“It’s true. We were both a little broken and it was as if we needed one another to keep our pieces safe or to put each other back together. Either way, we needed each other in the most human way.” - N. R. Hart
The sentiment we define as “love” is being tangled up in someone else’s pieces and wanting nothing more than to stay. We have all hit road-blocks and met people we wish had not left such a large footprint. By the same token, we have all met people that made us smile so hard our faces ached, that reminded us that weekends were made for fireplaces, books, cooking breakfast in your underwear, midday coffee, and getting knocked irrevocably off-course in an adventure. There will be people that come and people that go, but there will also be people that will be exactly what you need them to be; these people will become your world, your “family,” and you will stumble upon them when you least expect it. Their existence will make you believe in magic and being in love will look best on you when life is at its worst.
It often seems that we cannot see the most beautiful things in life without seeing the flaws - the faults, the cracks and strains from weathering the storms. Life is not always kind to our bodies and when we glance in the mirror, we tend to focus on the negatives of our reflections, rather than the positive. Boudoir photography is used in many facets of professions to boost self-confidence and create a better sense of self-awareness. It’s not my job to show you your reflection : you can see that on your own, any given day of the week. We rarely get to view ourselves as others see us, for exactly who & what we are, without judgement. My dear, you are worth so much more than the doubts that fill the empty spaces of your mind! My job is not to photo-shop you perfect or resurrect your figure from a decade before; my job is to help you become one with yourself and feel beautiful in the skin you are in. I offer the opportunity to come face to face with your fears and confront your preconceived notions of beauty and aesthetics. I offer you the chance to choose the angles most flattering to the parts you wish you could change and instead, love each and every bit.
Family very well may be the most important bond that you will have in your lifetime. They stand with you through thick and thin and is more valuable than your career and work or even your most dear possessions. Family is generally defined as those one can always fall back upon during difficult times, making family probably the most important institution in this world. Whether your loved ones are blood ties or chosen family, family comes first – everything else is secondary.

The plot thickens . . .
In the tapestry of life, the threads of joy are woven through moments of togetherness and celebration. Capturing the essence of holidays and special occasions like family reunions, friendship gatherings, anniversary celebrations, and milestone events is akin to preserving fragments of our shared history. From the first jingle of a baby's first Christmas to the warmth of a housewarming party for a new home, each snapshot becomes a cherished chapter in the book of our lives. Photographs not only freeze fleeting moments but serve as timeless portals, transporting us back to the laughter, tears, and triumphs that define our journeys. They are visual testaments to the bonds that tie us, the growth we celebrate, and the resilience that propels us forward. So, as we navigate the seasons of life, let us embrace the art of capturing these irreplaceable moments—a kaleidoscope of memories that shimmer with the magic of shared love, milestones, and the beauty of the human experience.
"Scream so that one day a hundred years from now another sister will not have to dry her tears wondering where in history she lost her voice." - Jasmin Kaur
It’s by time we stand beside our fellow females & make our voices heard. Let’s talk to lady mechanics and engineers, electricians and politicians, women of color and women breaking the standards. We can grow beyond the glass ceiling if we stop limiting our form and function. Let’s talk about repression and how it spurs regression; let’s fight those feelings and make some noise a little louder for those in the back. Raise your hand if you want someone to tell your story. Let’s make the whole world take notice.
Remember : Her win does not mean 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓵𝓸𝓼𝓮. Just clap for her. You aren't even in the same race. Empower her until the whole world screams her name.
“We worry about what a child will be become tomorrow, yet we forget that they are someone today.” - Stacia Tauscher
Photographing our children as they age is a poignant act of freezing time, a visual narrative that transcends the fleeting nature of childhood. In the subtle curve of a smile or the sparkle in their eyes lies a treasure trove of memories waiting to be preserved.

"May the flowers remind us why the rain was so necessary." - Xan Oku
As a photojournalist, philanthropist, & a professional at being human, I believe in being 100% completely yourself. I believe that everyone you come into contact with should be moved so much by your authentic energy that they feel safe enough to be completely themselves in return. This is the true definition of being a part of the human race. Tell me about your good days, your bad days, and all the seemingly insignificant details of the mundane and indifferent. Tell me about the most important thing you have done this year, even if that was simply survive. Let’s build each other up; let’s put insecurities to sleep. Let’s remind one another that we’re worthy; let me show you your magic. Together, let’s be love and light.

You can probably point to Texas on a map without a problem. You probably know its cuisine is based predominantly on Tex-Mex and bar-b-que. You probably know that Austin is the state capital and hub for arts and live music. But, did you know that Texas has an official state dinosaur and a massive suspension bridge? The state is actually a goldmine for paleontological finds and historic bridges. We have a few other particular quirks, like our own dialect of German spoken in Boerne and New Braunfels, the United States’ fastest highway and toll roads, and the only town on Earth named… Earth. There’s a city or municipality named almost every word you can think of like Flower Mound and you can even visit Paris! We’ve been called the number one state to visit and the friendliest state in North America. Texas’ name was given by the Spanish pronunciation “Tejas,” the Hasinai Indian word meaning allies or friends. In fact, the state motto is friendship. So, why don’t we do this right and start with a handshake and a nice tall glass of sweet iced tea. Welcome to Texas & remember that you’ve always got a friend in me!
There are things we want the world to hear, whether we shout them from mountain tops or whisper them in lullabies, write them in letters, so full of love, or sink them to the bottom of whatever nameless ocean-space. There are things someone somewhere need to see & feel. There are impacts so great that we may never have intended to make, staining another's mindset with our own beautiful brand of ink, tattooing our thoughtfulness or insight on the souls we encounter. May this be our time and theirs; may these images and words be with you.
Fondly,
On the other side of the Camera
