QUICK BATB WRAP UP

I don’t have much energy left tonight to post all I want to share about the amaaaazing weekend of Beauty and the Beast, so I am just going to post a few pics I just devoloped, (yes, the old fashioned way) of the set, that I guess I’m not afraid to admit, I’m pretty proud of. A lot more on the recording setting smash hit to come in my free time this week, and check out the regular teen photo gallery for more show, tea party and casual shots from the weekend to beat all weekends!
