At some point, you and your teammates played together for the last time and nobody deeply realized it.. until you do 🥹⚾️ When you give a boy a baseball, you give him more than just a ball. You give him a sport, hope, dreams, friends, family, a place to learn about life, and space to grow as a person. You give him a place where he can push his limits in a safe environment. He will learn about bravery and courage and he will make a lifetime of memories. He will have all of these things, simply because you gave a boy a baseball. All because you gave a boy a baseball — You will be there the day he hits his first home run, his first strikeout, and his first double play. He will make you so very proud. Other parents will congratulate you but you will feel strange saying thank you because it’s not you at bat or on the mound - it’s him. He did this and right before your eyes, your little boy will be transformed from the baby who spun around with his head on the bat - because he loves attention - into a pitcher because he still loves attention 🙃 FINALLY get to share some shots from this incredible session. Holding back for over a month has been hard! Tonight we celebrated SENIOR NIGHT for ten senior players alongside coaches, teammates, family and friends. Tears of joy and smiles filled the air at Falcons Field at Flanagan High School. I documented so many candid, raw moments. Can’t wait to share! I am drowning in editing but, I gotta say the thrill of all things photography is so worth it for this passionate photographer 🙂‍↔️📸 #sportsphotographer #sportsphotography #highschoolbaseball #baseball #baseballlife #baseballlove #béisbol #beisbolista #americasfavoritepasttime #ablissfulmemory #lifestylephotography #falconsbaseball #falconsfield #wheretonext #adventureawaits #flylikeaneagle

LGH 🔥🏀 Stumbled across news that the Miami Heat won last night against the Boston Celtics with a score of 111 to 101 against so felt a heart tug to share some basketball inspired goodies. In a better world, everyone would live with hearts wide open, everyone would will learn from children. We are in such a hurry to teach them yet most don’t seem to learn from them, and they have much to teach us. With that said, grand rising & blessed day, beautiful people 🫶🏽 #forthefellas #teenphotographer #boysrock #boyswillbeboys #lifestylephotography #ablissfulmemory #basketball #themiamiheat #dwade #wynwood #wynwoodwalls #streetphotographer #dowhatyoulovelovewhatyoudo

Grounded Love 🖤 Earth heals us through our feet. We heal others through our hands and hearts. Earthing, also known as grounding, allows us to directly connect our bodies with the earth and use its natural electric charges to stabilize our nervous system on a cellular level. The feet are energetic roots to our bodies. Walking barefoot on dirt, grass, sand, etc.. is a mindful and wonderful way to balance the energy in the body when we feel emotionally, mentally, physically exhausted (or all of the above) and need a boost of energy. Also a beautiful way to connect with Mother Nature. Find someone who keeps you grounded, but doesn’t hold you down. Find someone who keeps you sane, but still drives you crazy in all the good ways. Find someone who believes in you, wants to invest in you, wants to learn from you, wants to grow with you, wants to see you win, supports your wildest dreams and falls in love with you daily. Cultivating a peaceful union between two hearts doesn’t mean a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still find calm in your heart, but most importantly from one another, despite the chaos. So when you find someone that makes your heart skip a beat, stop the search and take the risk. Sometimes the most difficult roads lead to the most beautiful destinations ✨ #allthefeels #earthday #blackandwhitephotography #ablissfulmemory #elope #elopement #elopementinspiration #elopementlove #eloping #sunriseelopement #sunrisewedding #beachelopement #beachwedding #beachvibes #beachphotographer #southbeach #southpointepark #southpointebeach #miamiphotographer #miamiweddings #southfloridaphotographer #destinationphotographer #travelislife #travelphotographer

Mesmerizing elopement + twin flame kinda love 🌅 Authenticity. Connection. Chemistry. Nurturing. A force of love that pushes you to grow beyond your imagination. It’s like winning a golden ticket to fast-track evolution without being offered much time to catch your breath, yet it feels like a fresh breath of air — at the same damn time. You see one another’s darkness, light and trigger the deepest wounds that you didn’t know existed, in a way, no one else ever has. This kind of relationship is to experience a liberated love. A liberated love is the love that goes far beyond any concepts, labels, people pleasing and ideas of how a relationship should be. It surpasses any form and loves without conditions but with deep, mutual transparency. A love like this leaves no room for curiosity because it genuinely fulfills every part of your being to the core. This kind of love exists. I’ve been fortunate to hear these stories, witness and document them, thanks to photography. Too often, we’re conditioned to believe that we must be on some sort of timeline, that we have to do things like those before us, or force our way through choices and situations just because it’s what’s most deem appropriate or what not. But that’s not how it’s gotta be. Not in love and not in anything. This heavenly orchestrated blended family union I was incredibly blessed to capture is a testimony that our creator and divine universe breaks us to make us. Nobody likes to be broken but everyone needs to be broken. God uses brokenness to create the most authentic happy endings. God is love, He is the Healer, He is the Restorer. He makes broken things whole and new, and who are we to control how that magically unfolds. It’s not talked about enough but the best kind of partnership fuels every love language.. spiritually, emotionally, physically, mentally and everything in between. Sweet sleeps, world! 💫 #elope #elopement #elopementphotographer #weddingphotographer #southfloridaphotographer #destinationphotographer #travelislife #travelphotographer #lifestylephotography #creativeheart #lovemakestheworldgoround #lovemakestherideworthwhile #weddingbliss #ablissfulmemory

“I never wanted a quiet, sensible sort of love. I wanted to be devoured.” 🤍 ~ Beau Taplin Healthy relationships won’t demand you shrink or dim your light for the other person to feel validated, superior, or comfortable. Healthy relationships won’t require you to ignore your own needs, or to bury your desires or passions. Healthy relationships make you feel BLISS. And this goes for all kinds of relationships.. Humans tend to sacrifice their earnings, their playfulness, their joyfulness, their dreams and all their inner child desires rising once again to the surface — because of conditioning and adulting. And I know. I know because I too was in that rabbit hole for quite sometime. All in life comes with a blessing and a lesson but, I will never go back to living on autopilot and survival mode. I choose to thrive, even in the messiest situations. Go after your biggest dreams. Follow your heart tugs. Listen to that little voice, that’s your intuition, it knows the way to an adventurous, blissful and spontaneous livelihood despite the challenges that will come along. “Find someone who grows flowers in the darkest parts of you. Take heed when things get hard and don’t you ever turn around. You’ll find someone, someday, somewhere that grows you to the clouds..” That’s all for now, folks. Happy Tuesday, beautiful people 🌞 #ablissfulmemory #miamiphotographer #southfloridaphotographer #destinationphotographer #elopement #elopementphotography #elope #elopementwedding #travelwedding #destinationwedding #travelelopementphotographer #hungarytomiami #miami #keybiscayne #beachelopement #beach #beachsidewedding #beachweddings #intimateweddings #weddingadventures #authenticlovestories #wanderlust #letstravel #travelislife #dresswithpockets #pocketfullofsunshine #alovelikethis #chemistry #chemistry101 #unscripted

Alexa, play ‘A Thousand Miles’ by Vanessa Carlton 🎶 Love is an adventure. Choosing to elope, no matter the length of time you’ve been in love, is the grand beginning of a thrilling journey. An intimate kind of celebration like this escapes the ordinary, the conventional and I wholeheartedly advocate and speak favorably of it! Whether you’re planning a courthouse, mountaintop, tranquil wilderness or beachside elopement, be sure to bring along your favorite photographer to document the candid moments, the in-betweens, the essence of authentic love, adventurous and wildly in love hearts and the beauty that is your destined loved story. I am blessed beyond measure to hear and witness some of the most wholesome love stories and be a little part of my clients world. Let’s dive into the universe of romance, wanderlust and the joy of saying ‘I do’ in the most mesmerizing way, together. I’ll happily be your third wheel. When two hearts elope, the world becomes their playground. A love story, written in the stars 💫 #ablissfulmemory #miamiphotographer #southfloridaphotographer #destinationphotographer #elopement #elopementphotography #elope #elopementwedding #travelwedding #destinationwedding #travelelopementphotographer #hungarytomiami #miami #keybiscayne #beachelopement #beach #beachsidewedding #beachweddings #intimateweddings #weddingadventures #authenticlovestories #wanderlust #letstravel #travelislife #dresswithpockets #pocketfullofsunshine

