It’s always such a pleasure to photograph friends and clients around the world and capture some of the milestone moments of their lives.
2020 has definitely been a rollercoaster of emotions and surprises, and I am so grateful that I not only got to marry the most wonderful and attentive woman I ever met, but I am also celebrating the upcoming arrival of my first child and the beginning of a new chapter in my life…
Since we are doing our best to remain healthy during these dire times, we avoided friends and families during the thanksgiving weekend and drove around the Southwest for a few days, stopping at incredible landmarks along the way, such as Sedona (AZ), Monument Valley (UT), Valley of Fire (NV) and Joshua Tree (CA)… We avoided hotels and restaurants by sleeping in a minivan and cooked on a camping stove on the side of the road, and we were lucky enough to be able to gaze at the stars through the moonroof of the car while trying to stay warm in the autumnal nights of the high deserts.
We took in the beauty of the nature surrounding us, we hiked a bit and laughed a lot, we shared stories and wandered around, we drove for hours yet it always felt like home, we were inspired again and hopeful for the future, and we captured each moment on camera to show our kid in the future.
I was so ecstatic that the dazzling landscapes and the gorgeous weather ended up being the perfect backgrounds to shoot my radiant partner in crime, and I am so delighted to share some of my favorite shots with you.
And of course…. I can’t wait to be a daddy! ;)
