"To be with you is easy I know you're good for me This feeling inside me Oh it sends me sky high
You're good for me my baby So good for me my love You're good for me my baby So good for me oh love"
giving birth is one of those miracles that will never cease to amaze me. it is one of the most beautiful things that i have ever witnessed and i am so privileged to have been able to witness the birth of this beautiful baby girl.
i was laying down in bed one sunday morning when my phone went off, i answered it and corey told me tiffany had been admitted to the hospital and they were getting ready for baby zoe's arrival. i jumped out of bed, got dressed, grabbed a cup of joe and went to the hospital. i knew it was going to be a fast-paced sort of thing so i was mentally preparing myself. originally corey told me it was probably going to be a while but then i got a call about 30 minutes later saying its going to be sooner rather than later. as soon as i got the hospital, tiffany was ready to go and i got my stuff ready and started shooting. it was so surreal to be photographing a birth, granted i've been in the room when babies have been born but not ever photographing. tiffany is a trooper, this is her second baby about 12 years apart and she went into labor no drugs, no epidural, nothing. all i have to say is she rocks! it was such an emotional couple of hours but it was beautiful. once zoe was born it was bliss from then. everyone was in tears. corey couldn't stop admiring his baby girl, tiffany was smiling from ear to ear, jasmine was taking it all in and grandparents were full of joy.
tiffany & corey, i am so happy you chose me to capture the birth of your sweet baby girl. i can't wait to watch her grow up and see how beautiful she becomes. love you guys! her newborns will appear in the next couple weeks on the blog so be sure to be on the lookout.
please welcome baby zoe!!!! xxx
These guys are the loves of my life, no doubt about it. Their family has been apart of my family for what seems like forever. I've watched the kiddos grow up and to see what amazing young ladies and gentleman they have become just amazes me. I love them to pieces! My sister from another mister & her 3 rascals.
sweetest baby boy that you ever did see <3
beautiful, beautiful bride.
i just loveeee her smile :)

i couldn't have asked for a more perfect day to photograph two beautiful mother/son duo. every shot was magical.
over the summer, i received a call from pablo asking if i could do photos of him and at the time girlfriend edith. of course i said yes. when i called to confirm all of the details and asked if there was anything specific that i needed to be aware of during the shoot, he said, "yes, im proposing at the end of the night." i literally jumped for joy! who wouldn't want to photograph a surprise engagement! when we met up for their session, i had to keep my cool and act as if nothing was going to happen. its a good thing im a good secret keeper! ;)
as the sun started to set, we made our way to the restaurant that pablo wanted to propose at but the lighting was horrible and the bartender was not wanting to help us out. i stepped outside of the restaurant and looked at the various restaurants we had available and decided to try batanga. just from a first glance, i knew this was the restaurant. i asked them to wait outside while i talked to the owner. i explained to the owner the situation and they said of course! whatever you need! extremely pleased, i said outside would be best, under the umbrellas and a bottle of wine please. without hesitation they seated the couple and i started doing what i do best. i gave pablo the signal that whenever he was ready to go ahead, he got down on one knee, shocked edith and she screamed yes!
oh this sweet boy, i love him to pieces!!! i want to thank all of my beautiful friends for getting married, having babies & letting me take pictures of them! how could you not love your job when you have sweet babies such as kinaan to work with!
More teasers for you from the Three Nails Workshop. Full post coming soon! Stay tuned!
"They're the 4 best friends any could ever have..."
Two weeks ago today, I was wrapping up the last day of the Three Nails Photography workshop. I can't put into words how amazing the experience was and how invigorating it was to learn from so many talented people, especially Hunter. Hunter is one of my biggest inspirations and I LOVE his work, being able to learn from him was truly amazing. I met so many talented photographers at this workshop and we all instantly clicked which was wonderful! I hope I get to work with them all again during my journey as a photographer, until then Im going to work my butt off fulfilling my dream and ever lasting desire to be a world class photographer.
Here are some sneak peeks at the various shoots that we did.

Best Man & Maid of honor from the wedding portion:
This workshop would not have happened without: Hunter Leone of Three Nails Photography with his creative vision & direction. Makeup artist, Meka with Meka with Motives without her talented hands everyone would look plain & blah. Kirstie Kelly Collections for the amazing wedding dresses. Untamed Petals for their gorgeous headpieces. Pursing Eden for the set design and props that adorned our table. Rampage Farms in Hooks, TX, for hosting & allowing us to use their stunning property.
I absolutely ADORE these two!!! Baby Lucy is going to have some amazing parents!
