One of the things I think is most worth it is professional photos. Consider this your sign to book a photo shoot with your senior dog.

A huge thank you to @samanthasickels for capturing Boris in all his fluffy, hammy glory. He absolutely loved being the center of attention (unlike his diva little brother)

And yes I made myself cry picking a song for this

10/10 recommend taking the time on a fall day to take photos either your old dog.

Especially when he loves the camera 😅 by @samanthasickels

Sometimes, those small moments are the ones that mean the most 🕊️☁️

H & B came up to Madison to elope at the Capitol with their closest family, but the love and support that surrounded them completely filled the room. I simply love being welcomed into such intimate and meaningful celebrations and will never take it for granted.

Glitter on the dance floor is ALWAYS a good idea 🪩✨ by @samanthasickels

Just a few of my favorite moments and details from Jordan & Peyton’s day. What a true honor to witness the love and support that surrounds these two. I’ll simply never get over the fact that documenting such special connections is my job.

Who says your engagement photos can’t be romantic AND fun? Going into your engagement session with no expectations, just ready to kiss a lot and soak in this time is something I encourage all of my couples to do. I know you can’t wait to be married, but being engaged is pretty cool too ☁️🫶🏻 by @samanthasickels

FOREVER YOUNG ☁️🌼🥂

Siena & Derek (finally) tied the knot after meeting on the bus in high school years ago. With their besties by their side (and ones who were on the bus with them), they promised forever by the pines on a perfect summer day. The intention put into their relationship was so clear on their wedding day, and it reflected off of the people they surrounded themselves with. Cheers to the Youngs!
