Every spring break my daughter and I visit Santa Monica, California for vacation. This is the fourth year in a row booking our mother/daughter photoshoots, throughout the beautiful beach and Santa Monica pier. Our photoshoots with our photographer, Lil, are the best part of our vacation! She is so kind, talented, and creative. We have so much fun and have beautiful, professional pictures that capture the best moments of our trip! I plan to book her again next year.
