When you see this post, let it be the proof you needed: It IS possible. 😮‍💨🙏🏾⛰️

Starting out 12 years ago, I dreamed of things like this. I was small island girl in an even smaller town with dreams the size of the whole globe.

Not much about that has changed, except the fact that the dreams are now becoming experiences. I cried real tears when I got this news because it represents so much more than a cover:

This is what happens when life (and mommyhood) throws you curves, but you push through and do it anyways. 🥵 #grit

This is what happens when you connect with people whose vision you share and how everything falls together afterwards. 🫱🏽‍🫲🏼#teamwork

This is the proof that time and opportunity happen to every one of us. 🕰️ #timing

This is the satisfaction of knowing that nothing I dream is actually out of reach. 🙏🏾#possibilty

Thank you Harper’s Bazaar! 🙏🏾 It is an honor to see my work grace the cover of @harpersbazaarserbia , and an even greater honor to have done it with a stellar team of creatives right here at home in the Bahamas.

I am grateful.

Going to go finish crying in the pantry. K bye 😭

Remembering that time My work got featured on @buzzfeed 😅. Makeup has truly taken me on a wild ride of the last 11 years.

#throwback When you rise and shine and find out your work had been featured on @buzzfeed months ago. How cool is that? And like, where was I ?! 😩🤣 This year has held some painful lows, and some amazing highs for me. Setbacks, comebacks and growing pains. The only constant has been God, and His extraordinary grace. The beauty of it? That’s been more than enough. 💜

The most memorable swimwear campaigns don’t just showcase a collection, they transport you somewhere 🏝️

Based in The Bahamas, I work with fashion, swimwear, and resort brands to create polished editorial and advertising imagery, combining international production standards with local expertise to bring campaigns to life. ✨

Captured in The Bahamas, the new campaign with @aliceandolivia 📸🩵 Vibrant color, lush tropical gardens, glowing natural light, and the kind of effortless beauty that makes island productions feel truly special 🏝️

Living and shooting full-time in The Bahamas means knowing how to bring together beautiful locations, experienced local production, and a relaxed creative atmosphere that helps campaigns come to life naturally on camera. 🎥✨

The islands offer so much more than beaches, from hidden gardens and historical architecture to crystal water, and private cays, all within easy reach for fashion and resort productions. ☀️🇧🇸
