PHOTO JOURNAL
Most treasured moments are never captured by the camera or posted to social media platforms. They are often kept private and cherished collectively by the people experiencing the love. This journal is a small peek into a few treasured moments that I have been lucky enough to capture. It’s an amazing gift to share little bits and pieces of their hearts with you and an honor to have photographed them. I hope you take the time to explore this body of work and find inspiration of your own.
