A few days after their first engagement mini-session in Seattle, we all met up at the Auburn Airport where Nick and Kelsey are becoming flight instructors to finish. Airplanes and airports are a big part of these pilot’s day-to-day so it’s only fitting to include it in their shots. Even better, we had access to [...]
