Sigh… Walking onto that field tonight was one of those moments that makes you stop, breathe, and take it all in. ❤️There is something incredibly special about our B-Town. Seeing all my lovelies, my friends and my students come up to me with the biggest smiles and hugs. 😭😭😭😭🖤 Priceless🙏
Here, when one of our kids steps onto that field, they don’t step onto it alone. Behind them are parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends❤️🖤❤️and an entire community that shows up because these kids matter to us. 🥹❤️
We know these families. We have watched these kids grow. We have cheered for them, cried with them, celebrated their victories, and encouraged them through the hard moments. And tonight, standing there and looking around at all that love and support, I was reminded just how blessed I am to be a part of it.
I had to stop for a moment and capture our beautiful B-Town Familia underneath one of our incredible New Mexico sunsets. 🌅❤️
Because someday, these kids will look back at these pictures and remember more than the game.
They’ll remember who was there. They’ll remember the people who believed in them. They’ll remember their families in the stands. They’ll remember the community that cheered their names.And I hope they’ll remember just how deeply they were loved.
That is why I do what I do.📸📸📸📸🧡💜🧡💜It’s not about the camera. It’s not about recognition. It’s about preserving moments that can never be recreated and giving these families something they can hold onto forever. ❤️📸🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I am so incredibly proud to call Belen my home. I am proud of our athletes. I am proud of our families. And I am grateful beyond words that I get to stand on that field and capture a little piece of this beautiful community. We truly have the best of the best right here in B-Town. 🦅❤️ PROUD TO BE AN EAGLE‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
