 When Haley & TJ had to moved to their wedding to the family home in Palo Alto because of our old friend Covid, I got super excited. This home has been in the family for years and years. The one thing 2020 has taught us is to pivot and that is what we did! The […]

Instead, here we are – five months into the COVID-19 […]
