After losing my son, those undocumented memories have made me understand the power of photography and capturing the moment to sacredly remember those cherished times forever.
Since, God has placed it on my heart to joyfully give families a way to reflect back on their precious memories.
life is full of seasons and sacred, fleeting moments where you realize time has flown by without tangible memories to reflect back on.
