  • Alex + Rachel

a friend’s wedding, it’s like the best of both worlds.

Michael and I really don’t care for this whole “senior” thing too much.  We’re going to miss these kids!! Let’s not talk about that part.  Lets talk about Caitlyn’s session last week.  It poured all afternoon but we decided to take a chance
