I have known Melissa for over half of our lives – she became one of my sister’s best friends waaaay back in the day and she’s been a really special person (along with her family) to my entire family. She is one of the few people in the world whose wedding I would happily photograph […]

This motherhood studio session was a part of a giveaway I teamed up with some amazing ladies for, and I couldn’t love these images more!
