Over the years I have been blessed to have some special come back to me over and over again. Sometimes we photograph in my studio, and sometimes we find a fun location and just play.

Anya. This darling young woman was an absolute breath of fresh air to spend a few hours with. She met me in one of my favorite spots north of Stillwater for a stunning session.
