[BEHIND the SCENES]

do you ever want to know what someones set up for a session looks like?
do you ever wonder what the background looks like in a shot?
do you ever wish you could see how someone got a shot?

well, hopefully these photos will give you a little insight!
the first round of these shots was such a big hit, i'm going to continue to post
as long as i keep getting them!
{if you sent me one and you don't see it here, don't worry! i received so many i
am only able to post a handful at a time}

below you will see how they got the shot and then you will see the resulting shot.
