A spooky season appropriate outfit :)

Autumn is here! So I had a road trip with my family around my city to enjoy those fall colors.

This photo was taken on a road trip in Jamaica. 

I was outside with my lovely dog and my vw Bus.

You are the ☀️Shine of my life. There’s never a dull moment with you, my son. For that, I am forever grateful for the light that you bring into my life.

Taking a ride to the Big Apple for with Madison and she gave me a run for my money lol. 

A sunny yet windy morning in the Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia. Apart from catching the sunrise at 5.55am at a spot called the Sublime Point, I caught a moment where my husband is a second away from capturing the sunrise light from his lens. I saw the ray of light and couldn’t help it. 

When we get older, we sometimes forget to slow down and take time to play by exploring the beauty of the world that is around us! 

It’s hard not to “fall” in love with a son so precious. 

fly high, you've got wing's

Umm... Definitely one of those #kodakmoments !

My favorites from our recent trip to Banff/Jasper National Park taken on Kodak Gold 200 film.

A peaceful moment with my boyfriend and friends.

Literally I was thinking about a Christian artist named KB. He has a song called armies and in his verse that line popped up in my head. I knew I was going to make that my caption on Instagram. So I grabbed my wife and did what we do best made a Kodak moment. 

This was an incredible experience from start to finish and one photo sadly doesn’t do it any justice. We were fortunate enough to win a sunrise hot air balloon adventure tour over Dubai’s desert, which included vintage Land Rover tour across the sand dunes, and gourmet breakfast at a traditionally authentic Bedouin style camp. The morning was perfect from start to finish with memories that will last a lifetime - definitely made the 3am start all the worthwhile.

On a hike with family, we came across a monarch with a broken wing. 11 year old Ruthie decided to carry the butterfly off the trail and place her on a butterfly favorite - milkweed. This photo was when she picked her up. 

Sweater Weather. Diesel modelling his new hoodie in a 1936 Chevy truck. 

Enjoying a peaceful lunch with the family after a beautiful hike up Blue Hill Mountain in Maine. 

Finally made the jump to start shooting analog using a Nikon FM2. After a crash course in  f-stop and shutter speed, I’m pretty happy with how my first few rolls turned out. You get all the fall feels in this picture from my recent camping trip to Pokagon State Park in Indiana, celebrating my 33rd birthday! 

We went out to go pick pumpkins. It's been a crazy year for all of us, it's all about making the most out of these moments.

When we took this picture Karsyn had just woke up. He knows he’s handsome and has a cute face. At that time I wanted to take a picture with his LoveHomie Shirt. So I was holding his hands and and was trying to get him to smile and just take a sweet picture and we did! It was a perfect Kodak moment♥️ I told his mom he can be a model, well he needs to be a model. Shoot if he has to start with #lovehomiebrand so let it be!!

Just a family Kodak moment in the beautiful city of Chicago 

I went to Zihuatanejo some weeks ago to make a fashion shoot.

The first days went fast because of the production and we didn't have enough time to sit down by the beach and enjoy a drink until this moment of this photo.

I love the fact that is the first of the roll after the shooting day and it represents exactly the moment I was able to enjoy a delicious spritz next to the beach.

After some rushy days and creative days, it made me remember that I love what I do.

Hanging with my best girl in our favorite place!

I have not seen my mother’s hair out in over 20 years. She always wears a head wrap. This picture is a rarity. It’s taken to acknowledge the role she played in me loving my hair as it is. I’ve hopefully passed on this love to my daughter and to many many more as a practicing hair coach.
