Galentine’s Day Portraits at MoBot
When Bianca contacted me, she wanted to book a surprise engagement session for her and her fiance. We planned the date and location based on the height of spring foliage at the Missouri Botanical Garden. Six months later Bianca was no longer engaged, but kept the photography session.
