Feel free to cozy up with your favorite beverage (if you're like me, then maybe it's an espresso over ice with a splash of cream, or a warm matcha latte if it's cold outside!) and stay awhile. This is my place to share not just beautiful weddings or sessions, but to share my life. My hope is through this, you'll get to know a bit more about me and all the beautiful people that make it worth living!

Urdaneta | Alberta Tapas Restaurant | PDX Food Photography

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I’ve never had food quite like it. You see, it’s more than just food. It’s more than just a restaurant. It’s more than just a meal. It’s an experience. It’s memorable. It’s special. It’s a place you will walk away from continuing to talk about. It’s a place you will […]
