What a day with Victoria and Demian. I meet many of my couples for the first time on their wedding day—just like I did with V+D. While I love engagement sessions, I don't feel any less connected to my couple if they don't have one. I'm not sure how it works, but when I show up I'm instantly pulled into the beautiful story unfolding in front of me even with couples I'm meeting for the first time 🥰

Also, this was also my first wedding at the zoo—and what a fun location. The ballroom is sitting right next to the zebra enclosure and the food catered by the zoo is 10/10! Victoria and Demian, you made it unforgettable.

Reception moments with Chevy and Guillermo! The ballroom Grace Gardens | Venue | Weddings | Quinceañeras | Events is truly perfect for large weddings like this one. The couple had florals by El Paso and Las Cruces Flower Farm and Farm Store decorating every table which filled the room with the most incredible scent. There was also live music! If someone can give me the name of the band I'd love to tag them!

One of my favorite things about this field is how many different personalities get to shine. You don’t have to fit into one box to be a great wedding photographer. I’m not the shy kind of introvert, and I know how to guide my couples and bring the right energy when it’s needed—but I’ve never been the loud, super extroverted presence at a wedding or on social media.

Social media has a way of pressuring you to be the extroverted or funny photographer, with that specific personality trait being a major selling point to couples; Which is awesome, but for a long time I felt like that was the only way...

Over time, I started noticing a recurring theme in the feedback I received—alongside kind words about photos, couples often mentioned how calm and comfortable they felt, and how their nerves eased throughout the day.

It reminded me that your personality isn’t something to change—it can be what makes working with you unique. There’s space for all personalities that can show up, connect, and celebrate their couples fully even if the approach is different.

Last week marked my final wedding before maternity leave. Every pregnancy is different, but having done this once before and not having a history of difficult pregnancies, I felt confident taking it on. That said, I’m definitely not as quick on my feet and I drew the line at anything over six hours. To make sure everything still ran smoothly, I brought in a complimentary second photographer for my couple.

Looking back on the past nine months, there were plenty of highs and lows. Shooting weddings while pregnant is not easy. Even through a few months of rough morning sickness, I somehow never got sick at an event (adrenaline is a powerful thing). I kept up with editing through six back-to-back fall weekends plus two additional months of weekly weddings. With Marcel’s help—especially his much-needed massages for my extra sore body—I made it through and got to be part of some of my favorite weddings yet.

There is probably a whole lot I can say about trying to grow a family in this industry. It can be hard, especially when you have to book events months in advance, and then cover events you didn't expect to cover while pregnant. However, I was also surprised by the love and support my couples gave me during this season, AND I captured some of my favorite photos ever. I'm not here saying everyone should do what I did, but for me it was such a great year despite the extra challenges that come with growing a baby. It's possible to grow your family in this career, no matter how much the industry makes it feel like it can't be done.

Having officially started maternity leave, I'm so excited to welcome our baby in the next 4 weeks and take all the naps I want before he comes ♥️
