Before the excitement of tomorrow, Christmas Eve is for slowing down. Snuggles, laughter, and holding onto the people who mean the most.

The day before Christmas Eve feels a little like this—lighthearted, close, and full of laughter. Black & white moments that say everything without saying a word.

Getting the whole family together isn’t easy—but it’s worth it. Sunset, sand, laughter, generations all in one frame. These are the portraits that become part of your family history.
