Branding || Karina

I swear I’ve been keeping up with photography while I’ve been in DC, I’ve just been too busy to post! Now that I am T-minus one week away from moving back home, I guess it’s time to get back in the groove. What better way to re-introduce myself than with photos of one my dear friends who also took a leap to leave her firm job to embark on a new adventure as a psychedelics lawyer! Karina was looking for new photos that looked fierce, colorful, and fun. I think we delivered.

Engagement || Elizabeth & Diego

I met Elizabeth in La Raza Law Students Association at Berkeley Law. She was a year ahead of me and always shared tips and tricks on how to survive in law school. I will never forget how she saved my sanity in Spring semester of my 1L year by lending me her copy of “A Happy Guide to Contracts."

This past summer Elizabeth and her partner Diego got engaged (!!) and I was honored when she asked me to take her engagement photos. The original idea was to go to Land’s End at sunrise to catch the beautiful blue and pink hues rising about the Pacific Ocean. It ended up not working out so when we rescheduled for April at the UC Berkeley Botanical Gardens I was skeptical. I had been to the gardens several times and most of the plants were dead, the environment was general gray, so imagine my surprise when after an hour of shooting these were the results!

I am so happy with how these photos turned out. They give off tropical vibes, are so bright and sunny, and completely fit within my aesthetic. I am so excited for these too and hope that they love the photos as much as I do!
