Makia's 21st Birthday Shoot | Birthday Photoshoot NYC

Makia found me on Instagram, which is super cool. I let her know about my current Birthday Shoot Special (e-mail me for more info) and we set up a date to shoot.

Nothing was going our way on the day of the shoot. But the second we met, the whole day brightened. Today is her 21st birthday, and I am so excited to share the images that she chose from her birthday shoot in our studio in Flushing, Queens!

Am I loca, or do you see it? It's a compliment, Makia :) Makia's Birthday Photoshoot21 years old Makia's Birthday Photoshoot21 years old The lighting was so yummy. I couldn't stand it.
