This is my full circle moment.
From 5th grade to her wedding day.

The journey getting to this moment has been so much fun, from creative makeup sessions, graduations to Disneyland just to name a few. I'm thankful for your mama for making sure that ever special moment was documented and I'm thankful she chose me to do that. I can honestly say I have had the time of my life with you and your family.

I wish for you and Mikey for a wonderful, fulfilled, loving, adventurous new journey together.

Love
Your photographer and friend
Jess
