PicMi Self-Photo Studio

My husband and I came to take photos for our first anniversary and we had SO MUCH fun! The studio had all kinds of fun props for us to use and it was very easy for us to take a ton of pictures. Sunny was amazing to work with, he was so incredibly kind and explained everything so thoroughly. He made the experience even better for us. We will be back soon!
