This year for Valentines Day, I wanted to do something different. Instead of posting images of roses and chocolate in the shape of hearts, I wanted to share with you real PhotOle love. I asked past clients Elise and Blake to answer a few questions about their love. I wanted them to write the first thing that came to mind and they weren’t allowed to share their answers. So in honor of all things sweet and true love, here are their notes.
