Say Hello
My reason for being a photographer is not to grow my following on instagram. It’s not to shoot the trendiest couples in super cool destinations, it’s not to build a photography empire, it’s not for the likes, or the reposts, or the comments, it’s not to have my travel paid for, it’s not to impress other photographers that i’m doing the most. The reason I do what I do, is to serve my clients. Nothing is more rewarding to me than doing something I love for people who become genuine friends, who i’m sad to not have the excuse to hang out with when their wedding is over. Who trust me to capture fleeting moments that might fade from their memory otherwise, that’s a big deal. I’ll forget how many likes I had on this post by tomorrow, but human connection, that stays with me. Being a photographer is vulnerable & sometimes exhausting but staying true to my “why” makes it all worth it.
@mrpagoda & I are celebrating our 5 year anniversary today and we’re falling in love with Mexico City! So much to explore, so little time! It’s been so nice coming back from all day walking adventures to this dream tub situation at our hotel @chayabnb.
Rode an ATV into the jungle and swam in 2 cenotes and a lagoon with thousands and thousands of fish today. Tulum has been amazing and I can’t wait to see what México City has in store for us tomorrow!
Tulum is the most instagramable town ever ever ever. But you know what, even better is the non instagramable moments that live off this app. Trying to soak up this time off in such a perfect place, so I’m ending my caption now! Bye!
Yeah this will do. ;) Sooo thankful to be on full vacation mode right now with my husband and some of our best friends!
Still obsessing over how perfectly styled my workshop with @jade.magnolia was!! Seriously need to edit through all of these, but it’s funny how personal projects always get pushed to the very end of my to do list! I’ve been workin non stop to get my clients photo galleries delivered before vacation time in 2 days!!
