Fall Photos with Your Besties


Natalie did a full senior session this summer but also hired me for a fall mini-session so she could capture some fall color and get photos with her dog.  Natalie happens to be one of my daughter’s best friends so I decided to also shoot a mini-session for Paige.  And then we invited CeCe to come along so we could […]

Sweet Sixteen
