KODAK MOMENT of the Day

Truth to be told, I detest any type of balloons. I’ve learned that balloons, especially Mylar balloons, are hazardous to our environment. Mylar balloons will never biodegrade, even much more harmful to wildlife and marine life. So, as a Deaf Afro-Latina artist, I decided to make a change. I did my first custom made shoes with pieces of Mylar balloon!

Our park day was rained out, so instead we grabbed some new books from the library and some treats from Starbucks. When we got home Argo made himself comfy in the kitchen with his cake pop and new book. 

This was a few days after I brought my new puppy home. I bought the milestone cards online as I am a beyond proud dog Mom and I have waited a long time for this moment. This is Yoda sat at the front door of his new forever home. 

Went for a spontaneous sunset picnic 

Catch the sweet moment of love.

When it’s 100+ degrees you get to have your first popsicle.. living your best life.. feeling the summer vibes. 

After a small hike into the bush we found this amazing hidden gem called Python Pool inside Millstream Chichester National Park. We were very lucky to have it all to ourselves that morning and we even went back later that afternoon to hike to the top of the waterfall to explore further.

Walking through battersea park in London and came across this cute moment.

we didn't have much when we decided to get married but we had chosen each other and that was the most important thing. we dream of visiting the world together. 

One of the most beautiful moments I experienced in the last few months. My best friends visited me in  Croatia and I took them up to the mount Srđ in Dubrovnik. While they were overwhelmed by the scenery I took my Leica and pressed the trigger. 

We went to Santa Monica first time and I asked my boyfriend to take a pic of me. I will be our moment Forever.

smile life deserves it????

This is a moment that my boyfriend and I hold near to our hearts ! We had such an amazing night out together and we love to document every moment together ! The pure joy in our faces when we get together is worth taking a picture so the moment lasts forever !

I quick snap of my best friend on her wedding day. Caught on my old Nikon N75 with a Nikkor 50mm f1.8 on Kodak Ektar 100

This photo was taken on my mom's birthday weekend. She's so proud of all the flowers she's grown and was so excited for a photo op by this blooming succulent ????????

Poland these days is really hot. Cute and fluffy cats like me are having hard times and need to find a good place to chill and hide from the sun. Can you relate? 

We were getting married after 7 years. We were going to do a fake send off with sparklers. We all got tickled & the shot was just perfect showing our natural unorganized chaotic joy!!!!

A picture of my daughter getting ready to go to story time on a marine base with her play mates. 

Most incredible thing in the world is a happy smiling child! Cousin bonding . 

Beautiful moments by the sea

My favorite human and my favorite place with my favorite film.

This was the high school graduation day of my younger siblings Shawn and Imany. 

They are the youngest of 5 kids (they are twins) and it was a special day not only for my mother but for all of us. 
 

I travelled from Austin, Texas to be able to go home and celebrate with them. 
 

This might be the first time that I’ve recognized that they are no longer babies, they are adults now.

Beautiful May Wedding! 

Warm summer evenings are full of golden light and magic. 

Una parte de nuestro corazón se queda en maligne lake 

Had the opportunity to shoot on the Bigwin recently with one of my favourite people Abigail. I thought I had left the sunset to long and miffed the timing for good light but I am really happy with the results. Dreamy shoot to say the least.

Hike on the Peñon de Ifach at Calpe

The light was so pretty at that moment, and Salem was looking playfully at birds but everything I got close she would look at me.

We were just having coffee, but the light was so beautiful and poetic that I had to capture it. The beauty of life is in the most trivial moments.

This beautiful girl graduated early from her Highschool and so she didn’t get to have the traditional senior photos…but, she knew her Mom really wanted some shots to commemorate such an accomplishment…so we headed to Red Rocks Canyon to see what we could do…all for her Momma!! In a day and age where it can ge all about ME…this young lady wanted it to be about the woman who raised her!!

Vacaciones 

It was beach day at my summer school. I love going to the beach and summer time. Times spent with family and friends is the best. Peace love and happiness. 

We went to ventura pier then I saw a view this very nice and looked into the camera it will be super nice if i take with film and. i told my boy to like this at my ear one 1 sec i asked him are you ready i will ask someone to take a pic of us then we got this pic I will be my memory forever.

Sitting with our best friend watching the sunset

I put a orange ready to eat in the bed. My baby (snow) took it when I noticed. Snow maybe thought it is the good pillow.????

Fam

We (Me and my wife) were astonished by the city. We were there (UAE: Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah for 10 days.

Ain Dubai was our favourite picture spot. I think it is more beautiful than London eye. ????????

Simplicity is real beauty

MastHERpiece a Durham, NC based nonprofit is honored to award 3 scholarships to the class of 2022. These ladies are headed to UNC-Charlotte and NCCU this Fall. 

Last Fourth of July weekend, my husband James (photographed here) and I brought our dog Khloe to my sister’s home where she was introduced to our niece’s puppy, Dolly (also, both photographed here). My husband was acting as an ambassador between the pups and our niece couldn’t have been more delighted by this union! 

*I wrote a meaningful paragraph to go with this, but decided that it would be better to just have the pictures, and the pictures alone to show you instead of me telling you what is already there, and what has changed.

Capturing the beauty in the chaos of parenting.

First day of 3rd grade 

The moment here is a special one taken during a picnic surprise my husband planned for me on my birthday. It’s a special moment to be because it highlights our love which is always filled with happiness and laughter ????

Nothing beats a day of summer by the pool with family and friends. 

Good friends lift each other up! Neil and I met through tiktok at the start of 2021 and quickly became close friends. Early this year, he asked me to be a groomsman in his wedding. Last weekend we met in person for the first time. I flew from Georgia, he flew from Canada, and we met in California to get him hitched. This was the thank you picture we promised to all the friends who contributed to the cost of my plane ticket.

Take time to explore, and sometimes the smallest step in a different direction can be best step you ever take.
