Your art is not about how many people like your work your art is about if your heart likes your work if your soul likes your work it’s about how honest you are with yourself and you must never trade honesty for relatability - {@rupikaur_} (at Lake in the Hills, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtZRnGDlpIP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wwsen1trx3k

Sneak peek from my first engagement shoot on Saturday! I purposely made these all B&W because they are just a preview for now until I actually get to edit the photos throughout the week! It’s extremely difficult for me to look at these without getting super giddy and wanting to tear up😭. Seeing the real love between my cousin Dominique and her fiancé Bhinder melts my heart because you can see how happy they are by the way they look at each other and laugh together. 🖤💍🖤 (at Kenosha Wisconson) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtMXkRDFkbg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=26s56rcfej4

3 years ago today I got my favorite tattoo (well, favorite next to my camera tattoo!). I got a yin yang ☯️ to remind me to keep my balance & that life is all about balance. There will always be good in the bad, and bad in the good. That’s why life is a balance. And of course the sun, the moon, and the stars because we’re all made up of star dust and we are all a part of this incredible universe. I wanted it to be celestial not only because I have ALWAYS been fascinated by the sky, the sun, the moon, and the stars, but also because I wanted something to remind me that when I feel like my problems are the biggest issues happening, there’s a whole universe out there that’s way bigger than any one of us. I love my tattoo so much and love that I get to look down at it on my arm everyday. 🌟 🌟 Side note: after I got the tattoo, I looked up what phase the moon was in the day I was born and IRONICALLY it was a waxing crescent and that just so happened to be the exact moon phase I had tattooed on me! I got chills when I discovered this because everything happens for a reason and I honestly didn’t even plan that out! #namaste #findyourbalance #yinyang (at Ink Link Tattoos & Piercings) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtMDfBllkjo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n29poxt4gwiz

Yesterday, Sunday, my mom and I went downtown Chicago to spend the day at the Adler Planetarium. 🌙✨💫 It ended up being a beautiful day in Chicago and I had a really nice time walking around the planetarium with my momma💕 I’m so grateful for days like this.

Did I know you once in another life? Are we here just once, or billion times? Well, I wish I knew, but it doesn’t matter. Cause you’re here right now, and I know what I feel 🌈 ✨Oh, what a world✨ { @spaceykacey🌹 } (at The Adler Planetarium) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtL7CW7FW73/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=an96bisdz0xj

Saturday was a very exciting day for me! My cousin and her fiancé asked if I would take their engagement photos, to which I said “ABSOLUTELY” immediately! 😊 The reason it is so exciting for me is because this was my FIRST ever engagement photo shoot! 💍💖 I am so grateful to continue moving forward and grow in my photography, as well as being grateful to my cousin and her fiancé for giving me this opportunity! It was absolutely my pleasure to take your photos and I seriously can’t wait to get them edited and uploaded this week! 📸 📸 Shoutout to my other cousin @astangas for taking all of these #BTS pics of me in action doing what I love more than anything, taking pictures 📸🥰 (at Kenosha Wisconson) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtL2rO5FBpu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7qdw5cq9k2oa

Had such an amazing time cracking up at some real talent Tuesday night at @thesecondcity Chicago! Ever since I heard about Second City and how soooo many comedians and SNL stars started out here, I’ve wanted to come! It just so happens that someone I knew from high school is on stage there 6 nights a week and she was incredible! (Go check out her page!! @suburbanblckgrl) Everyone should go if they get the opportunity because you will not regret it! We even got to go behind stage and check things out after the show! Such a cool experience I’ll never forget! 😊😊🎭😂🤣 (at The Second City) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtC9pfTlSWf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l46pjatndhnw

You can find me somewhere in between inspiring others, working on myself, dodging negativity, and slaying my goals ⚔️✨😌☯️ • • • Couldn’t choose between the two so had to go with both bc that glow in the first pic🔥, but I’m also a sucker for B&W portraits. 🙃📸 (at Lake in the Hills, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtC7bF-Fyb7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=57hs8sa16w3g

This is something I try to teach myself and learn every day at least a little at a time. Self discipline can be difficult if you haven’t learned from a young age. Anyone can do it, you just have to want things bad enough for yourself and work on and toward them!!

I went to work with mom today but to get my own business done 👉🏼📸💻 I’m making a point to spend more time on the few things I’m most passionate about and actually moving forward with those passions, visions, and dreams. I know I love photography, and I love people, but now is my time to find my true meaning. There is a major shift happening lately that I can feel in my physical body and soul and I cannot stay stagnant any longer in some parts of my life. Now is the time for change and growth and stepping WAY out of my comfort zone. (at Naperville, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtBsnwjl9eV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=peevmtrjk0pj

Another after & before edit because I also love everything about this shot! 📸 I love the pose, the angle, the look, the style, the color/neon, the lines, etc. I’m really loving how creative I have been able to get with these series of photos of the strong, fierce and beautiful women I took photos of at Vee Quiva Casino & Hotel. Much, much more to come still from this shoot! ☺️✨ (at Vee Quiva Casino) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs8cdsBFRMe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mamqmdgq2mqp

“Oh honey, don’t worry about being merely beautiful. Be bold. Be wild. Be strong. Be confident. Be independent & intelligent. Be fierce. Be brave enough to be real in this fake world. Redefine beauty.” -{Brooke Hampton} 🌀💎🦋🛄 (at Vee Quiva Casino) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs8b402FHUh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ca2j8ajz8yzq
