“And most of all, never ever lose that big personality.” Kim wiped away a tear as she finished reading Ben’s letter. A tear that she had fought back as she read page after page of him professing his love, loyalty, and respect for her. That single tear was the perfect symbol of this exciting, overwhelming moment as they prepared to say their marriage vows and unite their lives forever.

This family is the epitome of joyful. I have known Joni, their vibrant mom, for many years after working together at my first job. She is warm, energetic, positive, and inspiring. In the time since I decided to go full-time with my own business, she has been a true mentor to me.

I got to meet Elvira and her parents Paige and Brian one quiet Sunday morning in their beautiful, sunlight-filled home. From the obvious care taken to decorate her nursery to the way her parents gaze at her with the sweetest grin, it is clear “Vera” is the apple of their eye and the center of their hearts.

It’s here! Part III! If I had to choose, I’d say this was my favorite part of Jessica’s brand shoot. No, my favorite was the cherry blossoms.. no, the time in her apartment (coming soon!). I love them all.
