Ever Evolving, Always Beautiful - San Diego Portraits by Elizabeth Zaranka Portaiture
Beauty, it’s a topic most of us have discussed. What is it? Who has it? It seems to be an exclusive, unobtainable thing. We’re told that beauty fades, that you have it at one time in your life and that it leaves. I don’t believe that. I think beauty is ever evolving. As we grow …
