I'm Belinda, and I'm all about being in the present, cherishing the past, and looking forward to the future.

In today's world, it's not always easy to be in the present, but I try to because one can't relive a moment that’s passed. The present is the most valuable—emotions and feelings stem from how we live in the present which then creates memories for us to cherish.

My fondest memories are family gatherings during the holidays when we would gather around looking at old photographs and sharing all the great stories behind them. I love cherishing the past by creating family photo albums and sharing them with my kids to remind them of all the great moments we've created together. For me, photography is a form of storytelling connecting my kids to my past, present, and future. I capture moments that become beautiful memories reminding us of who we are, what we’ve accomplished, and how we are so blessed.

I like to look forward to the future where I can set new goals to achieve and plan new travels to expose myself to different cultures and food. Most of all, happy thoughts surface when I look forward to my next photo session!