May your passion feel like waves, not the ones that drown you, but the ones that lift you up, carrying you to the shores of your wildest dreams 💫 Nothing is really black or white, beautiful or ugly, and bad or good. Perception is truly key. Life would be easy peezy lemon squeezy if there was one side to every story but there isn’t. Hence why it’s so beautifully hard 😉 Rested, rejuvenated, creative juices are flowing.. always working on endless editing and so much more.. Stay tuned for all the goodness happening around here!!! On another bright note, April is World Autism Awareness Month & April 2nd World Autism Awareness Day 💡♥️💛💚💙🧩 Internationally recognized & observed to raise awareness about ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), promote early diagnosis & support — and for those of us destined by our highest power to be an advocate for the birthright and opportunities of all uniquely abled beings to feel.. accepted, heard, included, seen and wholesomely loved. This week, I watched a @netflix movie called ‘TYSON’S RUN’ 🏃🏽💪🏽 A beautiful, heartwarming, tearjerker about a 15 years young teen boy who faces the challenges of autism and life as a whole. I feel everyone should watch it. We can all learn so much from stories like this, it’ll humble you to your core and inspire you to believe in the potential of others, no matter how different you think they are. Watch it, friends! 💋 MUA & Stylist @theglaminator @theglaminatorscloset 📍 @miamidesigndistrict #autismacceptance #autismawarenessmonth #autismawarenessday #autismspectrum #autismawareness #autismspeaksfl #autismspeaks #autism #autismadvocate #autismadvocacy #autismcommunity #autismwarrior #autismteacher #specialneedsteacher #specialneeds #specialneedsadvocate #specialneedsphotographer #specialabilities #uniqueabilities #neurodivergent #neurodiversity #neurodiverse #abm #ablissfulmemory #creativephotographer #lifestylephotography #quince #quinceañera #quinceanos #quincephotography

Life is too short to be with someone who doesn’t make your whole body sing with happiness 🫶🏽 Forget all that.. All you planned and all you expected, all you anticipated life to be. All the stories you tell yourself about who you are and what you’re capable of. What if the limit is solely within your mind? What if the callings in your heart are a better and clearer measure of what’s truly possible? What if, all along, what you needed was the courage to feel, to know, and to leap? There is love, there is potential and there is beauty flowing from every given moment you experience while alive. I hope you will allow your life to be bigger than you ever thought it could be. I hope you will wipe a slate clean and begin again, as many times as you need, with the truth of who you are today, and all you hope to be tomorrow. I hope you will realize just how much is within you, and around you. I hope you will let yourself do more and love harder than you ever thought you could. Shot an awesome intimate Venice Beach wedding alongside my beautiful friend @annettepereaphoto 🫶🏽 This whole day flowed effortlessly, everything was simple, sweet and every being was so full of life, starting with the couple and their super chill, down to earth vibe. The authentic, genuine love was more than felt, if that even makes sense and we surely embraced every ounce of it because Bridezillas or Groomzillos (is that even a word?) aren’t our cup of tea.. just sayin’ 😜 #silouettes #sunset #sunsetlovers #sunsetweddings #sunsetphotography #venicebeach #venicebeachboardwalk #venicebeachflorida #veniceflorida #weddingphotographers #travelphotographers #destinationphotographers #southflorida #southfloridaphotographer #intimateweddings #smallweddings #beachwedding #oceanoflove #livelovegrow #dowhatyoulove #ablissfulmemory

National Girls & Women in Sports Day 🖤 A terrific time to celebrate the inclusion of athletes and sport driven females, on and off the field and across the globe. To all the girls dreaming of making a livelihood in the sports world; if you can dream it, you can live it. Women are leading and excelling all around, pushing boundaries and there’s nothing you can’t do just as long as you put grace and grit into it. With an open heart and open mind, the possibilities are endless, even if and when it feels nearly impossible. To all of the hard working, dedicated, and talented athletes, entrepreneurs & career driven souls.. somewhere behind the person you’ve become, and the hours of putting in work, the coaches and mentors who’ve pushed you, the supporters and the naysayers — is a little girl who fell in love with the game and never looked back. In all that you do.. PLAY. FOR. HER. 👏🏽 She believed she could. So she did. ✨ #nationalgirlsandwomeninsportsday #girlsrock #girlsgirlsgirls #girlsjustwannahavefun #girlsjustwannatravel #girlsinspiration #womeninspiringwomen #girlhood #womenhood #female #femaleempowerment #femaleentrepreneur #femaleathlete #femaleartist #femaleleaders #ablissfulmemory #abmsports #sportsphotography #softball #softballplayer #softballgirls

J A Y C O B 😎 Sunsets, like childhood, are viewed with wonder not just because they are beautiful but because they are fleeting. Children do not move, think or speak in a straight line, and neither does imagination nor creativity. But sadly, our standardized pathways of education and so much of our conditioning flips the script in our hearts somehow making us believe, that there’s only way one through. And that’s bogus advice. Children get one childhood and overall as humans we get one life. Despite the uncontrollable mess that comes with living earth side, allow your kids to authentically be who they are, from the very beginning of time so that in turn, they become who they are truly meant to be. Not who anyone or society said they should be. Keep your children wild — don’t make them grow up too fast.. heck don’t make them grow up at all. Let’s make it a trend to be child like even in our adulthood, have fun, explore, play, wander, be adventurous, spontaneous and do all things that bring JOY to the core of you. Life isn’t meant to be lived in one place. These are just a few of the secrets to staying.. forever young. In love with these teasers from this awesome lifestyle sesh we did to update this handsome boys casting profile. Isn’t he a STUD! Ahhh so much more to come. Stick around, kids! 🖤 #ablissfulmemory #forthefellas #lifestylephotography #abmkids #abmloveskids #kidsrock #wearetheworld #wearethechange #livelovegrow #liveyourbestlife #miamiphotographer #southflorida #southfloridaphotographer #destinationphotographer #travelphotographer #travelislife #letsadventure #casting #castingcalls #castingagent #creativekids

The best chances for success comes when we are aligned with our authentic truth. Not our parents, not societies, not our partners, not our kids but our own individual truth. Whatever that looks like — bask in it 🖤 God will give you the desires of your heart in divine time. He hears you. You just have to be patient and trust. We are divinely and uniquely guided, each one of us. All our experiences, amazing, terrible, good or not so good are part of the journey, the way to our destiny, the road back home. New beginnings are around the corner. I feel it in my core and have a circle of believers cheering me on big time. I can't tell you how grateful I am for those who genuinely + wholeheartedly believe in me and my wildest visions. Your support doesn't go unnoticed 🥹 As we embrace taking steps into 2024 and into the unknown that is life, I wanted to wish you all a year filled with heartfelt & heart-led dreams, goals, grit, grace and serene moments. Follow my new endeavor & have a good day ya’ll! @themiracleleaguecityofhialeah 📸🤘🏽 @thepictureboxphoto

For the kids. For the kingdom. ♥️ Educating children about diversity is paramount (as it is for adults). Mindful connections and experiences are an awe-inspiring way of showing others the importance of being compassionate and celebrating differences in all people and things. Exposing ourselves to different cultural aspects and meaningful community events, offers unique experiences in effort that we realize we're all human, despite how we look, how we dress, what we eat, what we believe in or celebrate. Differences such as race, religion, spirituality, language, traditions, gender and so on are something we should freely speak of without having to walk on eggshells. Because well, different strokes for different folks. It is said that children notice differences between people at about age 2 years as they begin to notice gender and racial differences. At 2 ½ or so, children start learning gender labels and name of colors — which they begin to apply to skin color. Around 3 years of age, children notice physical differences. At about 4-5 years, they begin to display gender appropriate behaviors emitting who they are and more times than not, become fearful of differences. The loss of child innocence is really a loss of an open heart. We tend to lose sight of our openness to life, to people, to dreams, to desire and our ability to be in the present and feel what we feel, a lot of times, gets compromised on the way to adulthood. Let's raise mindful little humans so they become mindful adults! Laz, your heart is in it. Been witnessing all you do for our community & humanity as a collective - always cheering you on from the sidelines. But being a part of this phenomenal event you put together with the help of so many amazing people, simply confirms that you are THE HIALEAH GOAT!

