Damn these pants make me feel confident! I don’t like to be the center of attention but I do like it when my clothes make the introduction for me. I am a social butterfly at heart, obsessed with the human connection, and love to communicate in a way that cuts through all the noise. ... #creativeentreprenuer #smallbusiness #mompire

I am not going anywhere, pandemic be damned! I was called a sell-out, by my peers, at my college for wanting to be a wedding photographer. At the time it wasn’t seen as a professional career, it was seen as a fast way to make cash. Not something a real artist would do. I am proud to say that I am a wedding photographer, full-time, and 7 years in and still loving every second of it! ... To all my postponed couples, newly engaged couples, and fellow industry friends; come hell or high waters, we are in this together. #weddingphotographersociety #weddingphotographers #creativeentrepreneurs

What’s your style? In a nutshell; clean, vibrant, and true-to-color. I enjoy capturing the environment as well as the smaller details. ... Attention to detail while being thoughtful and intentional is what I am all about. And when we’re done, a cocktail to celebrate! #creativeentreprenuer #smallbusiness #mompire

I have dreams... Dreams of being the best version of myself. While being a small business owner is hard right now through this pandemic, I have faith. ... Faith that my big heart will shine through. Writing my goals down with the @cultivatewhatmatters powersheets has helped me stay focused on my goals. I know things are going to get better and they will for you too. Little by little, small actions add up to big things. #cultivatewhatmatters #dailyplanner #graceoverperfection

The best cocktail, the best dessert, or a hangover breakfast? I’m always in need of an excuse to visit the strip, or even off the strip (hello arts and Fremont district)! For anyone that is traveling or passing through, send me a DM, let me take you out for some fun...the way locals only know how. ... #lasvegasstrip #lasvegasfoodie #lasvegasphotographer

gratitude changes everything When we think positive thoughts and come to a place of being grateful. We actually change the way our brain thinks and approaches to solving problems. I use to always think and have the mindset of what to do next. How to get to the next level of something. Now I am shifting my mindset to think of how do I make the best of today. Be your own source of inspiration better and more results will come from that then watching someone else. ... I challenge you to think of one positive thing you have done this year and multiply it!

Raise your hand if you need this! A weekend getaway to Palm Springs. Working on your tan, sipping on a cocktail, and hanging out with your closest friends. Can we please get back to this soon, sincerely everyone! ... #palmspringsbound #weekendgetaway

Once we made it to the top... Veuve Clicquot for the win! Nothing makes a hike more refreshing than sitting at the top, watching the sunset, with a glass of champgane. ... #desertadventures #desertlife See more

easy like Sunday morning... Oh...I mean Monday. Why can’t Monday’s feel like calm, easy Sunday’s? In my mind I’m floating on that red gummy bear. Reality is at home in pj’s, watching my wild and crazy toddler.... #palmspringsbound #weekendgetaway

We love adventure but not when it’s 108F Needless to say we did not hike very far on our first road trip to Las Vegas in the middle of August! Next time we will hike all the way to the top Christopher and Michelle proclaimed. ... Little did Michelle know that next time would come with a surprise proposal. #desertadventures #desertlife See more
