Natalya DeSena Photography: Winter in Maine

January 8, 2019

I love family shoots! Maybe it’s because I’m 31 years old and my maternal instinct is kicking in or maybe it’s because I get to act silly behind the camera and no one can judge me for it. Last week I worked with this beautiful family and we decided to go to Higgins Beach, Maine […]
