The Modern Orchid

This one hits closer to home for us. This weekend not only did the wedding industry lay to rest Xander, a radiating energy and enthusiastic personality. More importantly our family friend Tori lost the father to their unborn son. Tori and Xander took editorial by storm with their on camera and off camera romance. Getting published in magazines and helping curate marketing for several small business. I had the chance to make some magic with them at the Symphony and I’m so grateful to have had the chance to see them in real time. Unfortunately the future plans we had chatted won’t come to fruition but I’ll hold them close.

You truly never know life’s path. You see things all the time on TV and the news articles. But you don’t understand the severity until it happens in your circle. I am so saddened by all of this. Wishing the world was a better place!

Fly high angel! Watch over Tori and your beautiful baby boy! 😇🪽
