“I had the most AMAZING DESERT SANDS photo shoot with Donae. We drove to California for the perfect sand dunes location, she brought a beautiful cover up in black and one in pink. I discussed exactly what I wanted and let me tell you, I felt so alive, empowered and sexy!
This location was purposely requested and I had researched and interviewed several photographers, I chose Donae for her careful eye and artistic strengths. She has a solid eye of capturing the moment.”
