This week I spent time with one of my favorite couples capturing a perfect handmade Christmas. From stringing popcorn and cranberries to driving around to scout the perfect tree, it was a grand experience watching this couple build upon traditions that will carry them through their lives.

Now enjoying their second Christmas together, they have already amassed a collection of beautiful hand styled ornaments, including a fox which has become their personal mascot. Though our time together would be cut short by a busy photographer's day, it was not without a lot of beauty, love and holiday spirit.

Merry Christmas, Everyone! While it may no longer be a white Christmas in the Twin Cities, I am positive that for John and Caroline it will be full of many wonderful memories and a whole lot of love!

Be sure to check back in the next few days for more images from this great day!
