Mrs. E booked her session in November 2019 for January 2020, she was looking for someone "outside of her box" for her soon-to-be husband. During her Phone Consultation, she went over how she wanted moody images with a hint of "bride to be." So, you know, we covered her in white sheer to give her that vintage look. When Lindsey Jenkins did her Hair and Makeup Mrs. E wanted a mixture of B

Mrs. D was our first Maternity Session of 2020, and she brought in a calming energy that showed in her images and video. I am so excited to show everyone her unique vision for her session!
