I met up with Shelby and her mom  on Saturday afternoon for a super fun senior session.  We were infinitely blessed with not only the best weather of the whole summer so far, but just magical spots for photos. The coast of Maine was busy with a flurry of activity and people hoping to pick up just a few rays of sun, but we were able to hide away in some more unknown beach areas and locations.
