KODAK MOMENT of the Day

This is a shot of my friends kids reading one of the monument statues while sitting on top and learning about the mountain. They are from Alaska and this was their first time visiting Mount Saint Helens and it was a moment that I knew I wanted to capture.

our cat was sleeping on the sofa and she put her paw on her face as if the light was bothering her

Beautiful day at the park 

Great time seeing my brothers from RIT after nearly 50 years

This photo was taken at the beginning of fall and I love this time of the year and wanted to celebrate the coming of the holiday's (sweater weather) with this moment. 

Enjoy October

Golden hour is always best in the old converted docks of East Boston. The old streetlights and new basketball courts shine in the golden light off the harbor - Terence and I were lucky to capture this moment basking in it.

In a fast-paced world it is difficult to take a pause and be immersed in the moment. Music is one of my favorite method of taking a break from the world to live in my own world and the subject’s gesture while having a cup of coffee on Saturday morning gave me the feeling of what I imagine myself doing every weekend and even every day

Fall is the best time of year to explore 🍂

Celebrating life that i nearly ended so now even when all hurts I praise the lord and live happy life 

no job no car no girlfriend no income.

do even when it hurts

Be light, stay in light, beautiful lights ✨

If it makes you happy, do it a thousand and one times 

Could stay here all day!

Posted these photos on a cold and rainy day in NYC, hoping to warm up to captured memories of friends and chosen family this summer in Central Park.

Gedeckte Farben und Rollkragenpullis – der Herbst ist da und wir feiern ihn mit unseren kuscheligsten Looks 🍂

Every takeoff is optional.

Every landing is mandatory 🌊🪂

Autumn can be always colorful.

Me and my 7 year old daughter were taking fall family pictures and she wanted to skip through the grass! These were our first family photos since she’s been born. We also had her 3 month old sister with us. My girls are my world. 

An incredible day in Rio, was your first time in Brazil ! Had the best guide ever (my girlfriend who is Brazilian) we were taking a beer at the top of Pão de Açucar ! 
I named that frame « What a view » because of the incredible view in front of us, and the incredible view that I had in front of me (my girlfriend) 

Hanging with my little pitty back in the day circa96

It doesn't matter who does not show up for you as long as that one person in your life pushes you forward you can accomplish anything!!!!

This one right here has rode with me when the wheels fell off. Grateful for our sisterhood...

Christmas party with friends!

As a photographer who specializes in day in the life sessions for families, moments are kind of my thing.  <3  I loved capturing this sweet dad daughter connection, and the beautiful light was a wonderful bonus.  

Christmas is the best time of the year for me.
The sparkling lights, Christmas tree, Christmas decorations, Christmas markets and Santa clause gives so much joy and hope to me everytime I see them. I love all of it.

A little bit of Christmas cheer is what we need all around the year.

Travelling in Toronto during christmas time ✨

This came from a wonderful moment visiting my home island Curaçao which is famous for its beautiful bays.
 

During beach day nephews were shouting, laughing and playing. That’s when I saw my mother looking at her daughter and grandchildren playing and enjoying themselves. A beautiful warm day, perfect with the Porta400 and the lovely surrounding.  I loved the composition with the foreground middle part and background. The ‘action’ shot was all fun and fortunate timing.

The family dog on the search for treats!

Looking for the perfect Xmas tree

I was on vacation in Pamama City Beach Florida and stumbled upon this ginormous Christmas Ornament. I felt like a little kid, running towards it. Kyle was happy to capture such a joyful moment for me! This perfectly captures what I think Joy is! 

I’m super excited that Santa Claus is coming soon! Mom captured this joyful moment as we’re awaiting Santa’s arrival!

Living for these slow holiday moments.✨

This Christmas season I hope that you feel a slowdown for your family — that you slow down and be present, that you enjoy every sip of hot cocoa with your kids, that you don’t immediately move the clump of ornaments around to how you want them.

Just BE + enjoy the magical moments.

Even the Grinch had a dog.  So if you don’t like dogs,  you might need to do some soul searching.

This moment is from our engagement pictures. This picture was captured in the vineyards of North Georgia. We get married on April 15, 2023.

call it magic, creating some Christmas magic with my little girl.

The kids are making footprint salt ornaments for their great grandma. 

This way to the Christmas Trees!! A picture from the day we spent at the local tree farm cutting down our Christmas tree! 

Nada como disfrutar tiempo en familia en navidad. Son los mejores momentos y se crean los mejores recuerdos. En navidad se dan las mejores sonrisas. Amor, carcajadas y compartir, eso es navidad. 

Life with kids are all about the little moments, it's embracing the chaos, it's embracing how they are now because they literally change overnight.

Katie's first Christmas, opening her presents. 

There is no great gift than friendship. Santa has been my friend for many years and sharing the gift with my grandson on his first Christmas is a priceless moment... a gift I will treasure.

Santa has been hard at work and now it's time to go glamping. He's ready for a much needed vacation. 

A moment from a recent trip with our best friends and their little girl, who is a ray of sunshine. I adore her. I took this photo to capture a moment from her nighttime routine which is bath, brush teeth and bed time story. 

Short break on our way back

This portrait is the reason I love capturing portraits.

Eating out last homegrown watermelon and being silly

It was an amazing feeling when you came to know that the clothes suits your pet and she look's adorable 🥰 

Anyone else feel like this month has gone by so quickly?​
​
I've been reflecting a lot on the season I've gone through with my family & the season I'm currently in.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Something that I'm definitely proud of is being able to prioritize my business around my family & everyday busy lifestyle. It's so easy to feel like I want & need more, but never sacrificing my family allowed for success to still happen. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Today I sit in gratitude. As much pressure I put on myself, God finds a way to provide.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Are you reflecting at all this month? What's something you've learned that you're taking with you into the future?

During the master a fantastic bond was formed between girls from all over the province of Bari ..... Maria had been missing for a very long time and when we saw her again we welcomed her with a fantastic song 

Had a creative block.. before getting to the shooting site but everything became clear when I saw the sunset and a beautiful garden.. the rest is jpegs

A bunch of us set out for Long Beach in Tofino  BC. It was late august which  is always my favourite time to go because the sunsets are absolutely amazing and there’s always airplanes landing right behind the beach. This time I didn’t forget my film like the previous trip (facepalm) so the hype was real. Well It didn’t take too long for a plane to meander into my frame while I was taking a picture of my buddy with his surfboard annnnnd *Click*
