Hi there, I'm Bonita!
I'm a Converse wearing gal who loves animals, fashion, coffee, movies, good conversation, art, (obviously photography), and a shared laugh. I've been photographing weddings, portraits, and children since 2011.
I think of photography as way to preserve memories but also as a way to express unique personalities and stories. When I'm working, I strive to capture moments that encompass many things. Moments that are perfectly imperfect, humorous yet beautiful, real and touching. Photography is truly my passion and life is art, so let's make some art. I look forward to meeting and working with you!
xo, Bonita

I love animals, especially my own!
I have always been an animal lover, totally crazy for them. I have two amazing pups! Etta is a twelve-year-old rescue, who is part Chihuahua and Rat Terrier, and maybe a few other breeds! Miles is an eight year old Decker Rat Terrier. They both have very distinct personalities, and I can’t imagine life without them!

Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.

Can't live without:
Cashmere and Converse
Life isn’t perfect but I think Cashmere may be.
I have always loved timeless classics that are sophisticated, comfortable, and effortless.
Cashmere embodies all of these things, and my closet is full of it!
I have been wearing Converse sneakers since the first time I was able to pick out my own shoes.
Recently, and reluctantly, I parted with a pair that walked a whole decade of my life with me! Converse sneakers are a perfect combo of vintage and current, and they will for forever be in style!

ⓐ Black coffee

My ideal Saturday morning:
Coffee and cuddles
Coffee, well what can I say about coffee?
I love coffee and everything about it! I love the taste, the smell, how it looks, and even the culture that surrounds it! Coffee house on a cloudy day with a good book, yes please!
Most recent book I read: not really a book but worth a quick read, over and over~
The Little Frog's Guide to Self-Care
