Publication in dsm Magazine

Updated: Oct 9, 2023

Earlier this year, dsm Magazine reached out because they were interested in featuring my work in an upcoming issue. It threw me for a lil loop - I was honored. I had the perfect idea - a recent 10-yr vow renewal I had done with the beautiful Fred & Ashley Garrin, and their babies. Everything was on point - from the location to the style to the colors.


There's also another VERY important reason why I chose this - to highlight the work of other local Black businesses that worked to pull Ashley's look together! I'm listing them below. They deserve SOOOO much credit!


This is my FIRST published work, and I can't thank dsm Magazine enough for wanting to feature it! God is always on time.
