I rarely speak about myself this way, but today, more than anything, I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude.
I want to take a moment to say how proud I am of myself. 🤍

NIA DYNASTY IS IN VOGUE MAGAZINE!
I started my life from scratch, far away from my family, on my own, in a place where I had to rebuild everything and find my way. Three years later, the vision I had for my life has grown into something I once could only dream of. I have changed. My life has changed. And along the way, the work I poured my heart into has started receiving recognition I will never take for granted.

This project was so much more than a photoshoot. It was a vision, a story, and a new chapter in my journey to redefine the bridal beauty experience. Every person who stood beside me helped bring that vision to life, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible team that made it possible.

For this special appreciation dinner, I want to give a heartfelt thank you to @limanidesigns for the breathtaking decor. Somehow, every time we work together, you leave me speechless. 🥹

To @ldeventsdecor , thank you for the beautiful draping that completed the entire atmosphere so perfectly.

And a huge thank you to @monro.photography for always impressing me with your incredible work! 🥹

And to my husband, who built this stand just three hours before the event. 🤣 jokes aside.. Behind so many of my dreams is someone who never lets me stop believing in them. 🤍

This chapter will always be special. Not only because of where my work has been published, but because of the people who helped me bring the vision to life…

NIA DYNASTY

A special moment for our team.

We had the pleasure of photographing this campaign for @niadynasty’s advertisement in Vogue, and the issue is finally out.

Seeing our work in the pages of Vogue is something we’re truly proud of.

What makes this project even more special is the incredible team behind it. Every detail, from the creative direction and styling to the beauty, design, and production, came together through the talent, passion, and dedication of so many wonderful creatives.

We’re grateful to have been part of this collaboration and to share the final result with everyone who helped bring this vision to life.

Three scoops of fun because our boy turned THREE 🍦!!! Pierce my sweet love, you are unapologetically yourself and I love you for that. You are strong willed, absolutely hilarious, and so very sweet and welcoming to everyone. You embrace this crazy little thing called life, and you do it with open arms and a whole lot of love.

Three years ago I received the best gift and I’ll never stop loving you my boy! 🍦❤️

Shot the most beautiful 10-year vow renewal for Amanda and Andrew on Saturday. Pasting part of Amanda’s caption below because I couldn’t say it any better than her!

“When Andrew and I thought about our 10 year anniversary, we knew we wanted to renew our vows and celebrate everything this decade has held and who we’ve become along the way. Grief, loss, three little kids, some of our hardest days, our very best ones, and so many amazing memories in between.

But we knew we didn’t want a second wedding. Instead, we wanted a night that took us back to where it all began and reminded us of the two people who chose each other all those years ago. So we left the kids and family at home, gathered only our closest friends, shared our vows, had dinner by candlelight and danced the night away like it was 2012.“

an honor to capture this night & their love!

Living on the Veg - A Week in Review 🌱

Sharing about all the fun things I’ve been up to, no matter where in the world I am. 🌎

Covering the last two weeks, here are some fun things I’ve discovered around Chicago…

#chicagolocal #chicagolife #vegetarianfood #choosechicago #chicagobucketlist

The beautiful new Greek inspired cafe @eatprasino in the Loop. Loved the vibes 🇬🇷

Tried a delicious lunch at @eatprasino with a spicy feta dip, falafel wrap and Greek salad with falafel. Also enjoyed a strawberry matcha and pineapple passionfruit refresher. 👍🏼

Forgot how much I love @parkandfield in Logan Square. Great indoor and outdoor space for a fun outing.

@parkandfield patio is perfect on a beautiful day and there are outdoor fire pits as well for when it gets cooler.

Congrats to my beautiful Friend Peggy and her now husband Tom on their amazing and incredible wedding. Was my first Greek wedding and I had a blast! 🇬🇷 @hallwaysrunways

Never not longingly staring in to the snacks case at @patelbrothers 🤣🙈

The stunning @thealbertchicago bar at @hotelemc2 in Streeterville, love the vibes!

Enjoyed some delicious cheeses and snacks at the summer party of @thealbertchicago 🧀🍷

One of the most beautiful tablescapes at the launch party of @localeclecticflagship in Streeterville. Just gorgeous! 🥰

And the details in this store, just WOW🤩🩰

@localeclecticflagship is a jewelry store with lots of fun pieces, def check it out!

Popped by @swadesicafe and tried the salted jaggery cafe and a paneer bhurji puff. Both were on point. 🤗

Finally made it to @gathersteabar and LOVED my strawberry matcha, dare I say the best one ever?! Yes, this is worth going out of your way for! 🍓🍵

Beautiful morning on the Mag Mile 😍

Riverwalk by night

Beautiful homes in Logan Square

Love finding murals around the city

Beautiful day in Chicago! Thanks for following along!! 🥰
