One thing I truly love about social media is the capacity it has to bring people together and to meet individuals who share the same passions as I do. Through instagram, I had the privilege of meeting Maria Buda who is such a beautiful soul. Maria is a photographer and her company is called Buda Photo. Her work is amazing and it is clear she truly loves what she does. Maria is a kind, patient, and genuine person and I can not thank her enough for capturing so many great moments. http://www.budaphoto.com

In this day and age, we are always on our phones taking pictures that get stored away and maybe never even printed. I really love having photos that tell a story and that are not always planned and thought out. Here are some of the moments Maria captured for us. The first shoot we did was of myself, unplanned but the pictures turned out great. The second shoot was in my home with my family.

I try to make every experience in my life a learning experience. Through this experience I realized that we are constantly on our phones taking pictures, but most the time those pictures have no deep meaning or story. We spend our time taking photos that never get printed and that end up staying on a phone or computer. I am so happy we had the opportunity to do this shoot together, these moments are the moments that are real and true to who I am and who my family is.
