A year ago, God placed the most beautiful blessing into our arms 🌈🤍

Our rainbow baby, our answered prayer, our Victoria.
Thank you, Jesus, for every laugh, every milestone, and every moment we get to love her.

Happy first birthday to our sweet girl ✨

POV: your photographer sends your gallery and you’re sobbing at how beautiful you and your babies look 🥹🤍
This is why I do what I do. Motherhood deserves to be documented — not just the milestones, but you, present, in the frame, with your people.
Motherhood Minis in Sacramento and I have just a few spots left. These sessions go fast and I don’t want you to miss it. 🌸
Book through the link in my bio 💕
