It’s a beautiful day, and I’m taking a moment to e It’s a beautiful day, and I’m taking a moment to enjoy it. ☀️ Today I’m spending some time back on the athletic training sidelines, working a basketball game for the city college. A little different from my photography world, but another part of what I love doing. And somewhere between the sunshine and the basketball court, my mind wandered back a few years to this beautiful session in Colorado. I had the opportunity to work alongside my photography mentor, @d.annboal , photographing this beautiful woman on her property. The setting, the light, the connection, the entire experience… it still makes me smile when I come across these images. Funny how a photograph can take you right back to a moment and remind you how much you enjoyed being there. A beautiful day, a beautiful memory, and a reminder to enjoy a little of what each day brings. 🩵 What is something that takes you right back to a favorite moment?
The hot chocolate and churros are BACK! 🍫☕❤️ Cele The hot chocolate and churros are BACK! 🍫☕❤️ Celebrating the first hot chocolate and churro of the season at @menchaca_chocolates, along with their game night! I loved getting to enjoy the evening with my daughter, support a wonderful family business, indulge in some delicious chocolate, and just spend time together. It’s always nice to slow down, step away from the everyday busyness, and enjoy a little time together. Here’s to a delicious start to the season and more evenings like this! 💙 #MenchacaChocolates #SupportLocal #FamilyBusiness #MomAndDaughterTime #SantaBarbara ShopLocal
What an AMAZING week! 💙 Just wrapped up another p What an AMAZING week! 💙 Just wrapped up another preschool picture day (one of my favorite traditions, twice a year!), had an incredible high school senior session last night, connected with some wonderful women business owners, AND had past clients recognize and share me on social media. Those little moments of connection mean SO much! It’s weeks like this that remind me how much I love what I do. Meeting new families, reconnecting with familiar faces, celebrating milestones, and capturing all those moments that become priceless memories. And with the holidays sneaking up on us (how did that happen?!), it’s time to start thinking about family photos and meaningful gifts! 📸 I’m currently scheduling: 🩵 High School Senior Sessions - Let’s celebrate this exciting chapter! 🩵 Family Sessions - Because these moments deserve to be remembered. 🩵 Extended Family Sessions - Have everyone together for Thanksgiving? Let’s get the whole crew in the picture! 🩵 Holiday Gift Certificates - Give someone a gift that will be treasured for years. 🩵 Christmas & Vacation Sessions - Start planning ahead for those special memories! Whether you’re bringing everyone together for the holidays, planning a family vacation, or realizing it’s been WAY too long since everyone was in a picture together, let’s make it happen. And moms… don’t forget to get IN the photos, too. You belong in these memories! 🩵 Send me a message and let’s get something on the calendar! Wishing you well

Today is Election Day. 💙 A reminder that your voi Today is Election Day. 💙 A reminder that your voice matters. Your perspective matters. And your participation matters. For the women who came before us, the girls growing up behind us, and everyone who deserves to have a voice in shaping their future. We don’t have to agree on everything to recognize the importance of being heard. If you’re eligible, take a moment today to make your voice count. Because the next generation is watching how we show up, speak up, and stand up for what matters to us. Never underestimate the power of one voice. 💙 Make your voice count. #ElectionDay #YourVoiceMatters #WomenEmpoweringWomen #GirlsWhoLead #MakeYourVoiceCount
