Thank you 417 Good Eat'N and Avanzare Italian Dining!

Such a beautiful mother daughter duo inside and out. These two are such sweet ladies, and I absolutely loved witnessing their bond on Heide's wedding day.

I can say that I haven't met a more loving, warm, and tremendously beautiful couple in a long time. Heide and Sean are such amazing people and made me feel like part of their family and loved on THEIR big day! Though this day was definitely about them and their union, their family and friends made this day even more special. These two are so deeply loved, and it shows big time. The entire day was full of laughter, love, dancing, singing, and so much happiness. My time with this couple last month is a wonderful reminder of the good in life. To Heide and Sean, thank you for showing me so much love and making me feel so at ease capturing your big day. May you two have a lifetime of happiness, health, and love together. Please feel free to tag and share these images.

These three are such lovely people and a beautiful family. Happy wedding anniversary to Tosha and Troy, who recently celebrated in their 11th year of marriage in January! Their son Tray is so much fun to be around, and sure made his mom and dad laugh a lot. Tray turned six recently and has grown to have so much personality over the years I've worked with him. I had a wonderful time with you all, and thank you for braving the cold. Enjoy your preview!

These sisters though...

Had to share a few more photos of Hayden from her 7th birthday session! She rocked both the classic white stair case and the downtown scene.
