Coconut Vibes

Sunshine, palm trees and good vibes was all I had in mind when I thought about my ideal baby shower. It was like an image imprinted in my head. All I wanted was to celebrate the pending birth of my baby girl with some of my closest friends. And I wanted to do it in […]

Meet Miya

Who would’ve thought that my body would be able to house such a miracle? Not too long ago, I was sitting on my exercise body ball while working from home in eager anticipation of my baby girl’s arrival. After I had been to the doctor that weekday morning, I had discovered that my cervix was dilated […]

Unexpected: My Bajan Beach Maternity Photoshoot

What if I told you that I haven’t been home for over 10 years? You’d probably laugh and say, ‘You’re kidding, right?‘ But I’m not.

I couldn’t believe that I had just been asked to collaborate with one of my favorite companies. It felt like a dream! In fact, it still feels […]

The Art of Dressing

How in the world do you get your husband to dress so stylishly? Well isn’t that the million dollar question lol! If you’ve been reading for a while, or following me on Instagram, you’ve probably seen my husband featured in many of my photos. Plus I’ve been giving his outfits of the day shout outs […]

Reminiscing, Romance & Back To School

August is the Sunday of summer. That’s what Ellen DeGeneres tweeted approximately two years ago as the month of July came to a close. And she’s pretty much right. The beginning of August is an undeniable announcement of the dawn of a new season. The local fair starts in town, and kids of all ages […]
