Remember, there doesn't have to be a special occasion for you to have your portraits taken, but if you need one there are plenty of reasons why, so don't wait any longer. Portraits make great gifts and capture a special time in your life no matter when it is, even if there is no occasion! ;-)

I am so excited to finally share this post with everyone! This was the inspiration shoot for Aldo and mine holiday card and I have to say it is by far my favorite. Joy and Cory were our lovely couple and were so sweet together. Jen of Nunn Better Design styled our gorgeous duo and Gianna of Chic Celebrations worked her magic on bringing everything together. Susie Chhour did make-up and hair and Calligraphy by Katrina did the beautiful cards for the camera labels. I love everything about this love session. The film and lace strips, cute frames and display of cameras. Joy + Cory are so cute and were perfect match for this inspired shoot! Check out our feature on Ruffled!

It has been an exciting month, so be sure to stay tuned for more posts! And if you liked this post wait until you see the wedding shoot that was inspired by this session! Amazing!
