Ever have a session that completely fills your glitter-covered heart with so much color and sequins?! 💖💖

Ashlee and I are huge Chappell Roan fans, and we decided to pay tribute in the best possible way! She styled her own look and we put this all together in a little over 20 minutes! When you put together a makeup artist and a photographer that LOVESSSS creativity, you get magic😍✨✨✨

Alright friends big announcement time!!

After living in our house for over 5 years, we are ready to start packing up and moving onto our next chapter ❤️

When Allyson Felix became pregnant, Nike was prepared to cut the terms of Felix's endorsement by as much as 70% due to the pregnancy, and told her to “know your place and just run.” 🤯
Amid all of this, she was forced to have an emergency c-section seven months into her pregnancy because of a potentially life-threatening condition and her baby had to live for more than a month in the NICU. But two years later she’s qualified for her fifth Olympics with her daughter watching.
Felix dropped Nike and created her own brand of running shoes, the Saysh One. She is currently running in the Olympics in Japan wearing them under the banner “I Know My Place”. 😏
With 11 medals now, she passed Carl Lewis this summer for the most track and field medals by an American in history!
"I used my voice and built this company for you. So that you never have to train at 4:30am while you're 5 months pregnant to hide your pregnancy from your
sponsor.”

Hung out with this season's Diamond (aka Ms Florida Rose) and decided to grace the Garden of Leu with her presence ✨

Who's excited for the Season 3 of Bridgerton tomorrow?! 🥰

I’ll be at the Mother’s Day Market in Cocoa Village on Saturday offering Mother’s Day photos!

Come get photos with your loved ones and check out all the other amazing vendors ❤️😄

Real talk

It's no secret that I've been struggling with my art style the last year or so, feeling like I loved the work that I was creating, but something just felt...off. And I'm not going to lie, we haven't been booking much, and after many conversations with Nick, lots of tears, and hard realization, I came to the conclusion that I needed a change. I've always said that my work was in direct correlation of my emotional state. And things were starting to feel a little forced. The sneak peeks I would deliver early on would look nothing like the gallery I would deliver our clients. It messed with me.

I've been reworking my signature look into something a little less saturated, but still maintains the punch of my current style, and mixed with the dreaminess of my work back from 2016-2018.

We grow as artists, we learn what works for us and what doesn't, and what we want to be able to provide to the world that is in itself a reflection of who we are. And as much as I love vibrant color (which is 100% staying for our reception coverage), I am more in love with this new style I've created. I want to feel giddy and happy and excited every time I'm editing the photos I just took. I want to have FUN while I'm working. And I finally feel that way again. 🥰

Please let me know your thoughts

A beautiful Spring picnic 🥰❤️

Saw a post a while ago about a really cute picnic setup and it inspired me to come up with the gorgeous idea of a completely coquette + whimsical garden party! 🌷💐✨

I literally wanted little girls to be able to see these photos and wish that could be them when they grow up. A hint of magic, lots of color, and all the girly vibes 💖

With these amazingly talented vendors, we made this vision come to life in the most beautiful way possible!

" Yo soy una princesa, lo son todas las mujeres, aunque vivan en sucios y viejos desvanes, aunque se vistan con harapos, aunque no sean hermosas, listas o jóvenes. Todas somos princesas. Todas. ¿Nunca le ha dicho a usted eso su padre? ¿No se lo ha dicho? "

A 28 años de su entrañable estreno... La princesita

“You’re a slt and a w***e for the algorithm. I couldn’t do it anymore. You can never feed it enough. You start out making art, and hoping that the door will open. You’re looking for that viral moment so it opens up the door and you can do the thing full time. But you start to compromise just to get the door to open: guessing what it wants, debasing yourself, alienating yourself. Until you’re not even in service to your art anymore. You’re in service to the algorithm. Deep down every artist just wants to be seen. Everyone does. And that’s how it controls you. The algorithm makes you behave in a certain way, create in a certain way, in exchange for being seen. And if something can change what you do, it can change who you are. And I didn’t sign up for that. I didn’t sign up to become a content creator. Art was supposed to be a way for me to be in search of, in service to, in community with. It was my ministry. Art was supposed to be my ministry.”

Had so much fun capturing this family session at Cocoa Beach! 🥰

Got to do mommy + daughter photos of this iconic duo ❤️💖🥰
