Kiarra and Carl’s engagement session at Harry P. Leu Gardens was stunning! From the moment we connected about their vision, I knew this was going to be a session filled with style, intention, and undeniable romance. Kiarra envisioned something editorial and elegant—and she absolutely delivered. Her and Carl’s choice to wear sleek, all-black attire brought a luxurious edge to the lush natural setting of the gardens, and I was so excited to help bring that vision to life.

Kiarra’s attention to detail and Carl’s calm, confident energy made this session effortless and full of magic.