As we say goodbye to 2023 and as beautifully broken as I am.. I am filled with immense gratitude for the mindful souls in my world. Those who have chosen me to witness and document some of the best parts of their stories, oh so talented photographers who have been alongside me during these events making them even more memorable & the wholesome beings that believe in me and all my wild dreams. What’s coming is BIG! I feel it in my core. There aren't enough words — I know that’s strange coming from someone who has so much to say — to express how endlessly grateful I feel. Cheers to laughter, tears of joy, tears of grief, and endless unforgettable memories we have created together and to the countless fond memories to come. Thank you from the bottom of my big mushy heart for making one of the hardest years of my life and extraordinary year, nonetheless. You know who you are. May 2024 be filled with authentic love, aha moments, breaking of cycles, genuine connections that go deeper than surface level, freedom to being who you were born to be, tight hugs, living in bliss despite the challenges, doing all things that bring absolute joy to your heart, and blissful memories waiting to be documented. My heart is broken but it’s full. So so so full. Thank you. Happy New Year, beautiful people 🎇🤟🏽 #happynewyear #eatonton #lakeoconee #georgia #ablissfulmemory #newbliss #newyear #moreme

hold on to your inner child, for the sense of adventure will keep your spirit alive. laugh and play, for it is the child within that knows how to truly live.. the truth can be blinding it's so bright.. don't let that stop you. the look and feel of REAL PASSION can cut through the darkness. the kind you can feel is rooted to something much bigger, the web of existence. of humanity. many times — we think someone is ranting, but they are actually speaking with conviction, and everyone has just forgotten the sound of real passion. we're so afraid of absolutes and a strong gut and digging in your heels that we dismiss the powerful voice of a lonely fighter. listen for quiet strength, for humble confidence. it's not often someone will stand for what is right, what is true, what is pure. more often we're afraid to admit we're afraid, because the truth is so blinding in a dark world. — j.s. park • renée RITUAL OF HEART @ritualofheart ps: living your authentic truth, will set you free. what’s meant to be, will be. 🕊️

Less what the eye sees. More what the soul feels. What light is to the eyes, air is to the lungs. What love is to the heart, liberty is the soul of man. As a parent, it is not our job to make our children become who we want them to become. What sets their heart on fire is not for us to choose. Let them feed what they love and watch them burn to the horizon. They ARE the fire. And no matter what path they choose.. mom and dad, should dance in their light, with pride and joy. My kids have taught me more than they’ll ever know. Because of them, I truly know the act of grace, forgiveness and unconditional love. Through parenthood, entrepreneurship & grief, I have rediscovered and reignited the little girl in me who was dimming her light. I learned to love her for who she was then, who she’s been in between, who she is now and who she continues to evolve into. Just a big hearted, flawed, perfectly imperfect being — in all my brokenness, my shortcomings and my mess. Following my bliss, dreams, heart tugs and intuition as often as possible because I know what not following them feels like.. Praying, manifesting and trusting our highest power and divine timing is always behind the wheel. If that makes me wrong, then I don’t want to be right 😉

Embrace those who grow flowers in the darkest parts of you.. 🌹 We don't just do it 'cause we're good at it. We do it 'cause we find that feelings arise and good things happen when we do. If you wait until you feel 💯 confident and ready, you’ll be waiting the rest of your life. Fear kills more dreams than failure ever will. Show up and participate. Sometimes you just have to get up and go for it. Sometimes you just have to go with what you feel. Sometimes you just have to try, even if it won’t work. Sometimes you just have to be silent, because no words can explain what is going on in your heart and mind. Sometimes you just have to be done. Not mad, not upset. Sometimes you just have to let people be wrong about you. Sometimes you just have to pick yourself up and carry on. Sometimes we just have to let go, let Jesus take the wheel. Sometimes you just have to risk it all for a dream only you can see 👁️ This sweet girls Quinceañera Party is just around the corner.

Sometimes it takes decades to get to that one year that will change your life in all the imaginable ways 🩷 The real work you have to do is in the privacy of your own heart. All of the external forms are lovely, but the real work is your deep inner connection with self. Self acceptance. Self awareness. Self love. I am humbled and beyond thankful for the people who have been by my side this year. The ones who carried me through my hardest days, and celebrated my brightest. The ones who never failed to show up, the ones who always answered, the ones who had my back no matter what. Thank you for being my people. I am overly grateful for you. You know who you are.. 🫶🏽 . . . 2021 changed me. 2022 broke me. 2023 opened my eyes. 2024 i am coming back. . . . #thankful #thankfulgratefulblessed #thankfultuesday #tuesdaythoughts #transformationtuesday #livelovegrow #ablissfulmemory #artist #creative #educator #photographer #advocate #lightworker #november #sweetnovember #novemberbaby #communitylove #communityovercompetition #grief #griefjourney #griefislove #navigatinglife #onemomentatatime

For The Fellas — that's what I am calling these sessions 🤙🏽 Allow children to be happy in their own way, for what better way will they find? — Your first child will experience every version of you. The good, the bad, and the ugly. They will love you through it all. They think they needed you but all along it was you who needed them.. Years of wishing males (not just littles that aren’t given a choice) would get in front of my lens and it's happening! As a mom of teens and educator, I know it is vital to be in tune with our kids mental wellness, it’s the root of it all. And I mean all. Photography tells a story, even when the story line changes as we evolve. When your child sees their photos, I want them to feel a sense of belonging. I want them to look at themselves through a lens of self acceptance and all the self love. Life isn't just black and white, there's so much in between. Having the best of both worlds is my testament for believing that mental health is as big as a deal for girls, as it is for boys. But there are so many stigmas that must be broken — especially for fellas. Children are going to make mistakes. That does not make them bad. That makes them human. Beautifully, messily human, just as we all are 🥹

“A disco ball is hundreds of pieces of broken glass put together into a magical ball of light. You aren’t broken, you are a disco ball.” 🪩 Take a deep breath, release the tension, and step into the flow of life. The future will unfold, and you will look back and realize that every twist and turn was a necessary part of your journey. Life is an ongoing fleeting adventure — the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art: to bring all our energies to each encounter, to remain flexible enough to notice and admit when what we expected to happen did not happen. Everything will happen the way it has to happen. Everything you're stressing about will eventually fall into place. And you will be able to see that you're guided and protected. Call it our higher power, call it destiny, call it the universe, call it whatever resonates with you, but it is working in your favor. Life happens for you, not to you. There’s nothing to worry about. Just be present and be mindful that everything and everyone is interconnected. Stay safe South Floridians.. it’s been one heck of a gloomy & moody rainy day 🌧️

Don’t like the story? Don’t close the book. Simply write a new magical ending.. 🪄 There are four things that will change your heart, perspective and core to its entirety. Love, Music, Art and Loss. The first three will keep you wild & full of passion. May you allow the last to make you humbly brave & resilient. Time is growing short, there’s no escaping death but in between, there are endless unexplored adventures ahead. You shouldn’t live the rest of your life worried about what others think. You were born worthy of love and belonging. Courage and daring are coursing through you. You were made to live & love with your whole heart not half hearted or denying yourself of all the good things life has to offer. Show up and believe that you will find the one who makes you feel heard, seen and understood.. in all the wholesome ways 🤍 The portal, pursuit of happiness and magic to every next level is through the parts of yourself that you avoid, the parts you are sweeping under the rug. Don’t hold back on loving hard and being loved hard back. ps: wedding video is to DIE FOR! @noe_villafuerte_ made sure that all the emotions and heartfelt personalized vows were more than felt when watching 😭

The more you live a life that feels good, instead of the one you feel is expected from you — the happier you'll be 🖤 Passion can be a verb. You can fall in love with learning.. about yourself, about others, about the world. You can fall in love with changing, into your highest self. You can fall in love with trying your best, in all that you do. You can fall in love with chasing what makes you feel good, what makes you feel free. You can fall in love with giving yourself self love and all the grace, no matter how many times you feel you fall short. Your story doesn't have to make sense to everyone. It doesn't have to be stagnant as time goes by or because you grow into adulthood. You’re allowed to love one thing one moment & another the next. You’re allowed to change your mind and try 10000 different things as your passion can't and shouldn't fit in a box. It really is about falling in love with the journey.. Good God.. SO IN LOVE with the teasers from this sunrise beach elopement. Ummm, can we do it all over again? 🫠 :::wishful thinking::: Friendly reminder.. the big man above knows our hearts and emits unconditional love just as much as he breaks, rebuilds & restores so that in turn we experience the purest most authentic love and happiness. Rise & Shine, beautiful humans!

