I&#8217;m SO glad they did! \u00a0I&#8217;m also doubly glad they waited until the evening hours for their session because it&#8217;s not called the &#8220;magic hour&#8221; for nothing! \u00a0I had such a great evening with these two and I can&#8217;t wait to meet back up with them this September.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\"
