{ Today is Koko’s 6th birthday. }
Today i also photographed a family law attorney.

these two things are connected.

she found me on google. then looked me up on instagram. saw the chihuahua and decided i was trustworthy. her dog was also named Coco. She booked me, no questions.

5 lbs. zero credentials. perfect close rate. Happy birthday to my most effective employee.

${ three year engagement } We’ve gotten a lot of “wait, aren’t you already married?” and the honest answer is: it’s complicated. In 2023 we rushed our engagement and planned a whole at-home wedding because my dad was nearing the end of his life. He passed a month before. With plans already in place and grief very much present, we renamed it an engagement party and let ourselves just be in it. We had a venue booked for 2024, but the timing didn’t feel right, a lot of family couldn’t make it, so we turned it into an immediate family + joint bach weekend at a 40 person cabin, which was actually really fun and maybe exactly what we needed. and then we paused. Not on us. on the wedding. because we wanted to do the internal work first.. to show up as our best selves before making that commitment in front of people. For 18 months we worked really hard. Daniel lost 60 lbs. i lost about 15. We untangled our relationship from our business, which had been one long hustle from the beginning. We had to figure out who we were when we weren’t building something together. Turns out we still really like each other. 😉 Because what’s the dream home and the dream studio if love isn’t the biggest thing living inside it. When the day finally came it felt obvious. Courthouse ceremony with immediate family - small intimate reception at our house right after with childhood friends, besties and close neighbors. The least stressful thing we’ve ever put together, which says a lot. It felt like us. Finally, just us. This is how I want to remember it. 📸 @ashgphoto @severus_snapshot 💄 @leveluplana @laura_oliver_dallas 🌹 @ashgongora 🎈 @partygeenius 🎶 @fakeinternetpersona$
