Absolutely beautiful couple and loooved their intimate wedding with their loved ones!

MUA: 😍

S + A 🥰

This session was sooo fun to capture. These two were soo open and hilarious! Also, we love a boyfriend who puts in effort into their photo sessions. Lol My fellow photographers know what I’m talking about 🤭 however with these two it was so effortless!! The love between these two is very evident and I was so honored to just be their little paparazzi for the morning! Thank you Sheldon and Amber for a fun morning! ❤️

I have decided to only take on just a few sessions a month so make sure you schedule your sessions with me so I can block that day out! Now that we’re in spring I’m looking forward to more golden hour shoots and more light 😍❤️

I’ve been soooo busy lately with different upcoming projects 😅 but I cannot wait to get back to photography!! LOL This makes me so happy 🥰❤️ just a couple more months! 😏

Hii everyone! I’ve been suuuper busy in my personal life that I’ve been taking a tiny step back 😅 but I’m still here and still taking sessions starting from March and onward!

Starting a business is tough! The website building, package building, learning about taxes, replying to inquiries, editing, marketing, putting together client guides, the list goes on! Photography is usually a one-man show, especially when starting out! Reminding myself to be kind to myself and that this business is NOT going anywhere, and we are “building” a business not racing for perfection. 😅 One step at a time! ❤️

The couple 😍

And also the set a mood 😍 loved this space!

K + M 😍

Welcome 2023! Thank you everyone who has supported my business in 2022 in any sort of way! I appreciate you guys sooo much! This year I will be focusing more on couples, portraits, and creatives! I really want to work on curating my own style in my work! I will still be accepting families but the spots will be very limited! Excited for what this year brings!

One more day until Christmas! ❄️🎁

One of the biggest blessings God can give you.. sisters! How cute are these sisters 🥹❤️

I grew up with 5 sisters and I had the best childhood, honestly!! We always had adventures together! They’re like a best friend you can never get rid of lol but I know I’ll always habe 5 best friends in my corner! ❤️

2 more days until Christmas ❄️🎁

Bactol Family 😍

This session was everything!! My first extended family session and I could not have been blessed with a better crew 🥰

Outfits, color coordination, vibes, family! 🤌🏽 PERFECTION! They were not playin’ 🫶🏽😍

Faletogo Family 😍

It was such an honor to take these photos for this beautiful family as they have had a huge part in not only my faith but my husbands as well! Praise God for this beautiful family and all the service and they have committed to in doing God’s ministry! ❤️

Looove this vibe 😍

Throwing it back to my husbands shoot! I’d love to do more shoots like this!

❤️Shoutout to all the beautiful families that came out 🥹 these are soooo precious!!!

Can you guys believe Thanksgiving is next week? 😭 this year FLEEWWW by! I’ll probably be posting less and less as the new year approaches so I can do a lot of BTS things for the business. There will be lots of business changes! ❤️

The Newtons 😍

Is it me or does it feel like winter weather just slapped us in the face 🥴😂 I mean seriously, it’s been FREEEZING here in Washington. My gyms parking lot was filled with black ice this morning 😬 anyway at least it looks like fall.

Reminiscing on this shoot! The weather, the colors, the location, the family!!🤌🏽🤌🏽

**Side note: working on all the xmas mini families and dying of cuteness! 😫😍

The BIGGEST lie you could ever tell yourself!

“I’ll start when _______”

…. My kids are older.
…. In my 30s.
…. I have more time.
…. I lose weight.

This lie has kept me in the same place for years! I’ve always been in love with photography but I’ve always been too scared to start something. I’m very much a perfectionist that if something is not done correctly or to the fullest degree I won’t even try it.

Fast forward to today, it feels very surreal that I have actually started my business in photography and I’m learning so much and soaking it all in! 🥹 it’s definitely hard work but I am literally having so much fun because it’s something I’m passionate about!

Start now! There will never be the perfect time to start something. I have learned that I don’t need a perfect start, you just need to start. The best things take time and patience.

Newton Siblings 🤎
