One of my aunties in the Philippines found this photo of my mom @darling_lola - the youngest photo I've ever seen of her and actually only the second photo I've seen of her as a child.
What a privilege in our modern era that we are able to have so many baby photos, but this is why it's so important to print them too!
It's a phone photo of a photo, but I was able to restore and upsize it for reprinting. Thanks Topaz Labs and Luminar Neo for helping me make quick work of this!
Wanted to get a sneak peek of some portraits and their first look out before we head out for vacation. @erinjackal and @earljuic3 had such a perfect wedding day. They've been planning it for over 2 years and centered their timeline around making sure we did portraits at sunset, which was much appreciated and definitely paid off. Everyone and everything was so gorgeous and the Mill at Fine Creek had so many beautiful backgrounds 🌲🏞️

What a joy to photograph headshots for the stunning @mariedelwest_ , owner of @erasurelaserstudio . We've been friends for [redacted] years and it's always fun to catch up on life and commiserate on having young feral kids at our age lol.
Location: Virginia Beach @thestudiohr
Tonioooo 🎶 Happy birthday to the baby boy @sonictonebone_insta . 20 years ago, I was the first person (other than your parents) to hear your deep cry as you entered this world! Enjoy these photos where you coincidentally get balder as you scroll through lol. 💙💙💙

Grateful for perfect weather and the happiest, sweetest couple ever! Honored that Mendell and I were able to document this. ♥️♥️♥️
A slightly belated but happy birthday to my lil sis, all the kids' fave rich auntie, and the person I've photographed the most (other than my kids) @rinaparrillagarcia ♥️♥️♥️ I remember so little of our childhood, but I definitely remember the day you came home! Cheers to more adventures, late night yapping, old ass references, and very necessary harmonies 🎶 Too too!
Most photos taken at @thestudiohr of course 📷
@erinjackal being absolute perfection for her headshot session, as always! Hit her up for your financial planning needs and hit me up if you want to escape the heat in one of the two studios 📷

It is difficult to act normal and carry on in the face of ::gestures wildly to everything:: but we must make space for joy and for hope, which is abundant in all the lovely seniors I've encountered. Congrats to Adri and the class of 2025, may you make this world a better place for all ♥️
