Family travel is great, but let’s not glamorize it

One of the most beautiful things about travel, and the stories about the same is the authenticity of it, especially when it comes to traveling with our kids.

Reflecting back on 2014, with gratitude

As I sit here amidst work documents, holiday wrapping paper, and cards from friends, my teen is at the mall where he drove himself to go holiday shopping. This is where my life is now. No matter what else is happening around me, these changes happening in my fam[...]

A day in photography, and a glimpse of Small Town A day in photography, and a glimpse of Small Town America. 

From Dairy Day in Dryden, NY to Pride and Protest in Corning, NY. One thing is certain - we all just want to live our lives and be happy doing so. And while what that joy looks like is different for everyone, we all deserve the right and freedom to do so without fear or intimidation.

Today we are out on assignment doing photography w Today we are out on assignment doing photography work. Top of mind for us are all the protests that will be happening across the country against the illegal and violent attacks against Americans and Black and brown immigrants alike. May they be kept safe from harm and may their voices stay strong and loud. 

¡Viva mi gente! ✊🏾

What? Procrastination, who? Of course I am finishi What? Procrastination, who? Of course I am finishing all my work on this stunning, warm and beautifully sunny Friday!
When I recorded this video…in the start of Septe When I recorded this video…in the start of September 2024…I was still too afraid to say what I wanted out loud, which was to open my own little cafe. In fact, I would only admit that I wanted to simply learn the craft, and @travisjcain would kick start that journey for me (seen here), that would eventually give me the courage to pursue more formal training, which eventually gave me the confidence to start my own little café pop-up, @cafecomodony, 9 months later. 

This version of me couldn’t fully see it being more than a silly little thing (she’s been wanting for decades), and could never have dreamed of being where she is now.

I have worked very hard and have committed many long hours to training and learning, with very little sleep, and all of my savings, to realize this moment. 

But, I am living a literal dream come true.☕️✨I am doing it y’all! ✨

Please follow Café Cómodo, and once there, sign up for our newsletter for updates on where we will pop-up next, please consider us for your next wedding, gathering, and private event…and thank you to everyone who has showered us with support and friendship throughout this journey. 🥰 If you have experienced us already and liked what you’ve seen and tasted, please spread the word! Thank you! 🙌🏾

I started the day sitting in the sun sipping on a I started the day sitting in the sun sipping on a cafecito, then spent time with my guys while planning our summer vacation over brunch. I later took a nap, and as this amazing rain falls, I am making my family a hearty Dominican meal.

My life is kinder, easier, and softer because of the immigration choices my family made before me. Because at some point, they sewed someone’s clothes (my abuela as a seamstress in the Fashion District), or fixed someone’s electrical appliances (my grandfather in Brooklyn), or cleaned someone’s house or office, or cooked someone’s food (my tias and tios). 

Because of their labor and sacrifices, I get to work for myself, with experience I gained from a college education all the way to a Master’s degree. I get to dream bigger, and bolder, with more courage and confidence. My children get to as well. 

But make no mistake, I am the daughter of immigrants, very proudly so. My language is Spanish first, the core of my culture is Latinx. 

I was born here, but I am not so far removed from my culture to be from here. And so anything I bring to others, through my work or my friendship is born from there…and if it benefits you, then you are benefiting from what an immigrant can bring when given the freedom, respect, safety, and opportunity to exist and thrive. 

My heart goes out to all in my community and beyond suffering through the abuse, racism, and discrimination. This is shameful to this country and all its people. And we should all unite against it.
Life has been a LOT lately, and I am indulging in Life has been a LOT lately, and I am indulging in it. 

Especially enjoyed this recent walk through town as a storm slowly brewed. 

It felt lovely.
