Sweet cherished memories

About a year ago I offered to take newborn photos of my BFF's first grand girl. The hospital's photographer didn't do a very good job and the new Mama was upset. Little did I realize I would completely fall in love with capturing this sweet girl's first year of life. Family photographs are so important. …

November Photo Challenge: Whatcha eatin’?

Well, I'm late to the party this month. If you are in the US, I hope you had a wonderfully blessed Thanksgiving.
