This beautiful young lady is my goddaughter (though I call her my niece). I am so proud of the intelligent, strong and compassionate young lady she has become. Stay strong, keep moving forward and always reach for your goals. (Yes totally cliche but I mean it). Congratulations Natalia!! I love you!

Allison and Andrew
There is absolutely nothing better than seeing two people in love. I love engagement sessions for that reason.
