Sentimental Places
Ilove when we can pick a location that has special meaning to you. I've been to a family farm and used tractors and cows as backdrops. I've gone to a family's backyard because that's where their special needs child was most comfortable. I've been to locker rooms and gyms and baseball fields. Thinking outside the box for locations is one of my favorite things!
The possibilities are endless
