{Wedding Album Design Review}

Hello! I wanted to share with you the design of your album! If there are any comments, major changes or photo swaps, please let me know!

** quick note about photos and spreads. The album includes 20 spreads and we are currently at 26 spreads. This means we are 6 spreads over at $40 per spread. I wanted to present it to you this way first and let you make the decision of taking out certain spreads or trimming things down if you would like to.

I hope you love it, enjoy!

PS. I have made sure no faces are in the centerfold. 🙂

The best family portraits feel like home.
Not stiff. Not staged. Just the way you really are together.
The way your child fits perfectly in your lap. The way your partner reaches for your hand without thinking.
These are the in-between moments that say the most.
Because home isn’t a place—it’s a feeling. And that’s exactly what I want your portraits to reflect.

Because sit still and smile is not in their vocabulary
And honestly? I wouldn’t want it to be.
The laughter mid-air, the tiny toes kicking, the wild beach breeze—that’s the magic.
These aren’t just photos of your kids behaving… they’re memories of them being.
Because years from now, you won’t miss the perfectly posed moments—you’ll miss this.

Real life is way more fun than perfect poses
Because the truth is—your kids probably won’t sit still.
They’ll make silly faces, run in opposite directions, or collapse into giggles just when you were hoping for that one perfect shot.
And honestly? That’s exactly what I want to capture.
The real smiles. The chaos. The snuggles. The way your toddler leans into you when they`re tired, or how your baby clutches your finger like it’s the most important thing in the world.
That’s the good stuff. And those are the moments you’ll actually want to remember.
