"Charlotte helped us create a naming day that felt warm, personal and completely right for our family. She took the time to understand what was important to us and somehow managed to make the day feel both meaningful and relaxed at the same time.
It was such a lovely way to celebrate our daughter and the people who'll help guide her through life. We couldn't have imagined a better day."
