Pretty in Pastels

     I couldn't be more happier for Kristina to welcome in her baby boy Nikolai in July! Last weekend was her baby shower and I had the honor of capturing her special time with friends and family. The venue was a garden courtyard with beautiful greenery, fountains and the weather perfect for an outdoor event. 
 Vidal, a close friend threw Kristina a beautiful baby shower with exquisite appetizers, a signature drink, lovely decor and memories I am sure Kristina will always cherish. 

 I absolutely love being at events like this, the atmosphere was fun, filled with love and laughter. 

 I always think its a good idea to have a photographer capture every moment of your special day, either a birthday party, bridal shower, anniversary... and so on. As you want to enjoy yourself, let someone have the task of capturing those memories for you! You will be glad you did! I always aim to tell the story for everyone that was not able to attend and hope that they felt the love from this day as I did. 

and of course Big Brother.

YOUR journey= Freedom

Life brings you stresses and joys...ups and downs...without positive or negative...there is life...the journey. 

 So stay true to who you are and want you really want.  If it is an occupational truth, sexual truth, or spiritual truth. Don't do it just because you were brought up that way...do it because its YOU! And do it with Love. You may not be them...and that is ok.  There is no one like YOU! Be you...be free. Be unapologetically YOU! You are the main character in your story, the best leading actor in your movie, NOT the supporting role. 

 This is Freedom unparalleled. The happiness you will feel from this truth has no price. 

This is Love. 

 You know your truth, deep down you know...so stay true. 

 Love, 

 Somer 

Here is one of my favorite quotes: 

Dear Human:
You’ve got it all wrong. You didn’t come here to master unconditional love. That is where you came from and where you’ll return. You came here to learn personal love. Universal love. Messy love. Sweaty love. Crazy love. Broken love. Whole love. Infused with divinity. Lived through the grace of stumbling. Demonstrated through the beauty of… messing up. Often. You didn’t come here to be perfect. You already are. You came here to be gorgeously human. Flawed and fabulous. And then to rise again into remembering. But unconditional love? Stop telling that story. Love, in truth, doesn’t need ANY other adjectives. It doesn’t require modifiers. It doesn’t require the condition of perfection. It only asks that you show up. And do your best. That you stay present and feel fully. That you shine and fly and laugh and cry and hurt and heal and fall and get back up and play and work and live and die as YOU. It’s enough. It’s Plenty.”

- Courtney A. Walsh.

Jordanian Wedding of a lifetime!

  I was absolutely thrilled to second shoot for a Jordanian Wedding. The dresses, the flawless makeup, singing,  and dancing all night long! It was fantastic full of laughter and love! It was such an honor to be apart of the celebration that lived up to their traditions. This was one bride that looked exactly like a princess! 

Well....I will just let the photos speak for themselves.
