Gardner Family- Pensacola

Lydia is one of my friends from college. She was the friend who was always on top of her stuff, and helped keep me on track… especially during our math classes. She has been married to Cordaro for 11 years. 11 YEARS!!! I can’t even tell you what I was doing 11 years ago, yet this family has been living life and making memories. Thank you for loving me, for trusting me, and for being my friend!

PS- “Trouble” is my new BFF 😉

Happy 50th Birthday Robert!

Last weekend I had so much fun celebrating the life of a King! Robert walked into his 50th birthday party surrounded by so much love by people from near and far. All executed flawlessly by his beautiful wife Michelle. Y’all, they had 4 DJs, 2 cakes, a cupcake tower, a candy bar, shot glass party favors, a full bar with AAAALLLLLLL the liquor (I stayed with water, lol), and did I mention the AHHHH-MA-ZING food? Rob, I hear you’re a chef, and your homie was responsible for the meal. Can I get the recipe for that Mac & Cheese though? LOL.

We (yes we) danced, there was laughter, there was fun. I am so thrilled I got to be a part of such an amazing event. It was truly an honor!

Stacy | Empowerment Branding

Branding sessions are some of my faves for a few reasons. The first, we get to walk around and chat about everything! Another reason I love them is because I get to witness other bad ass boss babes doing their THANG!

This is Stacy, she’s a Realtor in Atlanta, and an amazing human. For this session she met me at my studio in Marietta Square, got her makeup done by the amazing Renee. then we talked and giggled as we gallivanted through the square trying to avoid any holiday decorations… HAHA!

Thanks for all you do Stacy!

It’s all in the Tribe ✨

It’s no secret that I have THEE best tribe ever. Listen, I’m almost 32, and if it’s one thing the last few years have taught me it’s that surrounding yourself with people who are down for you 100% is important. When we are together, we laugh, we twerk, we love each other!  I love these women. There has never been more amazing people in my life that I can be completely authentic with.  They are my biggest support system, and my extra brains when I need them to be. They are self-less, and always willing to help no matter what I ask.

I’m thankful!

Candace | Empowerment Boudoir | BASK

Last year, I made the promise to myself that I would explore my creativity without limits. Being an Empowerment Photographer has become so much more that pretty pictures; it has been a life changing experience that has allowed me to bring creativity and thoughts to life. We are 6 weeks into 2019, and the party is just getting started.

During this Empowerment Boudoir session, Candace embraced her inner sex goddess. With props that ranged from handcuffs to masks, I really had no expectations for the items that accompanied her to this bad ass sesh.

Here’s to celebrating all things sensual.

BASK | A sensual study of the feminine.
