The term “death to twenties” is often tossed around in a light-hearted way, reflecting the end of an era filled with youthful adventures, spontaneous decisions, and sometimes, questionable choices. This phrase resonates with us as we approached thirty. Rather than mourning youth, it became a celebration of the lessons learned along the way.

In this serene setting, Yet snowy, the stillness provided the perfect backdrop for powerful, genuine emotions. Rachel captured moments that were raw and beautifully haunting, revealing both the melancholy of closure and the promise of new beginnings. Posing among the gravestones, appreciating past experiences—both good and bad—that brought me to this moment.
