Who says mom and dad can't have this kind of fun when they have their own love session? Lose yourself, have a good laugh, and rock that pose momma!

Congrats to my wonderful cousin Daniela, I wish you all the best in this new phase as a mom, I'm sure you'll do great and both you and your hubby will be great parents to baby Isabella ().

& Marriage is the beginning of a new life, a chance at fulfilling your dreams and an opportunity for great personal and spiritual growth... I love, love LOVE capturing intimate weddings. Oh and btw, I also married them! Me and Sean Fresh Films were fortunate to have captured a very special moment of this lovely couple, everything turned out amazing....

I still remember back in 2018 when I saw a story of Anita holding a baby thinking it was hers and was like "wait, whaaaaat?", but it turned out to be her nephew. Back then she said "hah, not yet for us", but look at how things changed in such a short time. Now her and Matthew have an adorable baby girl who steals their hearts every day. It was a wonderful experience in this session, and Ellie wasn't camera shy as you can tell. Her cute smiles were the highlight of my day.

1,2,3,4, 5, 6...No group is too or too for me. If you're wondering "How should I dress for a family photo shoot?" or "Where do family photo shoots take place?" I got you covered! Let me know what you think about the colors on this session (for me, the spider man tennis shoes were the best accessory)

As photographers we naturally tend to be behind the camera, capturing the client's story. But today I wanted to tell you a little more about me: I am addicted to hugs from my kids... Family is my happy place I love to travel (hopefully I can do it soon) Giving back to my community is important to me #Nespresso lattes are my love language I have a love for photography and human connections If you know me or have worked with me, how else would you describe me? . . Como fotografos, naturalmente tendemos a estar detras de la camara, capturando la historia del cliente. Pero hoy queria contarles un poco mas de mi: Soy adicta a los abrazos de mis hijos La familia es mi lugar feliz Me encanta viajar (ojala pueda hacerlo pronto) Retribuir a mi comunidad es importante para mi #Nespresso lattes son mi lenguaje de amor Amo la fotografia y las conexiones humanas Si me conoces o has trabajado conmigo, ¿de que otra manera me describirias?

And that's a wrap of the year 2020. Even though it was an "undefinable" year, looking back at this year, I still find A LOT of things to be grateful for. Another year doing what I love the most, capturing amazing moments of many clients, friends, and getting to meet new families, newborns, couples, and more. I will never get tired of saying this: thank YOU for your amazing support! You were a part of my best moments throughout these hard times, letting me be a s...mall part of your life story. Let's mark a new beginning of a brand-new decade. May 2021 be a wonderful year for everybody, I wish you nothing but the best! . . Y se terminó el año 2020. Aunque fue un año "indefinible", mirando hacia atrás en este año, todavía encuentro MUCHAS cosas por las que estar agradecida. Otro año más haciendo lo que más amo, capturando momentos increíbles de muchos clientes, amigos y conociendo nuevas familias, recién nacidos, parejas y más. Nunca me cansaré de decir esto: ¡Gracias por su increíble apoyo! Fueron parte de mis mejores momentos a lo largo de estos tiempos difíciles, dejándome ser una pequeña parte de la historia de su vida. Marquemos un nuevo comienzo de una nueva década. Que el 2021 sea un año maravilloso para todos, ¡les deseo lo mejor!
