True story. When looking for models for a portrait session, always overbook. I had asked two different people to model for today’s portrait session, but one had to cancel because her babysitter bailed on her. Maybe you’ll get to see her next time. Luckily, I still had Holly.

Two, because I’ve really been wanting to work with more black …read more