10/26/2023, 1:36:44 PM

Risk is always better than regret ❤️‍🔥 Life isn't something to be solved. Life is a grand adventure to be authentically embraced, fulfilled, lived and savored. Our higher power had a purpose for your life way before you ever had a plan for yourself and all those forged timelines. As challenging as it is, one must allow plans to crumble at some point, so God's purpose can prevail. I am a firm believe that even when times are tough, when life feels stagnant or just plain sucks — everything happens for a reason. We believe in faith and fear when we cannot see it because we feel it.. so why not believe in your hearts desires, listen to your inner voice and follow its lead as it just may be EVERYTHING you dreamed of and MORE! Kat + Silver, I am OBSESSED with your love! And these teasers!!! #somelightmag

Be patient and have faith in the mess. We can plan our lives and map it all out but truth is, there is no escaping your heart, destiny, fate & divine timing. You just gotta believe that there is more to life than what’s seen on the surface..

Embody your inner child, beauty, grace & love.. despite your story 🖤 Life becomes a reflection of your thoughts, molding, decisions, conditioning, etc.. Ask yourself, is there anything you'd like to change? And remind yourself that it’s okay to be grateful for all the blessings, challenges and hard times, whilst needing, wanting and deserving more. That’s part of your calling, of the human experience.. to grow, evolve and transform into your highest self. The wonderful thing about this grand universe is that it is a dream world that is malleable. You can alter life in the destined direction of your dreams and meet fate by doing deep inner work and following your hearts bliss. Or you can choose to live in a comfort zone state of mind. In my experiences, I will wholeheartedly say that life begins at the end of your comfort zone. Prayer and manifestation are the real deal but first and foremost you must believe in yourself without self sabotaging. Your cup has to be full before you can genuinely pour into others. On another note, today was such a beautiful day in the M I A 🌞

Deeply rooted.. 🏝️ Humans crave receiving love and giving love because it feels good. The affection and emotional intimacy are desirable for most, so romantic love can be thought of as an instinct or drive to fulfill one of our endless human needs. But there’s a difference between love and in love. More times than not, your nervous system will choose a familiar hell over an unfamiliar heaven. Just remember that you have a choice. No matter what. Because while the familiar might feel safe, it can keep us stuck in situations that don't fulfill us or allow expansion. The biggest threat to low vibrational forces seeking power & control, is a high vibration. A low vibration can try and pull you down to its level, but can never fly high to meet you at yours. You ultimately determine your vibrational state. And you are sovereign, nothing else has influence over this, unless you allow it to. So - my fellow friends - I invite you to breathe, to really slow down sometimes, to continue to share your magic and your heart with the world. To love despite prior pain. To open your heart even if you're scared to. The world desperately needs dreamers, high energy, radical souls.. so we don't tip the scales too far the other way. The high vibing, sensitive, resilient beings are energetic life rafts to the ship that outside forces seek to sink & control. Acknowledge fear, see it — yet strive to find the resilience to keep loving, keep sharing & keep going. Own your frequency 🌊

One week. Still swooning. Wishful thinking we could do it all over again! 💋 Voice note regarding sneak peeks went a little something like this: “Oh my God Betsy, hiiii, we loveee the pictures. I am jumping around in my room, we love them!” Her tone. Her giggles. Her jumping around like a happy little child, she did that so many times on her elopement day and it truly makes me mushy inside. We spoke much of how our world and our steps in life tend to be conditioned so my heart jumps with joy when I meet beautiful rebels that go against the grain and FOLLOW THEIR BLISS, their heart, no one else’s. Then they meet the one who can intensify that bliss to another level, not just as a soul mate but twin flame, someone who knows how to hold space for you and love you as wildly as you crave to be loved. That deep kind of love exists. CHEERS Jenny + Gergö.. your love is authentic, unscripted, loud and proud!!! Blessed to have been chosen to document your beautiful love story 🤍 #weddingwednesday #ablissfulmemory #weddingphotography #elopementphotography #travelelopementphotographer #elope #elopement #southfloridaweddingvendors #wildhearts #authenticlovemag #unscriptedposingapp

The shadow is the greatest teacher for how to come to the light 🖤 Light and shadow are opposite sides of the same coin. We can illuminate our paths or darken our way. It is a matter of choice. Choose whatever makes you feel like your most authentic self. Been glued to my computer all day catching up with inquiries and endless editing. So in love with how all galleries are turning out!!! They say slow + steady wins the race and although I am not in a race, I believe some of the best results come from effective effort. The art of noticing. My job is to notice. My passion is to notice. As photographers, we are artists who pay attention. It's our heart to know the small moments are the big moments, and the most impactful images are often fleeting seconds that might be overlooked — if we hadn't been paying attention. So this is a friendly reminder, as an artist and as a human — to let the small things move you, entrust your important days to people who pay attention, and most importantly, become well versed in the art of noticing. Good night world 💫

Live simply. Love wildly. 🖤 That authentic, twin flame love makes the wildest spirit tame, and the tamest spirit wild. Just take notes from my wildly in love couples 😍 Stoked for tomorrow’s intimate elopement. Kinda have the first day of school jitters.. in all the good ways due to excitement 🙃 Stay connected for another beautiful love story I’ll be documenting & to hear where they traveled from. My heart is smiling. Buenas noches y dulces sueños amigos 🌙✨

A beautiful soul doesn't mean you're pure and spotless. It means you've experienced, learned, and grown through ups and downs of life, accepting your imperfections, tuning into your heart and intuition, trusting the process and divine timing, as part of your destiny, your fate, your journey. Beauty shines through resilience and authenticity. Staying connected to your true self is one of life's not so secret yet so unspoken of. Embrace your flaws and imperfections. Give yourself the grace you so freely give others. And love yourself through every given season, even when nothing makes sense or if it all makes sense. Loving yourself, no matter what is vital + There are no mistakes in life. Only experiences. No one will change my mind. So why live a little when we can live + love a lot?! Happy Saturday, cool kids! 😎

You are human. That is your superpower 🖤 Let’s connect, create & make OUR dreams comes true. Because as I strive to give my clients a blissful experience and deliver storytelling, timeless galleries — you are all in turn making my childhood dreams a living reality. I kid you not. Connecting the dots has been impressively mind blowing after so many decades of living and seeing for myself how vividly my passions have surfaced and unraveled. How this is my livelihood and it’s only the beginning. Someone pinch me!!! :::just kidding that hurts::: 😝 Yesterday I received heartfelt messages from a client and it has sparked yet another endeavor. Something I’ve been dreaming of day and night. Education & Photography are my bliss and being able to share it with the world.. is without a doubt the whip cream & cherry on top 🍒 Thank you Baby Jesus! Thank you Divine Universe! Thank you beautiful humans! Grateful is an understatement.

This photog doesn’t edit in sunrises, sunshine & sunsets for ✌🏽 reasons.. 1. Wouldn’t know where to start in PS {Photoshop}. Don’t use it at all as I am a LR {Lightroom} kinda girl. 2. Because, I chase the real thing!!! Ask my clients, they’ll tell you and as clichè as it sounds.. the proof is in the pudding. In my case, pictures 🫠 I pray that I never lose sight of the passion and purpose that comes with my love for art, photography and humanity as a whole. This creative outlet I was blessed to bring to life in 2014 has been brewing in every atom, cell and fiber in my being since I was a little girl. Still pinch myself sometimes as it feels unreal how my inner world continues to unravel in all the ways it’s meant to, in ways I dreamed of and in all the ways I continue to envision. To say I am blessed and divinely guided is an understatement. Gracias Jeśus. Gracias Papa Dios. Gracias Mi Angel. 🌞 #somelightmag

A metamorphosis era.. 🦋 Stunning images don’t create themselves just by poses, prompts, editing and a fancy camera. Stunning images are made through CONNECTION and unscripted in between moments ✨ Take time to wholeheartedly connect with your clients, become friends. Wherever it is you are shooting, connect as well. With the humans, animals, community and venues. Find yourself as an artist, break out of the constricted box that having a small business puts you into. Flip the script and make that box the most beautiful god given gift, the most colorful and diverse box that you could ever imagine possible. Focus on making people feel authentically and genuinely good in your presence. Don’t take life so seriously, have all the fun while doing what you love and see for yourself how it becomes a game changer for your ever growing and ever evolving business. It’s not just about the pictures. It’s about the ‘BIG PICTURE’ as a whole 🫶🏽

