Romantic engagement session in the Avenue of the Giants Redwoods

I had done Kristinas senior photos a couple of years ago, so I was stoked when she asked me to do some couples photos for her and her boyfriend. They wanted a location in the Redwoods along the Avenue of the Giants. It was during the early winter so it was a little darker, but […]
