Meet little Theo, who just had his very first Christmas mini session! 🎄✨ This little guy was totally mesmerized by the sparkly tree lights and gave us all the holiday feels. Sometimes the magic is all in those tiny moments of wonder. ❤️ #FirstChrist

Holiday photos with friends are just that much more fun.

Val @mizchynuhdoll (my go-to makeup artist) and her crew brought all the good energy.