First Day Of School 🖤📓 @lightwork_education_ @specializedpediatric It'll happen. On a day that starts like any other, when everything you know feels easy, familiar, predictable.. something will enter your life and change everything. You won't know that it's coming, won't see the unfolding. You’ll just know this is ‘different’ from every experience you've ever had before. All you can do when it happens, is stay. Stay when you want to run. Let the unfolding reveal itself. Even when the voice in your head says this might only be fleeting and it may not be real and this may lead to nowhere at all. Stay, because there’ll be something that blooms within you. A voice that doesn't scream, it whispers. A deep, intangible knowing. Something only you can feel that understands — this.is.right. Some of the best things are going to scare you. Some of the best things are going to shake your foundation to the core.. There are obvious things, right there, impossible to ignore things. The person, opportunity, once-in-a-lifetime chance. And the subtler things. That thought that crosses your mind one day and keeps coming back. An inkling. An idea. That soft whisper. Maybe I should share my art. Maybe I should write the book. Maybe I should move to the mountains. Maybe I should go back to school, quit my job or start this new path that feels right but doesn't fit my perfectly mapped out plans. It’ll happen when you least expect it. It’ll enter your life and unravel the plans you made for yourself along the way and more times than not, brings you back to authenticity, to who you once were, those inner child desires, wants and needs without the conditioning, shaming and societal expectations. Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and do more of that. Because the world needs it. It’s ironic how you feel most alive when your heart skips a few beats.. 🫠

I close my eyes to old ends, and open my heart to new beginnings as I vividly live my childhood dreams 🦋 Not all humans were made to be in an office setting all day to simply work for a steady paycheck, pay bills to survive this hard-knock life and then.. well you know. I for one, am not okay with the system in many ways, I broke the corporate chains and respectfully refuse to be part of a world that conditions anyone to believe there aren’t endless possibilities and ways of making a living and being authentically and genuinely happy while doing so. Despite your age, life resolves, and the way you ‘thought’ you had to live (because people pleasing is a thing) remember to sit with your feelings, listen to your heart, your gut and your inner child voice and do the all that makes you feel alive earth-side.. Tomorrow isn’t promised 🖤 My dear Lisbeth, THANK YOU from the bottom of my big mushy heart for doing what you do for the education + special needs community and giving me the opportunities that you have. Perhaps one day, I’ll write a book about how my story aligned decades later, how meeting you proves angels don’t always have wings and age is nothing but a number as we can rise like a lotus from the mud, at any given time 🪷 Ryan, you’re one of the most caring and thoughtful human beings I know. You and Liz balance one another out so effortlessly and it’s beautiful to witness. We’re coming in stronger the remainder of 2023.

black. white. infinite shades in between 🖤 i know there are terrible things happening and bad people out in the world but listen.. there are also people who stop and smile at tiny plants growing out of sidewalk cracks, who laugh so loud they snort, who compliment others randomly, who take pictures of friends, family and strangers because they love creating still memories, who ramble about things that they're passionate about, who blush and stutter, who are kind, who are warm, who vulnerably share their stories, who spread light, who are authentically themselves despite what the world wants them to be.. people who love & love & love ✨ just as life evolves, humans evolve and our tribe evolves. there are people you haven’t met yet who are going to love you, and vice versa. places you haven’t been to, that you are going to fall in love with. unlearn. unravel. learn again. take chances. take risks. unleash your life’s potential. don’t hold back on the things you’ve always wanted to do. don’t keep sweeping your childhood dreams and visions under the rug. and if it’s a new found love, chase it. quit being afraid of what could go wrong and believe in all that could go right. whatever it is. dream big. go for it. ✨ Hair+MUA @theglaminator @theglaminatorscloset Quince 👗 @aqualuna.dressrental 📍Matheson Hammock Park & Marina #ablissfulmemory #quinceañera #quinces #creativelifestylephotographer #dreambig

Let's get deeper. Let’s unravel.. knowledge is power 🙌🏽 Did you know there’s no biblical scripture that instructs people to wear wedding rings? It is told that the first wedding ring dates back to 3000+ years (around 4000 BC) and recorded evidence that a formal exchange of rings between two people came from ancient Egypt, Rome and Greece. The rings weren't made with metal or engraved gemstones and people held onto a belief that the rings were circular, to signify the unknown. Once a commitment is made, they might never know what the future holds. The circle is also a universal symbol with lots of meanings such as circle of life, birth, survival, death, connection, community, no beginning, no end, the self, the infinite, timelessness, Gods endless love, a common token of love (a very expensive one at times lol) that unites two beings and is a materialistic and romantic mindset from the secular world and perhaps other reasons I am unaware of. A ring is sacred to many, and to others, it may not be due to their experiences, and that's understandable. A ring, signed document, vow, all of it is incredibly and un•freaking•deniably beautiful don’t misunderstand my openness but truth is, none of it determines the quality or durability of a relationship as we are ever changing and evolving humans in an ever changing and evolving universe. Always a student in this life, despite age. To me, it feels at ease to live in this world full of goodness but also judgment & unsolicited opinions, with an open heart, open mind and view things from your perspective, no one else's. Embrace this ONCE in a lifetime experience and live how it best feels to you, let others live as they wish and pleaseee stop worrying about fitting into a social status box. You blink and its over.. there’s no sugar coating that. Life happens FAST! 💨

The power of a dad in a child’s life is unmatched 🤟🏽 I am missing mine a little extra today. And let’s just say, this grief journey is out of control. You’re smiling one second, next thing you know, you hear one word in a song and it makes you ball your eyes & heart out for what seems like forever. Tough day for this grieving daughter.. hugs always welcomed 🙃🫂 Feeling safe in the arms of a man even when he isn’t physically around is the most powerful feeling I have ever felt. Strange but, it’s like I feel my dads presence perhaps more in this spiritual experience we are living than when he was earth side. Hard to explain what my heart is trying to make sense of.. some will resonate, others won’t, that’s ok. And if you don’t understand grief, be happy. If you’ve met grief, you know… Anyhow during in-home sessions which I overly love, I strive to take parents aside individually so they embrace time with their littles on their own 🫶🏽

8/17/2023, 11:44:47 PM

details + in-between moments are life 🫠 Endings. Beginnings. One door closes. Another opens. There’s no right or wrong way. There’s no perfection. There’s only trusting what’s unfolding right before your eyes, and the deeper you do, the more connected you become to self and the world around you. Sometimes, many times, we do things backwards.. not how ‘deemed appropriate’ by family, friends & society. The good news is, we don’t and shouldn’t have to seek validation from anyone or anything to chase what makes us happy and feel at ease, from the inside out. Journey deeper in the way that most sings to your heart. Dream. Create. Write. Love. Move. Breathe. Give. Receive. Do what only you can do, that is your superpower ✨ Let play be what heals. Feel into your tender heart, your vulnerable heart. There is fierce love painted all over you. Stop pretending. You don't have to settle. What is it that makes you come alive? Accept & love what lights you up. What fulfills your soul? Just do that. Do that. And may it bring you immense joy & freedom 🌗 #newmoonenergy #divinetiming #trustthejourney #wedding #weddingbliss #weddinginspiration #weddingphotography #weddingphotographer #intimateweddingphotographer #intimatewedding #bride #bridetribe #groom #livelovegrow #lovemakestheworldgoround #loveislove #beautifulcrazy #ablissfulmemory #lifestylephotographer #miamiphotographer #destinationphotographer #travelphotography #teamworkmakesthedreamwork

Sometimes the strength of parenthood is greater than natural laws 💪🏽 A mother's love is eternal. So is a father’s. And as we know, there are exceptions to every rule.. Our influence as parents does not stop when our children turn 18. It doesn't stop when they are 40. It doesn't even stop when we transcend. Becoming a parent means being in collaboration of two homes working together with the best interest of the children at heart. To work for and with your kids, not against them. Despite the situation. Our blueprints, fingerprints, experiences, gains, losses and wisdom, touch the next generation and the ones following in so many unique ways. Love has no end. Even when it ends. Love ripples to eternity.

