 Of course everything looks even better on @thefaulkner rooftop, too! I hope your birthday is as amazing I mean, yeah, let’s get one thing straight, Orley is the king of the house. He’s a dream boat, sweet heart, cancer’s ass kickin’ baller, but the other two are pretty bad A as well. I met these guys at a garage sale (pro tip: i
