Being that she’s also the artistic one, I asked her make dinosaur portraits as a backdrop and OH MY GOSH they looked AMAZING!!! I couldn’t have asked for more! These pictures do not do justice to how beautiful the portraits came out! My brother also made wood dinosaur cutouts and their rustic look where a perfect accessory. …
