A Journey of Growth and Gratitude

As 2024 comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on one of the most transformative years of my life. This past year has not only been a milestone in my personal journey as a new mom, but it has also deepened the way I experience and capture the world around me. As a luxury wedding photographer, I’ve always prided myself on capturing meaningful, intimate moments. But now, as I look back over the year, I can’t help but notice how becoming a parent has profoundly shifted my perspective—turning everyday moments into something even more significant.

For those who’ve followed my journey, you may have noticed that this year, I’ve been more emotional at weddings, more present in the moments I capture. Whether it’s during a heartfelt toast or a couple’s first dance, I can’t help but be moved by the raw, beautiful emotion that fills the air. I guess that’s what parenthood does to you—it opens up your heart in ways you never imagined.

In this season of reflecting back, I’ve taken time to journal and dream about where I want 2025 to take me. As much as I’ve been chasing my dreams, I’ve been learning to embrace the beauty of every little milestone along the way—because now, more than ever, I know how precious those moments truly are.

A Heartfelt Thank You to My Support System

Behind every successful wedding photographer, there’s a team of incredible people who make it all possible. First and foremost, to my amazing husband Nate—who is somehow the world’s best dad, “Baba” to Raphi, the force behind the best gym in town (Basis Health & Performance), and the ever-patient sounding board for all my business dreams—thank you. You are my rock, my steady anchor, and the best partner I could ask for in both life and business.

I also want to take a moment to thank my dear friend Morgan of Balance Creative Agency, whose wisdom and guidance have not only helped me grow as a person but also as a business owner. Morgan’s support has been invaluable as I’ve built a business that’s stronger than ever, and I’m incredibly grateful for her mentorship.

To my incredible second shooters Nadia, Rio, and Natalia—you all bring such immense talent and passion to every wedding we capture together. Your professionalism and artistry help create an unparalleled experience for my couples, and for that, I’m forever grateful.

And finally, to Zikri—my brilliant Tia, friend, assistant, and content creator—you’ve been the glue that holds everything together. From helping me execute flawless shoots to creating content that elevates my brand, your support has been a game changer for me. Thank you for making everything run smoothly behind the scenes.

Looking Ahead to 2025

As I finish reflecting on the year behind us and begin to look ahead to the new year, I’m filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation for what’s to come. 2025 holds so much promise, and I’m eager to continue capturing love stories in ways that feel authentic, heartfelt, and timeless. I’m thrilled to see where this journey takes me, both as a mother and as a photographer.

To my couples, past, present, and future—you are the reason I do what I do. Your moments, your love, your stories—they inspire me every single day. I can’t wait to see the magic that 2025 brings, and I look forward to capturing the moments that will take your breath away.

Here’s to a year of growth, gratitude, and the new beginnings that await us all.
