Rounding out my trip to the Bay Area was meeting up with Katya + Ilya for their engagement session! Before she moved out to the west coast, Katya was a good friend of mine here in Ohio. But now she calls California home, and that’s where she met Ilya too. So it made perfect sense…
Read MoreBay Area California LGBTQ Engagement: Paige + Meg
