Welcome to the world, Natalia!

Newborn Photos | McAllen, TX

Meeting sweet Natalia was the highlight of my day! I had the pleasure of meeting her mommy and daddy via one of our local doulas, Jessica Sargent. This sweet family of three came by to ensure we documented all of Natalia’s sweet newborn details.

Babies change so quickly and this sleepy stage will fade fast. I’m so glad I got to spend time with them. Here’s a sneak peek of our time together.

Natalia did so great! She wasn’t a big fan of changing her clothes (what newborn baby is, right?) but she would get past her outfit changes like a champ. Her parents are so in love with this little girl and I can’t blame them, she is such a sweet little one.

Welcome to the world, Natalia. I wish you so much joy as you take your journey through this world.

Pilot & Danika | Intimate & Sentimental Wedding

Intimate Wedding Edinburg, TX | Rancho Guadalupe Weddings

Pilot and Danika planned their intimate wedding in Edinburg, TX... and while prepping for their big day, they spent some time with a good friend of mine, Sofia. When Sofia thought about their wedding photos, she instantly thought they'd love to try the documentary photography approach. 

I am so glad our lives crossed paths! These two are beautiful souls and their story will forever stay with me. 

They chose a gorgeous venue in North Edinburg, Rancho Guadalupe. This beautiful little guest house sat next to a gorgeous lake and was perfect for their intimate outdoor celebration.

I am so excited to complete their gallery! I can't wait to show them more of the beautiful candid photographs of their special day. 

Congratulations Pilot and Danika! I wish you a lifetime of happiness and blessings!
