One of my Favs from Lauren's portfolio..
the action of her running and the fabric (10 feet of tulle material) just makes this magical for me...

working on Paige's senior photos(dark hair), but her best friend came along to help out..
Kelsey (blonde)is a photographer and has also been a second shooter with me in a wedding, apparently she can model too, so it made total sense to take a besties image of them..
