Nura Magazine shoot

I had a beautiful time working with Miss DC Intercontinental for the cover of unreleased NURA Magazine. Yashvi was my first Indian woman I have ever worked with and I am in love! Her skin was like better not to mention the rich hues of her skin were a golden brown. She had the prettiest features l, including her captivating almond shaped eyes. For the shoot we went with very natural skin and a some what dramatic eye and voluminous lashes. 


My view for the day: 


       


A Beautiful Spring Wedding

I loved working with this beautiful bride and her gorgeous bridal party. 

They may look like photographs, but they are moments. Moments that will last forever, and in these moments she is the only person in the room who matters.

Engagement photos: Megan & Ronnie



I had the pleasure of glamming and beautiful bride to be for her engagement photos! The photographer did an awesome job!!
