Kristina and I met over a year ago when she asked me to help out with a poster design for her work. Later I kept running into her at the gym, always admiring the dedication she and her husband Mike had to stay strong. I always caught myself thinking: wish I could do that! But i kept admiring from afar until now.

This year has been a tough one for Kristina, and Mike has been her rock through all of it. After many conversations about life and what's been going on I told Kristina we need to get there photos done - I felt like it was meant to be and I couldn't wait to photograph these two beautiful souls. 

We laughed, we cried, we fought the cold - we did it all and I do not know anyone else who could do it with such grace! Thank you guys for putting your trust in me! Keep smiling and don't ever let anyone convince you that you are anything but beautiful (inside and out!). 

Here are my favorites from our session!
