From “I do” to baby number three 💙

I first photographed their engagement, then their wedding, and now each of their three newborn boys. Sessions like this remind me why I love what I do. I get to stay with my clients through every new chapter.

It is such an honor to be invited back again and again to celebrate these milestones.
