As soon as Ellery, age 2, introduced herself, I knew this was going to be a great Table Mountain sunset session. She was outgoing, sassy, full of energy and so so sweet. Her mom, Samantha – a talented fellow photographer, had booked the session for her and her two children as a Mother’s Day present […]
