Empty Nesters!️️ Definition: "A parent whose children have grown and moved away from home." Seriously one of my favorite shoots I've done! No one has ever asked me to do one, so when she asked I couldn't say no! Annnnd they even wanted the motorcycle in there! I mean how cool are they!? I hope you two enjoy this new season of life! ♥️♥️ 

Aside from these photos, they also had a series of photos riding the motorcycle. They were also holding a little signage that says, "Empty Nest, August 1, 2020."

Other photos of the empty-nesters show Juan holding a balloon in number zero and Dalila was holding a small board where the words, "expecting 0 kids," written on it.
