With Team 18 this year I wanted to be really intentional about relationship building (and fun of course!) I decided to split the team in half for our fun mid year group shoots to allow the girls to connect with different girls, and have a smaller group they could really get to know! This was […]

We had so much fun for Sam’s Senior Session! We decided to go to the gorgeous South Coast Botanical Garden in Palos Verdes, CA and boy were we not disappointed!!

When Ryan and I get together, its always a good time! This girl keeps everyone around her in a good mood, with great jokes and humor!
