Days like this make it absolutely impossible to pick my favorites.


Rain was on the radar all day, but somehow it cleared just in time and turned into the absolute loveliest afternoon. The energy was unmatched from the second I arrived.

I truly couldn’t be more honored to have documented this chapter for the sweetest humans. What a dream. I love my job!
