Jacob and Jenna
Paula was absolutely amazing! She was wonderful with communication prior to the shoot (even when I wasn't. Haha) and made our shoot feel so special! She found great spots for photos, helped with posing, and just made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We had a great time and she got some great shots for my maternity shoot. She worked her magic and I am so glad she was available to do our photos. I look forward to working with her again!!
