Lacey + Jordan  Write up “Be with someone who makes adventures out of late night trips to the grocery store. Be with someone who mindlessly reaches over for your hand while they drive.

It does wonders for skin; smoothing and brightening, you get epic mistakes and you learn how to create light leaks and streaks […]

Bring on the chaos. If there is one thing I want you to know about me and family sessions, it’s to not worry about how your children are acting that day. If they are grumpy or sad we can work with it, heck more snuggles for Dad. If they are wild and crazy I will […]
