Yes, Ma'am she is! That's exactly what she wanted to do when she contacted me about this session. Nallely e-mailed me a couple of weeks ago and requested a "Trash the Dress" session. I had heard of the concept, but after visiting www.trashthedress.com I was "all in". So, this past weekend we headed back to Manchester and Rutledge Falls to do a very different kind of photo session.

NO ONE said anything directly to us, which I find amazing, because I would have been too nosy not to ask. But we did overhear one woman lean over to her husband and say...
