In March of this year Rustic Comfort Photography started taking applications for the Second Annual Sweet 16 contest. Last year, seven girls participated. This year, there was eight. The girls are from anywhere in the tri-county area. Each girl had a session fee, but most all had either the whole or partial fee paid for by a donation from Red Angel Pizza in Paulding. The girls all received a single session at various times and locations starting in April. Then there was a group session that was kindly donated by The Promises We Make, Wedding Venue in Montpelier Ohio. Parents and kids alike get to meet each other, with everyone having fun.
