“Igetthatstraight-onimagedonefirst, thenit’s:‘Heyguys,whataboutthis?’Imight trythesamethingwithheapsoffamiliesbut theyallresponddifferently.”
Whilesomearekeentojumpwaves, othersstayreserved.“Thatisfinetoo,”said Menendez.“They’llgetthephototheywant.” Now,shehasrepeatcustomersbooking hertocapturetheirfamiliesyearafteryear. However,herstartinphotographywasn’t trouble-free.
