Sharing some of our favorite photos from our maternity session with the talented Valentina Glidden. Getting the chance to take these meant so much to us as a family. When I was pregnant with Gatlin, I was hospitalized at 23 weeks unexpectedly, so we did what we could and took some portraits of us and […]

The bouquet featured Quicksand and Wabara Loli roses, and lisianthus […]

Olivia & Geoffrey are actually getting married in […]
