Officially wrapping up 2025! 🎉 

Going back through my 2025 sessions, I am reminded of all the fun times I had with my amazing clients!  Forgive me for not doing an official recap of all of those great sessions.  This winter has been a difficult one, and I am just now getting back into business mode.  Looking forward to sharing some sessions that I’ve had recently, and my books for spring and summer are now open!  PS: note to self to take more videos when it’s cold out 🤣

Engagement session in the 🌨️

This couple had their engagement session planned for last Saturday, and it turned out to be the coldest day.  As soon as we arrived the blowing snow started, but we managed to get these beautiful images anyway!  I love the photos so much, congrats to the couple! ❤️
