This year has been full of twists, turns, and those moments where “just surviving” felt like an accomplishment. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. So many of you have shared your own stories of growth, change, and keeping it all together, and it reminds me why taking a pause to be grateful is so important.

First, thank you. To my clients, friends, family, and followers, I could not do this without you. You make this job more than photography. Every session becomes a special moment, and your encouragement, cheers, and support have carried me through this year. Some of you I have known for over 17 years, others I met just this year, and each of you brings something inspiring to my journey.

A full-circle family portrait session in Palm Springs! 10 years after Ivette + Chris said “I do.” From wedding day memories to life as a family of three, this milestone session celebrates love that lasts.

I’m here to celebrate women, not just for women’s month but all day everyday! Women-owned businesses are making waves like never before, and I couldn’t be more here for it! Watching women build their dreams, break barriers, and change the game is nothing short of inspiring. Whether they’re launching passion projects, starting a business for the first time and stepping away from that corporate world, or running service-based businesses that transform lives, they are proving, over and over again, that success has no limits.

As 2024 comes to a close, I’m reflecting on the connections, stories, and wins that made this year what it was. Even in a year that had its challenges, there were so many moments worth celebrating.

I’m so excited for my friend Elsa and her opening of Composed Living! It’s been a dream of hers for sometime to open this space and have a place for others to gather. She is one of my favorite women in business and I’m so happy for her.
