And as we were on our way to city hall, the train doors opened. I ran ahead of them and told them “okay now!” Already prepped with directions on how to walk, I pointed my flash slightly toward them, and got 2 shots. This was shot 2/2. A little bit of luck, an eye for framing and exposure, plus a lil grain to the edit 😌 The quickest, yet most satisfying shot of the day 🥂 🤎🤎🤎 #cityhallwedding #nycengagementphotographer #couplesphotographer #nyweddingphotographer #blackwomenphotographers

But the truth is not everyone is ready for a full brand shoot yet, and that’s okay. I’d rather you not waste your time and money forcing it. Before you book a photographer, hair + makeup, all of that stuff, ask yourself this: Have I actually figured out my brand’s voice? Like if someone asked “what’s your vibe?” could you answer clearly? If not… then maybe start with headshots. What’s my brand story? Like the real raw story. What parts of your life actually shape what you do? If you’re unsure again, headshots. Do I have a clear identity yet? Logo, colors, fonts, all of that matters more than you think when it comes to styling and visuals. Headshots get you started as a professional. Brand shoots expand you as a business. If you’re not sure where you fall, DM me. I’ll tell you exactly what you need and help you decide next steps :) 🤎🤎🤎 #brandphotographer #nycbrandphotographer #womenenterpreneur #contentday #personalbrandphotographer

Some favorite moments from weddings and elopements I’ve photographed over the last few years. Still soooooo grateful I get to do this work 🥹 Going into another year of my business is crazy😆 There are 4 wedding dates available for 2026, with more availability for elopements and intimate days (city hall, Central Park, etc.) Pricing WILL be increasing in the new year, and deposits secure your date :) If something intentional and true to you is what you’re planning, my inbox is always open. 🤎🤎🤎 #nycweddingphotographer #nyweddingphotographer #nycelopementphotographer #cityhallwedding #nycengagementphotographer

My first mommy’s day 💗 This time last year I found out I was pregnant, and wow was that the longest and most challenging journey… but I look back and it feels like it went by sooo fast. We went to the same place we had our gender reveal and it felt so complete. All I can say is this little one has created a love in my heart that I did not think was possible. And the mom title is def badass. I am becoming HER. 😎 🤎🤎🤎

I was just telling one of my friends how this time last year I was working in Chicago & teaching a content workshop. Now I have a whole human who depends on me. My life and identity changed in just one year 😆 But honestly things can change in a matter of just months. . I mean and nowadays one email can change the trajectory of your business. It is nottttt easy balancing motherhood with my business, my fitness, trying to look my best everyday, and food lol But we’re doing it 👏🏽 🤎🤎🤎 #firsttimemommy #mompreneur #dayinthelife #entrepreneurship 🤎🤎🤎

Some things I’ve noticed about personal brand images and content in general: Your “About” page photo is usually the most viewed image on your entire website. What are your thoughts when you view someone’s “about me” photo? Says a lot right 😆 • The same 5–10 images end up doing most of the work. Website, press features, speaker bios, etc. This is why you don’t need 100s of photos for a personal brand shoot. You just need a solid handful. Quality over quantity. • Visuals USUALLY set the tone first. If your website looks like amateur work, people are going to assume you’re exactly that. • Most founders are camera shy. But a little planning and directon goes a longggg way. Which is where I come in. The point is to clarify who you are and what you represent. However you do it, look like the professional you claim to be 👌🏾 Shoutout to my client for knowing exactly what she wanted (and didn’t want) yet also leaving room for the trial, errors, and laughs of it all 🤗 🤎🤎🤎 #personalbranding #nycphotographer #brandphotographer #blackwomenphotographers #personalbrandingtips
