Feature Friday Deb’s Great American in redway retro 50s Coke Shoot

Its Senior Sunday! I am busy shooting four senior boys this weekend, but wanted to share a session from a few weeks ago from Parkys Pics senior rep Shelby. We met in the Southern Humboldt area, and Shelby was looking for a more rustic look. I think we achieved that goal! : )
