Shania joined me in the studio and traveled a LONG way to do so. I’m talking 6-7 hours one way. I am BEYOND thankful. She said, “Emma was wonderful to work with. She’s the most organized photographer I’ve ever worked with and gave me the confidence to do my first boudoir shoot. Safe to say I will be back! I loved the outcome.”
