Three locations in one day but it was totally worth it! Photography was the thing that catapulted my love for social media. It will forever be my first love ... I am beyond grateful for people like Fernando Lauchu who have trusted me since day one and always supported me! I can’t wait to continue to push myself with my photography! *Also, the Walt Disney Concert Hall is a BEAUTIFUL spot to take pictures! I love how these came out! **Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my big, little brother! You truly have been someone who I can always lean on. I love you

Throwback to the last time I wore a dress To be honest, I was very uncomfy.. but I LOVE these pictures. I felt so beautiful.... No, I probably won’t be wearing a dress anytime soon but I love looking back and remembering how confident I felt. Self love and self acceptance are two areas I have learned to fight through. I am not a naturally confident person. Actually I am deeply insecure, if you really get to know me. Last year, I took time to sit down and really reevaluate the way I view myself. It is a daily battle but I am slowly learning to see myself the way God does.

To be honest with y’all, this week has been very difficult for me. I’ve had some very high highs and severely low lows. I haven’t felt like myself. Today, I got... dressed up to take our family Christmas photos. I finally felt like myself. I felt beautiful. I felt confident. If you’ve had a conversation with me in the last couple weeks, you know I’ve even really struggling with loving myself. I’ve been wrestling with God a lot through quarantine. Trying to figure out why this has been such a struggle for me. I am learning everyday that my struggles might not be for me. They might be for someone else. This concept has been hard for me to comprehend. This week, the conversation I had the most with God went something like this: Seriously?! My trauma wasn’t to teach ME anything but to help someone else!? How is that fair?! My entire life has changed in order to help someone I don’t know!? My trauma and my struggles have changed the trajectory of my life and my heart is slowly coming to terms with the fact that it is not about me. I am not here for any other reason than to help others find their relationship with God and understand that His grace and mercy are unconditional and everlasting! So, if you are going through a hard time right now, I am here. No, I’m definitely not the perfect person to talk to but I am here. I love you all
