With the beginning of a new year we decided to start it off with a fresh new website! We don’t want to forget about 2016 so lets look back at a year of changes and adventures for us. Stefanie moved into her new house and built her in-home salon (she also just announced new full time hours and that she is taking on new clients!). We loved working with each and every client we had this year and getting to be a part of their big days. From engagement sessions, maternity sessions, elopements, weddings and styled shoots we could not have asked for more amazing clients to take us on their journey. We are so looking forward to what 2017 has in store for us!! What better way to celebrate the beginning of a new year than to look back on what made 2016 so special for us. Thank you to everyone who has supported us, our families, friends and clients have made 2016 an incredible year!
We had no shortage of magical winter weddings this year and we loved how each bride styled their wedding for the winter season.
