There’s something beautiful about a proposal that happens in a place you love. It becomes more than a memory—it becomes *yours.*
The spot where it all began.
The day everything shifted in the best possible way.
So grateful I got to be there to witness it.

Six months. That in-between place.
Still tiny, but suddenly sitting up.
Still baby, but full of personality.
These sessions are quiet little time capsules—
before the crawling, before the running,
before they’re off to chase the world.

Big smile. Little boots.
The kind of joy you don’t have to pose.
She wasn’t trying to be anything but herself—
and that’s exactly what makes this magic.
