“There is nothing more complimentary than when your previous senior clients contact you for MORE pictures! And when a GROUP of them do… it becomes pure magic. This group of seniors have grown up together, danced together and are now graduating together. We had an absolute blast with them because they were naturals at posing and simply beautiful on the inside and out! This was definitely one of our favorite senior group shoots to date!” said Casey Murphy of d-Squared Designs in St. Louis.
