About Me

I'm a wife to Lee and mama to Eliana and Soraya! I'm a night owl by nature so staying up late is normal. Waking up early does not exist in my mind. I love loveee candy (skittles and snickers I could eat eternally). Tacos from the box, the ones you make at home, are my forever food. I care for tiny humans in the NICU as a night shift RN. I wish I were fluent in Spanish like my Mother's side - I'm practicing everyday. And I absolutely love taking pictures!


As long as I can remember, I would jokingly call myself a "photographer". I was always very particular of composition before I even knew that was a thing, and I was constantly taking scenic pictures as if it would be put into a magazine. I was gifted my first digital camera in middle school, and that's where my passion for taking pictures began. I purchased my first DSLR so I could take my own maternity photos (with my mom behind the camera, with my direction haha!), and I could edit them myself. I have always had a vision in my head when it came to my photos. Once my daughter was born, she became my subject. Those pictures I will be able to cherish forever! Now, I'm using my camera to capture other people, so they can forever have those memories frozen in time. This is something that I enjoy doing from beginning to end, and am so thankful for the opportunities thus far!

My Story!

Where it started

Lee and I met in middle school! We started our relationship in the 8th grade and have been together ever since


2009

I graduated!

I graduated college with my BSN and became an RN. Nursing school was one of the hardest and most anxiety ridden times of my life!
I started my first job as a night shift RN a few months later after passing the NCLEX (which was also the worst!)


2017

We're engaged!

After nine years together, graduating high school together, going to separate colleges freshman year but the same sophomore year, graduating college, and starting my career as a new nurse, I was getting to marry my best friend!


2018

A Lifelong Promise

We're married! We were surrounded by such love from our family and our sweet friends!


2019

Our Rainbow Baby

We miscarried with our first pregnancy very early. I didn't realize how sadly common losing a baby could be. Through our experience, we grieved and we grew closer together.

And then our prayers were answered with a healthy second pregnancy!


2020

Our greatest gift

We had no idea if we were having a boy or girl our whole pregnancy. We wanted it to be a surprise! Everyone around us told us we were insane, but it was the greatest gift to find out she was a girl!

My entire pregnancy, I expected a boy with confidence!


Sept 2020

My Little Familia

I feel so blessed everyday waking up to a sweet and fiery bebé, and a very loving and supportive husband. Even though a toddler is not for the weak, the sweet moments Eliana gives me when she feels like giving love (she's a daddy's girl), means the world!


2021

Here we go again!

We are going to have 2 kids, 2 and under!
We found out the gender this time!

We are so so excited, but then I also forget a lot of the times what is yet to come. Maybe it's a defense mechanism haha!


2022

A Girl!!!

We welcomed our second girl to our family! Eliana is so interested in her baby sister, Soraya, and is the best big sister. We are adjusting to being a family of four by taking one day at a time. We love them so much!!
