Kenzie + Cody | Oak Openings Metro Preserve | Toledo, Ohio | Couples | Shannen Arnett Photography

“Miss Rhode Island, please describe your idea of a perfect date.” “That’s a tough one. I’d have to say April 25th. Because it’s not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket.” Let’s be honest, she wasn’t wrong! Maybe a little too overcast and rainy. But PERFECT for a moody session […]
