I’m going to let her tell you their story in her own words. Being that my parents area major interracial couple, it meant a lot to me to use them as a couple. 😭♥️ She was just a girl who chose love over everything even family...
—
“We both talk about the first time we remember laying eyes on each other because as absolutely cheesy as it sounds, it felt like our souls connected instantly. It only took a few weeks after we met for him to tell me he loved me. 💋

About a year ago, I decided to pursue my dream of making it on my own in Paris and he supported me 100% even though he could not come with me. On Valentine’s Day this year, I got a knock on my door in Paris and it was him. He had showed up and planned a boat ride on the seine river for me. 🤟🏼
—
He is my best friend and my family. The moments we spend just lounging with each other in the house that we built together mean more than anything to me. 🍁

But, it’s not all sunshine. Unfortunately, being an interracial couple has been a huge issue for us. There were certain moments that I’ve had to face the possibility of choosing him over my family. We have deep rooted struggles, but I know that what we have is once in a lifetime. Something to truly hold onto and fight for. In 10 hours, I’ll land in Detroit and he’ll be waiting for me at the airport- and that makes me happier than anything in Paris ever could.” ✨😭🙏🏼

We chased the sun going down and when we found it, we danced baby! ⛅️
.
Another wedding delivered and I am so so so happy cuz my migraine is getting smaller by the minute 😅 is y’all have a second pray for ya photographer 🙏🏽
.
Happy Monday guys! Let’s get to grinding. And if you want some inspiration + motivation check my stories OKURRR? 💪🏽🔥

Because it’s their anniversary and this bridesmaid shot will always be a fave-a-fave. 🍂🍁
.
Are you feeling the fall vibes with me? Where’s my cider + donuts at? 🍩🥃

🤭 Jealousy. 🤭
Its a word that has such a bad taste in my mouth.
I can’t keep silent so I’m gonna address it. 👀
Anyone’s success is not YOUR FAILURE. I repeat, Anyone’s success is not YOUR FAILURE. 🙅🏽‍♀️
—
Why do I say this? Because, we need a constant reminder to address the haters out there & within ourselves. 🤭
—
It’s so easy to spend all day on social media and compare and be bitter, but, let me tell you something. It takes GUTS to succeed. It takes GRIT to achieve so instead of wallowing in pity,
👉🏼 GET OUT THERE AND CHANGE IT. 👈🏼
—
Sometimes we make excuses but, when we just run for our passion & run for the very thing we KNOW we should be doing, we succeed. 🏃🏻‍♀️💨
And I want to see more healthy competition and less haters in the internet. 🤯 💯
—
Let’s make that a Friday challenge, believe in each other. Lift each other up, and succeed TOGETHER. There’s always room at the table, and if there isn’t I will personally get another chair. 🤝🤗

💥 If you wanna hear more check my stories cuz I break it all down there. The best part about this photo is it was at Macy’s 🤣. Stay real guys & enjoy your weekend, cuz I’m out 🤟🏽♥️💥

Ok so I didn’t get the chance to brag on my couple Tuesday. 🤟🏽♥️ Like he was literally whispering vegetables in her ear + she laughed so hard she nearly fell. Photo op ✨

.
You can choose to be happy + choose to be grateful. Or you can choose to be negative and only see terrible outcomes. 🤭
.
Well, I choose to take it one day at a time, because it’s all we can do right? 💯
.
And instead of freaking out and running around the house in my fur hoodie screaming how cold it is + my house poop situation (yeah check my stories) 👋🏼🙄

I will squeeze Ella and we will watch Elmo for the billionth time and learn how to ride in a car with Mr. Tank LOL. ♥️

Having some real girls by your side is everything on your special day. It’s like having a free cheer squad right? 🖤

My clients are models. Like literally in this case, but, still it isn’t fair. Hold on a second let me just fangirl over them 😭♥️
