    Personal Photography | Wanderlust : Bucket List Adventures in Costa Rica

    May 7, 2018

    I made a lofty goal last year!! I was ready to *finally* develop a workflow to edit, share, and backup my personal photographs in a more efficient manner, similar to how I process client work. Often, I shoot like crazy and then just let the files pile up (please tell me I’m not the…

For 20 years now, you’ve invited me into your home
For 20 years now, you’ve invited me into your homes, your celebrations, your most intimate moments... I’ve joyfully built an entire business around documenting your love. Through this, I’ve been a part of every kind of family. I’ve seen the undeniable & downright wonderful human connections that tie us all together. It’s the best part of my job 📸

Maybe you’ve been my client, or maybe we’ve never even met, but we’re connected. Your heart beats like mine, & chances are, it’s breaking like mine right now too.

Every Family is a Family. 

Every Mother is a Mother to all... 

And I can promise : This is not the America I will leave behind for my children, or yours.

I stand in solidarity with everyone who is terrified, overwhelmed or lost right now. I stand with everyone who knows we deserve better. I stand with the businesses that are closing today for the strike & with the small businesses that are staying open, providing shared spaces & keeping their lights on, but still speaking out. Proud of you ♥️

👉🏻 Haven’t said a word yet? Not sure how to start? 

I’ve included some posts here to share, ranging from gentle to how-I-really-feel... Share what resonates today. Expand on that tomorrow. Tag & follow the creators.

Take action, love your neighbors & celebrate our undeniable human connections. We are one; don’t ever let the system trick you into thinking otherwise.

Community over cruelty, always ✌🏻✌🏼✌🏽✌🏾✌🏿 

With lots of love & lots of rage, 
e
