MC’s senior photo shoot was a blast.   I swear, we lucked out finding this photographer a couple years back when Kaylee had her pics done.   He lets you pick ala cart rather than a package.  And it’s around the same pricing as if you ordered them from like a Walgreens or something.   Since she refuses [...]
