Engagement

Yes, this is an engagement session post, but it’s also a love letter to me and my husband’s closest friends. Get your tissues ready.  As I was putting these images together for the blog, I was struck with a realization: these were taken in 2018, which means it has been four years since I met […]

I absolutely loved doing this in-studio lifestyle newborn session with the Rugo family. This beautiful family had so much fun, and their toddlers’ laugh was so contagious.
