Esmeralda’s mom knew exactly what she wanted for her 9 month portraits. Since her 9 month milestone fell right around Halloween, what cuter way to capture this Halloween 9 Month Milestone Session than dressing Esmeralda up as a lady bug and a trick or treater? The cuteness from this session was unbearable! Esmeralda gave us […]

Woodstock has a population of about 5,000 so it’s very rare that I have the opportunity to come back to Woodstock for a wedding. Jess and Marty shared their wedding day vision and I […]
