Surprise: to strike with a sudden feeling of wonder or astonishment, especially by being unexpected. These days it is not easy to surprise people. Especially when it concerns something life-changing.

The sun peaked through a thin veil of clouds. The flowers bloomed brightly and the water trickled down the stream into the pond. It was the perfect setting for engagement pictures. Emily and Logan were glowing in the evening sun and their loving smiles matched its beauty. But what I loved most about the session […]

Graduation, a time to look back on your achievements and all of the obstacles you have overcome to pursue your dreams.
