Telling Stories with Photos and Furniture

My day spent with Allyson from @old2bold was amazing for lots of reasons. Firstly, because I just LOVE capturing people in their element, working with their hands and getting creative.

Once that was done, we introduced the cakes, and all the messy fun began!
