Kristina & Devin | Maternity Photography

Relaunching has been my dream for the past years. My friend Kristina was able to help me reach this goal when her and her fiancé, Devin agreed to a maternity photoshoot.

This couple prepared long and hard for their baby girl’s arrival and brought some things on the shoot to show how much they love her - tiny dresses and shoes. Kristina is an amazing young lady and pushed through the mid afternoon summer heat and styled out dresses and shoes to match - her meticulousness was only matched by Devin’s sharp personality and patient persona.

They are absolutely adorable together and no doubt excited but nervous for their baby girl to arrive. We tried to do as many shots as we can in their neighborhood park to capture these feelings during the 40 minutes session.

Kristina posed like a superstar and Devin charmed the camera - I was taken aback by how comfortable they made me feel and how relaxed they were. Even though the shoot was on the shorter side, I tried to capture as many photos as possible for this pair to look back on later.

They did excellent in the photoshoot and I am excited to meet the baby girl soon and help photograph her moments and memories as these two grow from a couple into a family. <3

Family Photography

This sweet mom and her baby girls had their grandparents visiting them, and of course wanted to take some photos to remember the whole family by! Photos with children need to be a consistent process because kids grow SO fast :). It has only been a few months but these adorable little girls are so much bigger now and I can't wait to photograph them again!

Makeup by Judy Viado Palaganas | Makeup Photography

I met Judy through a mutual friend at the very, very, very beginning of my photography career (it wasn't that long ago but it sure feels like it!). She was into makeup and I was into photography- it only seemed natural for me to take photos of her makeup! I'm very thankful to have met such an inspiring, young, and talented makeup artist and I love seeing her work grow. You can check out more of her work  here, but meanwhile, here's a few photos from the two collaborations we did back in December :).
