I love this family and this session so much I could just…BURST!  But I will try to pull myself together 😉  We had so much fun walking the Clear Creek trails, finding the best spots to reflect all the love of this season: of the year and of their lives. I felt so very honored to […]

We wrapped up this session by heading down to the water to grab a few more shots for their baby-moon keepsake collection. I’m so grateful I was able to work with these two love birds, and know their little baby bird is one of the lucky ones…
