KODAK MOMENT of the Day

I love to capture raw moments between families. Sometimes I have to get creative and say something funny or have them tell each other a joke, but the genuine laughs that it produces sometimes is INCREDIBLE. I just being able to capture a moment in time. There is just nothing like it. Especially with children. They grow up way too fast. 

Motherhood.

If light in your heart, you will find your way home

We were invited to a party and my best friend was dancing so freely and so beautifully that I had to capture that moment. It was such a fun night and we had a blast saving together. As I took the picture she faced me and looked straight into the camera. This picture is one of my favorites i took so far. 

One of my son’s favorite pastimes. He loves playing video games with his best friends. 

Nosing out the window 

I and my cat Bolinho, watching the sunset, at grandma’s house, after we had a fight. 

After everything is moved out of the way, it’s just US! 

We love hiking and having outdoor adventures! They always find ways to make it fun and exciting! 

First time on the Ferry heading towards the Brooklyn Bridge 

As many times as I've driven across the Bay Bridge, I'm rarely in the passenger side. So when the opportunity presented itself, I took my shot.

A fun time at the skating area with my husband on a skate date!!

Pré aniversário da Aline foi bem divertido e rendeu muitos cliques e risadas

Being a mom myself I know what it’s like to try and find the time to get to the gym. Sometimes we have to drag our kids with us so we can get that workout in. We need it not only for our physical health, but mental health as well 😉

So when one of my clients asked if it was ok for her to bring her daughter, I said absolutely!
 

At the end of class we were on the floor doing a cooldown, and her daughter got up off the bench and got down on the floor beside her mom, and did exactly what she was doing.
I was so happy to capture that moment for her 💕

Cannon Beach, Oregon with the pup 

This photo is a memory of my last road trip in France. With my boyfriend we love sunsets and the light this evening was very special :)

Life and love lives in every day moments.

Friends at the Med School Gala

Slowly teaching my son to play the guitar 

Photographed a couple for their engagement shoot in Boston, Ma. 

A few buddies and I rock scrambling in Tenaya Canyon, Yosemite National Park

Another day walking by the sea feeling the sea breeze on your face and not forgetting to take my medium format camera and my 120mm films, this lighthouse is one of the most beautiful lighthouses in Portugal and a lot of people leave the beach at the weekend. city ​​to come and visit the lighthouse and take a walk along the seafront and get some iodine

i captured this because i saw the connecting between the couple, which’s i think that full with love. 

capture the moment

I would love to be part of yours 

My Mom was visiting and we headed out to Lake Newell for a walk along the beach, to one of my favourite places, in March of 2022. I was feeling really positive that morning, and my silly personality began to shine through. As my Mom took some photos to me, I decided to kick up the mud from my boots to emphasize how wet the ground was. It turned into this, and even though it's almost been a year since this photo had been taken, I still love it incredibly!!

Um dos momentos mais importantes da minha vida aniversário da minha princesa 👸 

Fun at the Southbank Children's Festival 

”When we were in Milazzo, we often spent our afternoons at the beach till the sun set. Sometimes we unwrapped our days to each other, sometimes we just sat in silence gazing the softly breathing sea or maybe shared a fruit and did crosswords. We rarely took pictures during those moments.

But this one time I broke the no pictures-rule, when I was watching him refreshing himself in the ocean, floating somewhere in his thoughts, so calmly connected to himself. It was really beautiful.”

What small details do you never want to forget of this moment in time? Is it the way your child runs to grab your leg for comfort? How they pull your head towards your cheek for attention? The way your belly button pops during pregnancy? Your naturally long hair swaying in the wind? The raw emotion you feel after a major life event? The deep love you feel for another after walking through the trenches? The every day seemingly mundane moments that seem uneventful but will someday be forgotten?

Those details shouldn’t be lost on you, they aren’t lost on me either. The hand on her chin is my favorite part of this photo. That is real is real, it deserves to be witnessed, and cherished. 

You matter, love.

Caught my furry baby curled up and totally content while freezing rain blankets us here in Texas. I knew I needed to capture the moment because the tones were so beautiful and she just looked so peaceful.

Who's in the mood for some 80's music!?

As the spring is coming, people in Geneva spend more time by the lakeside on the weekends

Carefree 

I captured this photograph of my friend in a truly euphoric moment, in the middle of the Egyptian White Desert. To me it’s about joy, nature, the grandiosity of it all. 

I snapped this on my film camera one day before heading out the door with my daughter. I love her smile and the color and tonality of the Kodak Portra 400 film.

Friends that are family and the love of our pets! 

My husband and I met in LA when it used to be called the Kodak Theater. When we adopted our Australian Shepherd/Husky dog from a shelter, we knew Kodak would be the perfect name.
 

Warm weather is rare in Chicago in February so we decided to take advantage of the sunshine!

Priceless moments when they are together having fun

spring has arrived!

My husband looking at the northern light

Taking in the breath-taking view overlooking the Grand Canyon.

You could see on her face, glowing in the molten light of the setting sun, it was a magical moment she will remember forever. A Kodak Moment.

This was a photo taken on a lovely day in London. 
After the wedding ceremony, all the guests went to the party place by busses and we loved how colorful and charismatic all the guests were, especially these!

My son and his little furry friend

I was asked to do a photo shoot for someone who gained access into the UCF physical therapy program.

When it's freezing in South Jersey, we don't need to travel to Disney to have fun.  We go to Lowes for the real fun!  

we visited brighton bathing boxes in melb on a super windy rainy day. however this did not stop me from capturing this moment of my friends walking down the beach. although we suffered from the cold winds, it was worth it for the beautiful film pictures! i was testing out the kodak disposable camera, and the colours turned out so well despite the overhead grey skies

Paris Life 🇫🇷 

I was passing by Notre - Dame de Paris and noticed her. 
She was drawing the сathedral. 
It caught my eye because I like watching people in the flow of inspiration when they create something that comes from their minds. 
I always start wondering what they think during the process, why they do it the way it is, and what inspires them. 
She was so into her drawing. There wasn't anything for her except the penсil, her sketchbook, and the cathedral. 
I took the picture and glanced at Notre - Dame de Paris. 
Historical and majestic building. 
I am happy with this shoot, and I think she feels the same about her drawing :)

A typical day on Kaneohe Bay, Oahu Hawaii 

Eyes that look into your soul. 

Playing in our backyard because it was 70 in February here in PA 🙂

Mama when I grow up I want to capture life just like you. 

Sisterly Love

This was taken at one of the many Phagwah celebrations (Holi) in Georgetown Guyana. While Holi is steeped in hindi religion, Guyanas version "Phagwah" has extended to be a celebration and coming together of all people, regardless of religion, colour or creed. Its a day of spreading the colours of compassion, love, empathy and joy and is a day I am so incredibly grateful to have experienced. 

Simple wedding prep moments caught on a classic 1980’s Trip-35 35mm camera and Kodak Ektar100

Captured this moment of my daughter painting with watercolors on the back porch afterschool. It’s been warm enough in NC to spend some time outside and we are taking advantage of the later sunsets!