8/15/2023, 5:07:41 PM

Home isn’t a place. Home is a feeling. 🖤 To be curious, to look around in amazement, to ask with interest, to discover new things, new feelings, new ways, to learn different answers and perspectives.. I am now more than ever, a consciously and mindfully thinking adult living a life with a child's attitude & vision. When we see the world as if for the first time; through the eyes of a child, you will suddenly find that you are free. Childhood mean's simplicity. Something my heart has always craved but somehow conditioned to push aside along the way into adulthood. No one told me that I could embrace both. Glad I figured it out, tho. Creating a business from the ground up & experiencing immense heartache that comes with grief, has allowed me to dig deep into my core, the deepest parts of me. Parts I didn’t know existed and then mend a gracefully broken heart that I am slowly bringing back to life. A new life. Because of my experiences, I choose to show up & speak into existence my appreciation for the simple things in life and humanity as a whole. Adventures, emotions, feelings, experiences, opportunities, things that make me feel alive, sightseeing, travel, etc.. the many things we sometimes take for granted. I will strive to indulge in viewing the world as a giant playground, until my last breath.. unapologetically 🌬️ >>> check out stories <<< for more of this awesome sunset session of momma & her rascals.. these two are a handful, funny af & coolest to be around 🤪

d i v e into the uncertainty, the unknown.. it’s always worth the shot 📸 something so gratifying about taking experiences in your life and the life of others, channeling them into words and crystallizing them into pictures that you wholeheartedly pass to someone else to share an ounce of your consciousness with, a glimpse of what your heart looks like from the inside out. one of the many amazing things photography brings to the universe is the opportunity to see something from someone else’s perspective and point of view. it’s a DEEP JOURNEY to be an artist, a creative and a person who thrives on creating for the world around you. it will take you to the depth of your core, have you look at your shadows, your light and reach the limitless desires of your devotion — but it will be the most gratifying path you can take. it’s been life altering to me and I wouldn’t change a thing 🫶🏽 happy Saturday, kids!

8/12/2023, 6:31:55 PM

A different perspective 🩷 When a photographer can’t change a scene, they change their angle, lens and mindframe to capture the best of that moment and scenery. Similarly, when you can’t or are having difficulty changing a situation in your life, you should switch perspective and mindset to get the best out of that situation. If we don’t change, we don’t grow. If we don’t grow, are we really living our potential, our purpose, our calling? The art of life is constant change and readjustment to our surroundings. We are forever students living this temporary human experience, until the day comes when we transcend. Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them, that creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Allow things to flow naturally forwarded in the way they are meant to. Even when that looks entirely different than what we originally had ‘planned’. Believe the almighty knows exactly how to shake things up in divine timing.. it’s up to us to listen to our inner voice choosing to live our truth and authentic happiness.

Accept yourself as you are 🧩 And that is the most difficult thing in the world, because it goes against our conditioning, culture, education, training, you name it. From the beginning you have been told how you should be; when nobody or very few, have ever told you that you are whole just as you are.. Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny and something to fulfill, some message that has to be delivered, some work that has to be completed. You are not here accidentally — you are here meaningfully and purposefully. There is a purpose behind you. The almighty intends to do something through you.. you just have to be fully open to all that life brings, even if and when it may make absolutely no sense. ps: landscape images look sooo much better and bigger on my MAC screen!

Though devastating at first, Autism isn't the end of the world. On the contrary, it’s the beginning of a whole new one 💙💡🎨 Autism offers a chance for us to glimpse an awe-filled vision of the world that might otherwise pass us by. Something that every single human being should experience.. Somewhat speechless but of course, I have lots to express. Meeting Abby a decade ago when I began my photography journey and being fortunate to document this time in her life, is BEYOND humbling. As has been, watching her bloom and grow into the beauty & brains that she is. Connected and felt like home, with this family since day one. We’ve created seasonal memories & I shot the best ‘70th Tequila Party’ ever! They recently gained an Angel.. the goat and head honcho of their lives. Their grief and pain is something I hold close to my heart because I know the feeling, too well. Back to ABBY! Today she is FIFTEEN! 🧁🎉 We shared three incredible days of shooting as day two came with a downpour but we made it happen. At almost midnight last night, I was gazing at my computer screen, editing some teasers & feeling so appreciative of my journey. Doing what sets your heart and soul on fire is where it’s at. HAPPY QUINCES ABBY! I LOVE YOU DEARLY! Being around you makes me so happy. Your aura, sense of humor, jokes, laughter, silliness.. I can go on and on. Thank you for blessing me with your love all these years. Thank you for loving me the way you do. Thank you for being your authentic YOU! Have a fun filled day, sweet girl! 🫶🏽

Don’t tell me the sky’s the limit when there are footprints on the moon 🌗 Humanity is all about energy & emotions. We intertwine all of our experiences to the way we feel. Your pictures are and should be, no different. What's a beautiful photo and a bad experience? Disheartening! Even though it is said that misery loves company, it does NOT have to be that way. Ever. Do your research, coordinate an in person meeting or virtual call with your photographer, follow their page, stalk their posts, stories and reels (in all the good ways), comment and like their art, read their captions, feel their words, what are they like? Do you feel some type of way? Do you resonate? All those emotions circle around bringing you to find & connect with the ideal photographer destined for you. When the day arrives, be a wedding, quince, social event or just because session — it'll feel more like a best friend who takes incredible photos rather than a stranger telling you how to and where to look. We can't and won’t be everyone's cup of tea, I learned that oh-so well in this lovely business but there’s always at least ONE that is right for YOU!! Btw, in case you didn’t know, I am abundantly blessed with some of the most incredible clients on the face of the earth. I wholeheartedly appreciate those who believe in me and support my livelihood.

Armando & Zuly 🤍 You don’t meet your mirror, your twin flame, the love of your life, at the wrong time because that person is timeless. The one makes you want to throw away the plans you originally had and follow them into the hazy, unknown future without a glance backwards. A lot of times, when we do things backwards and differently than what the world deems ‘right’, they work out better than we could have ever imagined possible. People say love isn't something you see, instead something you feel. But how could they explain to me how I see love in smiles; how I see love radiate from beautiful eyes? Sure, you feel butterflies and tornadoes in your stomach, and your heart will beat rapidly and do somersaults inside your ribcage, but how can anyone tell me they don't see love when it is pouring out of humans with every word they say and every song lyric they sing? A little teaser from this weekends intimate wedding. Many thanks to my awesome associate shooter @thepictureboxphoto for editing some incredible shots he took to share with you all while I am road trippin’. Make it a blissful week.. beautiful humans! 🫶🏽 #wedding #weddingbliss #weddingreels #weddinginspiration #weddingphotography #weddingphotographer #intimatewedding #intimateweddingphotographer #bride #groom #ido #livelovegrow #lovemakestheworldgoround #loveislove #ablissfulmemory #lifestylephotographer #miamiphotographer #destinationphotographer #travelphotography #teamwork #teamworkmakesthedreamwork

Just wing it. Life. Eyeliner. Everything. ✨ Is it work if you are having fun? OF COURSE it is! Besides, I’m kinda an outlaw, if I’m not having fun, I’m doing my job wrong. swipe >> Where did our excitement go? Have we grown up too much? Are we taking things too seriously? Has life become more routine responsibility and less carefree? Too often, it feels that way and is. And personally, I don’t like it. There is a time and place to be serious. Or is there really? Haha.. just kidding! In all seriousness, the inner child reflects the child we once were in both his or her negative and positive aspects, unmet needs and suppressed childhood emotions, as well as childlike innocence, creativity, and joy — all which are still waiting within each of us to be loved and nurtured. I didn’t come to this realization until I felt some type of way as a small business owner in my 30’s and chose to dig deep to bring out the best in me. Then along came ‘grief’ (wish it would have been Polly) and made me realize even MORE so that life is fleeting. Oh so fleeting. Whatever it is your heart is craving to do, to experience, to feel, to begin.. do it. The time is now 💪🏽 #abm #ablissfulmemory #quinceañera #quince #quinceaños #quinces #quincephotography #miamiquinces #weddingphotography #eventphotography #miamiphotographer #southfloridaphotographer #photographerlife #creativephotography #lifestylephotographer #photographerlife #artislife #innerchild #innerchildlove #innerchildhealing #workhardplayharder #shadowsandlight #livelovegrow #healingisntlinear #healingjourney #griefjourney #personalgrowth #theancientspanishmonastery

We can grieve as we move forward & we can move forward as we grieve 🧡 #bts We don't need a lot to be happy, but we do need things that are real. We do need things that grip our hearts and enliven us and make us feel like we are here for a reason, here to experience something that could only be touched by a human body, understood by a human mind, loved by a human heart. When we deny ourselves the authentic experience of being alive, we reach for more when what we really want is not to stretch wider, but to go deeper. Most of our lives operate on unconscious programming and when we experience disruptions in our lives that go against what we’re conditioned to believe, we doubt our feelings rather than be more in tune with them. You have to feel it to heal it. Don't numb or avoid your pain. Feel it. It's going to hurt. But in every moment you're feeling some type of way, you're healing and it’s going to feel so liberating. The only way out is through. Stay safe & dry out there, friends! Happy Friday ☔️

