Kaja was a bridesmaid in a wedding I shot this past September. She was a stellar bridesmaid and wrangled people during the family photos like a boss. She had told me about how her wedding photos didn’t come out that great, and she decided to enlist my help to recreate some wedding photos in honor of her and her husband Jason’s fifth wedding anniversary this past November. We had a beautiful late fall evening of snow flurries and some leftover fall colors.

I think it’s great to celebrate milestones with photography. I know we all have phones with cameras, but there’s something different about intentionally scheduling a time to have session to capture you and your loved ones as they are at this stage. Plus, it gives you a reason to refresh some decor.
