E-Session fun in NYC!
The photographer behind one of my all-time fave e-sessions, Ilene Squires, recently shared pics of another nearlywed couple with Triple B.

Blame it on my father since he bought me everything under the sun with my initials on it when I was a little girl; but I'm a bona fide sucker for most things monogrammed. In my adult years I learned many other people feel this way, too. (Insert sigh of relief here.) And I recently learned that C. Wonder has a great assortment of personalized items … [Read More...]
