Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
A few weeks back I met up with the gentlemen of Bird & Co Event Management. These two are awesome! They cover everything from corporate events to weddings. They make a perfect team with their blend of business sense and creativity!
Check them out for your next event!

I’ve known Cristina for awhile through Facebook, she has been a fan of my work for awhile. What’s even cooler is that both she and Carlos are photographers, which makes me extra nervous during a shoot! These two were so natural in front of the camera, even though they are used to being behind!
Oh and Cristina and I share a hairdresser too – Audra Rene! Audra worked her magic for this shoot as well!
These two have a really cute story about how they met! Carlos needed a model to practice his photography and got in touch with Cristina. They met in person for the first time at this fountain in Balboa Park! Awwwww
They did this move with no prodding from me! Awesome! 🙂
Unfortunately I am out of town for their wedding, by my trusty sidekick, Mandi will be photographing it next month!!
Can’t wait to see the photos!

My trip has been pretty amazing so far! I’ve seen most of New England now and can’t begin to pick a favorite part! I’m spending the day wandering around some small towns in Cape Cod before heading back to Boston tomorrow to catch my flight home.

I’m leaving tomorrow for the first of many trips over the next few months. I’m taking a few days off for myself to explore Boston. For no reason other than I have never been there and always wanted to go.
I will have very limited email access, so I promise to respond as quickly as possible. I will be answering emails in order of priority, so if you don’t hear back from me right away, I promise I am not ignoring you! <3