That 9-5 life ain’t my cup tea. You thrive from it? More power to ya✌🏽 ~ Headed to baseball, dark & early.. sun ain’t even up yet 🌞 Been a mini girl boss since 9 when my parents purchased two ice cream trucks driving the streets of Hialeah for years. Later, they started a home based cantina business. Best chefs ever! Young Bets started working a ’regular job’ at 16 (Kids R Us remember that children’s clothing store?) only to realize in my 30’s that it wasn’t the life I wanted to experience, it wasn’t fulfilling enough. And we get no do overs.. Tons of soul searching, inner child healing, unlearning, untangling, unraveling made me realize that the impromptu, spontaneous leap of faith into the unknown path that I took in 2014 departing from the corporate world was one of the best decisions of my life. “mᥡ s᥆ᥙᥣ ᥴrᥲ᥎ᥱs m᥆rᥱ. і ᥲm ᥒ᥆𝗍 mᥱᥲᥒ𝗍 𝗍᥆ ᥣі᥎ᥱ ᥲᥒ ᥆rძіᥒᥲrᥡ ᥣі𝖿ᥱ. і ᥒᥱᥱძ ძі᥎іᥒᥱ s᥆ᥙᥣ ᥒᥙr𝗍ᥙrіᥒg ᥱ᥊⍴ᥱrіᥱᥒᥴᥱs, mᥡs𝗍іᥴᥲᥣ ᥡᥱ𝗍 gr᥆ᥙძіᥒg ᥴ᥆ᥒᥒᥱᥴ𝗍і᥆ns, ᥲ s᥆𝖿𝗍 ᥣ᥆᥎ᥱ 𝗍һᥲ𝗍 𝗍rᥲᥒsᥴᥱᥒძs ძіmᥱᥒsі᥆ᥒs. і ᥒᥱᥱძ ᥲᥣᥣ mᥡ sᥱᥒsᥱs 𝗍᥆ ᑲᥱ gᥱᥒ𝗍ᥣᥡ s𝗍іmᥙᥣᥲ𝗍ᥱძ, і ᥒᥱᥱძ 𝗍᥆ ᥣі᥎ᥱ ᥲ ᥣі𝖿ᥱ 𝖿ᥙᥣᥣ ᥆𝖿 ⍴ᥣᥱᥲsᥙrᥱ ᥲᥒძ mᥲgіᥴ.“ 💫 @phoenix__rising__ Nothing’s impossible. All you dream of becoming, doing, feeling, experiencing and living can be real. In life, you get what you have the courage to ask for. And it’s not selfish, at all. To live fulfilled means being accepting and receptive to things that make you feel more alive, connected, felt, heard, seen, satisfied and understood even when it’s something unexpected or outside your comfort zone. Happy Friday, my beautiful people!

She didn't choose her story. In fact, it chose her 💕 She holds herself together with beautiful composure and magnificent courage. The world thinks she has it all under control, she's almost dying inside at every turn. But that's what separates her from the rest — you'll never see her fall apart. And if you do, you’ll see her pick herself back up. The facade she has mastered is evident to everyone she meets. To all that know her, she's a beacon of glowing darkness, light, hope, and strength. The human that sometimes falls apart behind closed doors is the same smiling face that greets the world every morning. She's so many things ~ warrior, survivor and dreamer. But she's also so much more than that. When all she wants to do is fall apart, she unfurls her wings and flies higher. That's who she is and what she will always be.. A strong human. Authentic, adventurous, resilient, wild and free. This message is for any and every human who has walked through a trail of fire and come out the other end lit up instead of burnt up 🔥 Happy Thursday, kids! #abm #ablissfulmemory #quinceañera #quince #quinceaños #quinces #quincephotography #miamiquinces #weddingphotography #eventphotography #miamiphotographer #southfloridaphotographer #photographerlife #creativephotography #lifestylephotographer #photographerlife #artislife #selflovejourney #livelovegrow #healingisntlinear #griefjourney #loveandlight #shadowsandlight #personalgrowth #ficafarms

Mindful Co-Parenting ::mic drop:: 🎤 KUDOS to this Birth Mom + Bonus Mom. The day of our session was BLISS. The way they showed up so effortlessly and lovingly for their girl, was mind blowing. Because no matter what adults face during the course of their relationships, every child deserves to feel loved, seen and nurtured. They didn’t ask to come into this world but as parents, we get to choose how we show up for them and ourselves. Being a good parent is hard af, no matter what. Once upon a time, I cringed at the thought of relationships ending but after all these years I’ve learned that life is all about evolving and it’s ok to outgrow things and people. More times than not, the secret to change is to focus all our energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new. The only constant in life is change.. so let’s just focus on doing what’s best for the kids, regardless of the cards we’re dealt with.. 💭 #abm #ablissfulmemory #quinceañera #quince #quinceaños #quinces #quincephotography #miamiquinces #weddingphotography #eventphotography #miamiphotographer #southfloridaphotographer #photographerlife #creativephotography #lifestylephotographer #photographerlife #artislife #selflovejourney #livelovegrow #healingisntlinear #shadowsandlight #personalgrowth #ficafarms #coparenting #moms #birthmom #bonusmom #mindfulparenting

Something borrowed. Something blue. 💙 As a parent and mother who carried four hearts (two miscarriages) fully creating and giving life to two, I can wholeheartedly say that our children do not belong to us, no matter how much we try to convince ourselves otherwise. I tried for too many years until I woke up to the reality of our human experience and what it truly means. They are a child of God that we are blessed to bring into this big universe and raise so that they too walk into the world and live a life they desire. Parenting evolves from generation to generation. We learn to unlearn and figure out culture shifts. New ways and beliefs change how raising children is approached. Each generation of parenting is a little different from the last. There’s no timeline to follow, not as children, not as adults. We should expect different things from one another, and we’re all uniquely raised so rather than bash one another for our parenting ways, let’s make it a point to inspire our youth to live a life that doesn’t only look good on the outside but feels really good on the inside. Settling and people pleasing will always be option but doesn’t have to be the one you choose. Life is all about.. Change. Experiences. Evolving. Loving. Letting go. Embrace it because it’s all an illusion, it’s all temporary. As harsh as it may sound or not, we are all going to the same place one day 🫶🏽Happy Wednesday, beautiful people! #abm #ablissfulmemory #quinceañera #quince #quinceaños #quinces #quincephotography #miamiquinces #weddingphotography #eventphotography #miamiphotographer #southfloridaphotographer #photographerlife #creativephotography #lifestylephotographer #photographerlife #artislife #selflovejourney #shadowsandlight #livelovegrow #healingisntlinear #healingjourney #griefjourney #personalgrowth #outgrow #relearn #theancientspanishmonastery #ancientspanishmonastery

Humans are incredibly resilient 🖤 The human ability to 'bounce back' after facing adversity is quite astonishing. Humans can survive & thrive despite their experience of trauma. Some of the greatest teachers on how to navigate resilience are children. For one, my kids have taught me and continue to teach me, more than they’ll ever know. To top it off, I am blessed that my little business connects me with experiences and people that teach me so very much. A philosophy to live by.. I am a student of life, for life.. Although lots of things are figureoutable, not a single human being will ever have it all figured out. So do everything that makes you happy, sets your inner being, heart and soul on fire. Be with who and what makes you happiest. Live & let live. The goal is to live a life you don’t need to escape from because it feels that good, that unreal but, it’s real. 🫶🏽 #abm #ablissfulmemory #quinceañera #quince #quinceaños #quinces #quincephotography #miamiquinces #weddingphotography #eventphotography #miamiphotographer #southfloridaphotographer #photographerlife #creativephotography #lifestylephotographer #photographerlife #artislife #selflovejourney #shadowsandlight #livelovegrow #healingisntlinear #healingjourney #griefjourney #personalgrowth #outgrow #relearn #theancientspanishmonastery #ancientspanishmonastery

But what good is a chance, if you don’t take it.. 🖤 Maybe we’re supposed to meet the wrong one before meeting the right one. Maybe it is true that we don’t know what we have until it’s gone, but it is also true that we don’t know what we have been missing until it arrives. Maybe we should dream what we want to dream, go where we want to go, be what we want to be and with who we want to be cause we only have one life and one chance to do all the things we dream of and desire to do. Life isn’t black and white, so many shades in between. And sure, we’ll likely get plenty of chances but we never know when the last one will be. So. Take the shot. Take the risk. Follow your intuition. Do the unthinkable. Sometimes good things fall apart, so better things can fall together.

