Clarisssa {Class of 2011} Minneapolis Senior Photography

Clarissa booked my first senior session WAY before the special was offered. Her mom unofficially booked me on my launch day! Last night was finally the night. I met Clarissa when she was in middle school and had the privilege of being her small group leader for several years at church. It’s been so fun to see her grow [...]
