Justin and Kelly have been repeat clients of mine for about 2 years now.  In that time they have moved and added another member to their family and with it, much more life. Yet their commitment to each other has not faltered. Actually, you can even say it has grown them together exponentially. I see it every session. These images were from that first session… What is your favorite CHANGE in your spouse after all these years? “Kelly = he grew his hair out! Justin = she wears c
