We met Allison & Jared at the beautiful Bob Mays Park in Quincy. And let me just say that it is quickly becoming one of our favorite places to do a session in Quincy.  They had beautiful weather (maybe a little warmer than we all expected for late September) but none the less still beautiful […]

Ashton was our first guy senior for 2018 and he was a trooper!  We all know that the guys don’t enjoy the sessions as much as the girls do but he didn’t complain about all our many location stops and even smiled for us! It was a great session.  Have a great senior year Ashton!
