I am blessed to do what I love: to view and tell your story and celebrate your relationship in the amazing, traditional/non-traditional, unique, and badass way that it is.
When I'm not behind the camera?
You'll find me baking sweets, traveling the world with my sweet husband (& business partner), or binge-watching Love is Blind and murder documentaries with the babies (my three dogs, one cat, and two parakeets)!
I am absolutely not afraid to fall in love with my couples.
Getting personal with you gives me inspiration. The more I know, the more creative I am in making your love story and photos truly unique.
A non-negotiable for me is making each one of my couples feel comfortable, confident, and (shall I even say, have fun) in front of my camera. I strive to photograph the romance, authenticity, and organic moments while capturing your personalities and love. When you flip through your photos, I want you to relive those moments and feel all the feels. But, not only that, I want you to see the details, people, and events that you didn't even know were happening!
And, hopefully, when all is said and done, I end up with friends for life!
Life is and always has been...
Photos are the one thing you're left with after your wedding day, after someone passes that can be passed down with stories and memories told about that person, and a type of heirloom that can be shared with generations to come. It's timeless. It jogs memories. It brings smile, laughter, tears, and so many emotions all at once.
I am passionate about love and weddings: from the details and bright colors to the real emotions and excitement about celebrating two in love. I remember when I finally figured out that this was what I wanted to do with my life: it was during my college years and a wedding photojournalist came to my class to talk about his career.
The vibrant colors and all the genuine smiles and laughter that radiated off of the photos left me speechless. I wanted to be the person who told love stories through photos, to help people remember moments that can't be repeated necessarily by action but can be relived through images and memories.
To me, my job is everything and to be the person trusted to tell those stories, freeze those moments, and share in the experience and memories ... that's what I am so passionate about and why I love doing what I do. I use my own photos to remember the events that have occurred to me in the past, and to help remind me of the great life I'm living. Photos have always been so important to me, even as a kid. I stole my dad's camera when I was the ripe old age of two and, as I got into middle and high school, I carried a camera around for "just in case" moments.
There was this one time when we took a family vacation to Disney, my camera was broken almost at the very beginning of it. I was absolutely devastated. My mom had to buy me a few disposable ones just to stop me from crying and ruining the whole trip!
I am a thrill-seeker! You can find me sky-diving, snorkeling, motorcycling, etc. any day! We only have one life!
A true adventurer, traveling the world, experiencing new cultures, and eating ethnic foods.
I'm still jamming to the 90's and early 00's music. Music just isn't what it used to be...
My go-to drink is a matcha latte (in cold months) and club soda (in warm months).
I live and breath Disney, Harry Potter, and Lilly Pulitzer!
I am an "adopt, don't shop" kind of fur-mama.
Before we get into this, I want to make sure you know where I stand: Love is love is love. I celebrate all kinds of love and welcome all skin tones, ethnicities, religions, and the LGBTQ+ community.
As the husband who recently tied the knot with my beautiful bride, I just had to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for Naomi's incredible photography services. Naomi captured the most beautiful and intimate moments of our wedding day and creating lasting memories that we will treasure forever. Her warm and welcoming demeanor instantly put us at ease, and we felt like we were talking to an old friend rather than a service provider. She really took the time to get to know us as a couple, understanding our style and preferences so that she could tailor her services to meet our specific needs. On the day of our wedding, Naomi was a calming presence that helped us both stay relaxed and focused on each other. When we received our photos from Naomi, we were absolutely blown away. The images are simply stunning, and they perfectly capture the emotions and joy of our wedding day."
I value your experience and the impact of my art above all things...
So are you ready to get married, have the most fun and stress-free experience with me, and end up with photos that will transport you back to those amazing moments forever (and to pass down to generations to come)?!
