Cassie’s Super Sweet 16!!
So when I first got the call several months ago about photographing a birthday party, I was picturing some cake and balloons in a backyard. Not so much what these guys had in mind! Cassie’s sweet 16 was SUCH a fun and stylish party – plus I got to work with some of my favorite…
