Wrap It Up Pretty Little Black Book!
I know, I know. We are in the thick of the holiday season and all that is dancing through our heads revolves around hot cocoa, snuggling under blankets, and shopping, shopping, shopping. Not to mention winter white weddings galore. But when a summery engagement session so sweet came my way and warmed my heart, I figured today was a great day to share it - and hopefully it will warm you to your bones on this chilly day! Amy and Stuart Photography captured an adorable couple playing on the beach, and it has put a smile on my face that will last the whole weekend through. See you Monday, my darling LBBers. xoxo
