Published again! 😁🎉🙌 ⠀
"Readings" is an excerpt from a larger work - a short nonfiction recollection of my mother reading me and my brother bedtime stories. It was there, I think, in those days, that my love and life's work with writing began.⠀
Thank you to @zpublishinghousepoetry for choosing my work to feature in their Anthology of Emerging Writers: An Anthology of Nonfiction! I am honored! 😊

Hands full, arms full, backpack loaded, sunglasses on... just another day in the life of a social media manager on set & behind the scenes! Thank you for this awesome shot, @NicoleGesmondiPhotoLLC !
There were moments she didn’t think she’d make it through.
The kind of moments that change you.
Break you down.
Make you question everything.
The nights where the weight felt too heavy.
The days where showing up took everything she had.
No one claps for that part.
No one sees it.
But that’s where she was built.
Piece by piece... she pulled herself out of it.
Not all at once. Not perfectly. But she kept going.
And that’s the difference.
This isn’t just strength.
This is survival.
This is choosing to rise when it would’ve been easier to stay down.
The phoenix doesn’t come back the same... it comes back changed.
And once you’ve fought your way out of the fire, you don’t fear it anymore.
You become it 🔥

Job Description: Content Creator + Human Floral Stabilizer. 🙋♀️
When the wind at Roger Williams Park tried to take out the ceremony decor, I had two choices: watch it fall or jump in.
So I spent M + Jake’s ceremony crouched behind this gorgeous @noriegafloraldesign piece, holding it steady with one hand while capturing @stacysmithstudiosri in action with the other.
Whether it’s getting the perfect angle or literally holding the wedding together, I’ve got your back. And apparently, I’m pretty good at covert operations, the bridal party never even saw me! 🕵️♀️
As a BTS Content Creator, I’m an independent contractor for hire to couples, venues, and fellow vendors. My goal is always the same: showcase the beauty of the day and jump in whenever (and however!) I’m needed to make the day a success.
Are you a vendor looking for someone who isn't afraid to get their hands dirty while getting it all on video? Let's chat! 💌
A modern barn, golden hour sunsets, and an incredible vendor team 🌅✨
Last night's open house at @thepreserveri was the perfect preview of what a wedding day could look like here, and we're all about it!
Shoutout to @lukesent for the evening's entertainment, @pranzicatering for the amazing food, @eedecor for all the pretty details, and @pranziflorals for the fresh blooms - everything was amazing!

From their striking first look at The Noble to a sunset celebration at the Roger Williams Park Casino, every moment M and Jake's wedding leaned into their love of greenery and deep tones to create a lush, atmospheric backdrop for their "I Do's."
Congratulations, M and Jake 🥂 wishing you a lifetime of happiness together!
Thanking this amazing team for pulling the entire look together 👏

Phase 2 of our new Mother's Day backdrop is complete! We spent the morning painting it that gorgeous blue "Indigo Cloth" you all helped us pick out, and we LOVE IT 😍
We also had a little side wall side project and a frame we spray painted outside on this beautiful day 🌞
Next step: Dressing up that frame with bunches of pretty florals. Who’s ready to see the final look? 🙋♀️

Phase 1 of our new Mother's Day backdrop is complete! We wanted something unique, so we spent the day applying texture to the wall. We’ve never done this before, but honestly? We might be pros now. 😉
The way the light hits these ridges is going to be a dream for portraits!
Next step: Painting it that gorgeous Indigo blue you all picked. Who’s ready to see the final look? 🙋♀️

What better way to celebrate Valentine's than with a surprise proposal at one of Rhode Island’s most iconic spots?
When Chris reached out to me a few weeks ago to plan his proposal to Rachel, he was a little nervous about a winter photoshoot. I promised him that the crisp February air and the stunning coastal backdrop would be absolutely magical, and we lucked out with the perfect conditions: cold enough to feel like a winter wonderland, but with no wind and a beautiful, soft sky.
To keep the surprise under wraps, Paul and I arrived early to get in "position" for Chris to lead Rachel to our predetermined spot. The anticipation was real, but the moment he dropped to one knee? Pure magic!
Congratulations, Chris and Rachel! You were absolutely beaming the entire time! Your joy was infectious, and it was such an honor to capture your first engaged moments. Thank you so much for trusting us to capture this unforgettable chapter of your love story.
Are you planning a 2026 proposal? Whether it’s a snowy lighthouse or a summer sunset, I’d love to help you plan the perfect surprise! DM me "PROPOSAL" to get started.
