Accordion Book for Birthday CelebrationYour birthday is a great opportunity to have a portrait session to celebrate your birthday. Earlier this year Blossom contacted me regarding photographing her for her 21st birthday portraits. We discussed the desired location for her portrait session as well as her wardrobe based on her portrait location. We met at Malaga Cove Plaza for Blossom's portraits.
