Jason met Olga while on a mission trip to Russia 10 years ago. They didn't fall in love at first, but over time they developed a friendship that blossomed from there. Theirs is such an inspiring love story. I wanted to share it with you.
After they married in Russia, Olga moved to the states to live near Jason's family. They had a beautiful ceremony here in the states as well. Baby Victoria was born several years after that after many years of waiting and prayer over her arrival. What a blessing she is!
I chose to photograph their family in the small chapel in the Pioneer village at the Arboretum in hopes of capturing that spirit of prayer that surrounded Victoria's birth. The setting was beautifully lit and perfectly peaceful. I know this image will mean a lot to their families.
Victoria's adorable dress was a gift from her Grandparents. After the more formal pictures were finished, Victoria donned her Halloween attire. But, by then she was plum tuckered out.
