The Little Villa Small Business Matchmaking Event

The first ever Small Business Matchmaking Event at The Little Villa was everything I hoped it could be and more. Laura and Andres, owners of The Little Villa, hosted this invite-only event with a small group of diverse business owners and photographers. In total, I made 6 new business connections, and a new photographer connection as well!

Amanda Rex

I worked with Amanda to capture personal branding headshots for her real estate business, @realtorsaurousrex. I captured a variety of photos both close and wide, and both vertical and horizontal, so that she’d have a photo for all her display needs.

Limoncito Goods

Michelle, the creator behind Limoncito Goods, was a dream to work with. She came prepared with so many wonderful ideas, props and pieces, that we went perhaps a little overboard with her mini session (no regrets here)! She embodies passion for her craft, and was open to my creative direction throughout the session. These were some of my favorite images of the YEAR, honestly!

Shaina Partlow, a health coach for millennial women, was candid, sweet, and an absolute joy in front of the camera. We were able to capture all of these stunning shots in record timing—somewhere between 5 and 10 minutes together!
