Let’s hold onto this season—just a little longer.

There’s something special about seeing your love story preserved in a tangible, lasting way. This black-and-white film photograph, taken on my vintage Rolleiflex, was captured with intention—one slow, meditative frame at a time. The way the light sparkles through the trees, the quiet intimacy of the moment—it all feels timeless.

Photographs aren’t just memories; they’re heirlooms. They deserve to live beyond a screen, to be seen and felt every day. A framed print transforms your space, grounding it in love and meaning.

If you’ve been waiting to print your images, consider this your sign. Let’s create something beautiful for your home.

Valentine’s Day is a beautiful reminder that love is everywhere—not just in the grand gestures, but in the quiet, everyday moments. The way your partner reaches for your hand. The laughter shared over morning coffee. The hugs that feel like home.

I feel so lucky to spend my days capturing love stories—on wedding days, in cozy homes, in golden fields, and in the little in-between moments that make life so special.

However you’re celebrating today—with a partner, with friends, or simply by loving yourself—I hope your heart feels full. 💛

Happy planning! 😌

Laura & Mark’s courthouse elopement was a day full of love and little moments of magic. They got ready in their home with their sweet elderly cat, Bam Bam (their lively Burmese mountain dog), and their adorable 8-month-old daughter. 🐾👶

Their vows were exchanged in the quiet hallway of the courthouse on the 15th floor, surrounded by city views and so much emotion. After a few portraits around town, they headed back home to get cozy and enjoy an intimate celebratory dinner together. 💕

Sometimes, the simplest days are the most meaningful. Here’s a peek at their beautiful beginning. 🌿
