Autumn Colorful LAKE HOUSE wedding - Lake House Hotel, San Marcos

A question I’ve been getting asked A LOT lately is if I still do photography.

The answer, YES.

I am still documenting my favorite souls alongside my Courage Coaching and The Living Courageously Podcast!

You definitely do not see as much in this space as I am so insanely passionate about sharing all that unravels through living courageously!

You see, truth is, photography is embedded in my soul.

For as long as I can remember, 13 years professionally, for my whole life as a hobby, photography has been my vessel, my way of being in exchange and communicating that which I am inspired by within this world.

Truth is, it was far easier to hind behind other people and my photography than it was to put myself out there and follow my calling.

So here we are, in this incredible harmony where I have grown, my business has grown, my way of being in community, in exchange, in connection with you and the universe has grown.

I am at the latter part, although I am INSANELY HONORED to document the most inspirational souls, I am courageously putting myself out there, in ways I never had the confidence, courage, trust to do so.

Courage coaching and photography coexist.

Behind it all, my immense dedication to seeing a person through the most pure, positive, real kinda way.

Where this very reality creates this space, connection, exchange for us to truly see, hear and honor each of us.
As we are.
Where we are.
Who we are.

This reality, damn is it so beautifully supportive. So dynamically, sincere.

Behind my ways of being in exchange, lies the same foundation — that of my values and the why behind what I do. 

⛰️My values — honesty, presence, sincerity, quality time, acknowledging, honoring, holding dear, expressing gratitude and love, compassion, being kind.

⛰️My why — I have been blessed to live a life far beyond my dreams and I am committed, every single day to supporting others in realizing their dreams.

These right here are reflections from my 2nd to last wedding of this season! Two souls who I had the honor of reconnected with, the absolute joy of getting to be witness to their love and something so dear to my heart- them seeing me fully, completely as me.
