What an amazing day we had with Melissa !
It was such a comfort to me to share my daughter with a dear friend from long ago. Melissa totally took control and set the tone for the afternoon, Sara gladly did everything she suggested. She had such a good eye for capturing Sara in the right light and the right pose . She was patient and took her time.
Beautiful friendship, Beautiful Girl, Beautiful afternoon. I am so thankful and so pleased.
