Working with Shannon Brooke
Luxurious, self-indulgent, and a bit of glamour was to be the start of my February. I had the honor of booking a shoot with Shannon Brooke; a photographer I've followed on IG and someone I've been wanting to work with, but a little too intimidated to reach out.

My daughter was also another year older and with that a… Continue reading La vie en Rose! 2015
