Desiree & Damian decided on forever in December, 2014. They decided to elope and it was a very intimate day at their new home. Their living room was set up so beautifully for their immediate family to watch the two say their vows by Jennifer from Tufts & Toile. They had the cutest little wedding cake...
Every year, I create space for families to slow down, step into the frame, and be seen and loved exactly as they are. These Spring Mini Sessions aren’t just about photos - they’re about connection. About remembering this season of life, exactly as it feels.
Because if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that time moves fast. One moment, they’re reaching for your hand, needing you for everything. The next, they’re off - growing into themselves, their laughter still echoing, but their hands no longer as small in yours.
Let’s press pause. Let’s create something you can hold onto.
