Every year, I purpose my time to document the happenings of December. Christmas is, to me, the most meaningful holiday of the year and cultivating purpose and tradition with my kids is high on my list. Plus…there is just so much fun stuff going on!

When she first contacted me, I had my mind made up that I would not be taking clients here. I had my reasons and they were sound BUT…there are just so many beautiful people, untold stories and amazing places to see here that I could not NOT photograph them. It had been a bit of […]
