This isn’t about posing or performing.
It’s about the sigh that escapes when no one is watching.
The laugh that surprises you mid-tear.
The silence that says more than any smile could.
Grief isn’t just sorrow —
It’s the echo of their voice in your head.
The way they rolled their eyes when you were being dramatic.
It’s the anger. The guilt. The ache of love with nowhere else to go.
Here, you don’t have to be okay.
You don’t have to explain.
You just get to be — broken, whole, silent, or sobbing.
And through my lens, I’ll help you see what grief often obscures:
that love outlives the body.
That their essence? Still here.
You don’t need more pictures.
You need them.
The way their hand found yours in crowded spaces.
The smell of their skin after the rain.
The way they looked at you when they thought you weren’t paying attention.
Cancun’s ocean, its wind, its light — they’re not backdrops.
They’re witnesses.
To what was said.
To what never got the chance.
To the love that doesn’t fade, only shifts form.
This isn’t about a perfect pose.
It’s about the imperfect, messy, breathtaking truth:
you loved.
You still do.
And that? That deserves to be witnessed.
What you’re really holding onto:
– The sound of their keys in the door.
– Their favorite fragrance… or just their scent, still trapped in fabric.
– The weight of their hand on your shoulder.
– The silence they left behind, louder than anything else.
– The exact way they pronounced your name when they were annoyed — and only they said it that way.
– Their grumpiness. Their teasing. Their contradictions.
– The things you miss. And the things you didn’t know you would.
A powerful portrait doesn’t pretend.
It doesn’t perfect.
It preserves.
What was real.
What was theirs.
What’s still yours.
What we love most stays.
Not in frames.
Not in urns.
But in the way we still reach for them in the dark.
Bring their sweater — the one that still smells like them.
Bring the letter you never sent.
Or bring nothing at all, except your trembling hands and the weight in your chest.
Some families release petals into the sea.
Some raise a glass.
Some simply stand still and let the air say what they can’t.
This isn’t about saying goodbye.
It’s about saying: I see you. I carry you. You still matter.
Come when you’re ready.
Even if ready means you’re drowning.
Even if it means you’ll never truly be.
I’ll be here — to help you trace the outline of what remains.
Because love?
The only thing it ever does is change.
Never disappear.
And neither will we.
