Holland and Dee havee the most beautiful style, and the BEST taste in locations. We spent the evening at The […]

My LAST portrait session of 2020…SO CRAZY!!! I have one more wedding left and my entire year is finished out. It feels like it flew by but dragged on forever all at the same time. Raegan’s senior session was such a FUN way to end out the year!! Her dad is friends with my dad, […]