7/14/2023, 10:06:58 PM

Take me away.. i wanna feel something 🖤 Isn’t everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more? I believe so. Your desires, passions, talents, opportunities, interests and most importantly instincts — are not random. They draw the blueprint of the person you are meant to be, the life you are meant to live. Desire is a roadmap to the version of you who already has what it is you want. Desire is the key. When we don't heed the call of deep desire, the things within us that genuinely compel and interest and consume and inspire us, not fleetingly, but more intensely over time — we are then met with fate's sister signal, discomfort. The universe whispers until it screams, and if we learn to listen to the small voices telling us in any given moment of every given day what we are meant to do next, we end up buried beneath all of the choices we made out of guilt, out of fear, out of a need to conform to what's around us, rather than reorient our lives to reflect what's within us. To honor our desire is also to be willing to do what it takes to make it a real, living thing. When our desire for something is strong enough, we become more and more willing to endure the discomfort often required to create it and to sustain it 💭

Accept your shadow. Embrace your light. 🖤💡 That means to wholeheartedly feel self compassion and unconditional love for every aspect, cell and fiber within your being. Many of us navigate life feeling ashamed of our 'shadow self'. The part of us that we hide from others, the part of us that we're afraid will be rejected if it's exposed, the part of us that only we know about. We often think of our shadow as being bad, sinful, or unwinnable. The hidden, dark side of the human psyche. Get out your head, we all have a dark side. Shadow work is vital and a lifelong non linear journey of inner alchemy in which we bring those parts to the surface however we choose to, to purify, heal, and integrate into yourself. Your shadow isn't something to be ashamed of or something to hate. It allows us to reflect and pivot, see where we have work to do and where we gotta give ourselves more love. Often we discover a whole new world, who we truly are and how we really want to live our lives.

A portrait isn’t made in the camera. It’s an illusion that pictures are made with a camera.. they’re made with the eye, heart & head 👁️ This may be an unpopular opinion for some but every wedding, event & session is so diverse. You could have pictures taken at the same venue as someone else, and you’ll have a day and gallery that looks completely and uniquely different. You could hire the same florist, MUA, dress, etc.. same thing. You could be super in love with your boo just like the person in the wedding gallery I showed you but your love may be a loud belly laugh in the middle of the ocean instead of a passionate kiss during golden hour. The magical secret to having your timeless memories documented the way you visualize them and even better is ::drum roll please:: YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER!! 🥁🪄 Connect with someone that when you look at their images, you feel some type of way. Someone who captures candid moments, details, forehead kisses and all the laughs. Oh and even someone that slaps a mosquito dead on your forehead. (THAT really happened at this session lol). Choose someone that regardless of the look, theme or location, captures every beat and freezes time, not just traditional ‘smile and look at the camera’ shots but the endless in between moments. That wants to get to know YOU + YOUR STORY so they can better serve you and lastly that has the passion & vision of bringing it all to life through still images 💫 #abm #ablissfulmemory #quinceañera #quince #quinceaños #quinces #quincephotography #weddingphotography #eventphotography #nontraditional #uniqueevents #miamiphotographer #southfloridaphotographer #photographerlife #creativeheart #creativesunite #creativespace

Allow your inner child to play + dance through life this way you feel forever young.. most importantly, young at heart 🫶🏽 Diving into an ocean of editing this week. Endless loads on my plate, so much to do, time flies by and just one little me but, I got this. One moment at a time. Blessed with incredible connections, creatives and humans who believe in what I do and how I choose to do it. I chose to build my own business from the ground up so that I have the freedom to set the rules or not. Besides, it’s always been in my blood to go against the grain. I don’t just see black and white. Never have, likely never will. Life is full of color and shades, it’s important to seek the silver lining in everything. Always start your day with a grateful & humble heart, despite the chaos, challenges, confusion and embrace every moment. Each day above ground is a great day. No matter what.

Look back to reflect on how far you've come 🏁 Look back at where you came from and let yourself feel proud about your progress. No. Matter. What. Challenge yourself every opportunity you can. Step out your comfort zone. What's done is done. What's gone is gone. What's happened has happened. What's meant to be, will be. You see, being human is about embracing the journey of life, divine timing, trusting that our fate and destiny will lead to evolving and ultimate growth. Awaken to the fleeting beauty that is the human experience we are fortunate to live. Keep your eyes, heart and mind cracked wide open. Make your inner child the happiest they have ever been. Leave earth side with immeasurable love and absolutely no regrets. Remember, life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.

One kiss ✨ For years, I’d say things like that’s a ‘broken’ friendship, relationship, marriage, etc.. til’ I realized that it’s not broken, it just doesn’t align whether early on or years of trying, it’s not meant to be, or perhaps it’s a matter of growth and outgrowing the things and people we’re conditioned or pushed to think we need and want. I am a firm believer {we can gracefully agree to disagree} that EVERYTHING happens for a reason. The good. The bad. All of it. All are Godincidences. Life happens for us, not to us. And if I am going to wholeheartedly believe in God, Jesus, Divine Universe and have faith in the mess that is life & humanity, then I humbly choose to believe that he places acquaintances, people, family, friends, strangers, community and opportunities in our path and where we need to be — at just the right time. We’re the imperfect chosen children of God. His grace and love is everlasting. His infinite mercy is incomprehensible mercy. Despite my rebel-ish ways, going against the grain, mistakes, trial & errors, sins and what not, I always find peace within as I give my pieces to our higher power without judging myself, my beliefs, my choices and that of those around me. I accept who I am, come as I am, follow my instincts & heart tugs everywhere they lead and just show up. I love hard. I let go & let God. Close your eyes. Think of all the people and things that set your heart & soul on fire and don’t settle for anything less. Nothing lasts forever, we might as well trust the journey in all its chaos and glory. Enjoy the wild ride that is life and just LIVE 🥂

THAT energy & humans who fell in love with each other's chaos. I am here for it 🤘🏽 Collectively and individually being controlling, depriving or suppressing of one another’s desires, dreams, needs, wants and voice is one of the unhealthiest things we can do for humanity. Contrary to popular belief, marriage should not be to act like or replace a parent, in anyway. 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏, 𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒚, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒚 𝒅𝒊𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕 — 𝒂𝒔 𝒊𝒕 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒃𝒆. Your partner isn’t your child and much less your possession. Don’t tell them what they can and can’t do, that they can’t go out to a specific place, that they can’t hang out with friends, that they can’t do this or that. That’s Elementary school stuff. The motto should always be.. live & let live. I hope you find the kind of love that allows you feel and think freely without judgment or making you feel shame, the kind that never stops saying thank you cause even after a while, they’re still impressed by what you do for them, values you for all that you are and aspire to be, thats your best friend, loudest laugh, cheesiest smile, biggest cheerleader, absolute number one fan & hype man. A love so very deep & passionate because it exists and you deserve it. To love without holding one another back for the mess that we all are, is all you can really ask for in this lifetime 🖤 Kudos to my amazing Associate Photographer for traveling with me to this wedding and capturing it all alongside me! @cristinar.photos #teamworkmakesthedreamwork 🫶🏽 #weddingbliss #weddinginspiration #weddingphotography #countrywedding #lifestylephotographer #bride #groom #wildhearts #loveandwildhearts #wildwedding #intimatewedding #elopement #elope #travelphotographer #labelleflorida #labelle #ablissfulmemory #abm #thisismybliss #livelovecreate #livelovegrow

ᥱ𝖿𝖿᥆r𝗍ᥣᥱss chemistry ❤️‍🔥 Meeting your twin flame will not be a chance encounter but rather your souls will recognize one another no matter what season of life you’re in. This is no ordinary love. You will know it by how you feel because you won't feel that way with anyone but them. A dream like, unreal kind of feeling. A feeling you never knew you needed but you do. Everything feels different, looks different, is different. The connection is so strong and intense it may even scare you.. but you will not be able to ignore it. You just can’t. You come alive around them, when you think of them and the passion you experience is out-of-control almost to the brink of madness. It is the most you have ever felt. You breathe differently since meeting and every cell inside you is on fire, and yet they bring you a kind of peace you have never known. Your entire world is shaken.. and yet you are home ♾️ #intimatewedding #intimateportraits #intimateweddingphotographer #weddingphotography #wedding #weddinginspiration #weddingbliss #weddedbliss #twinflame #outofcontrol #authenticlove #wildhearts #wildlove #wildloveadventures #abm #ablissfulmemory #creative #creativelifestylephotographer #lifestylephotographer #weddingphotographer #timelessmemories #couplesphotography #chemistry #chemistryisfun #organicchemistry #chemistrylover
