Whitney and Shanta met in RVA and share a love of laughter, fun, and pure comfort. They wear rings that make a heart when combined, yet when apart they only wear half of that heart to carry that person with them always. Their session was set on Belle Isle in Richmond, VA. At the time the James was dangerously flooded so we used the other settings on the island to capture their light and love.
