There really are places in the heart you don’t even know exist  until you love a child. ~Anne Lamott   I am naturally an extrovert. I love being around people. I’m a talker. I am comfortable in most new situations, so you would think that reaching out to new people and meeting new people for photo […]

Family pictures are HARD. I totally GET IT!! You’re trying to find the perfect outfit that matches and “goes” together, without being matchy, matchy.

They were all into the posing and doing exactly what I told them to do….they really needed very little direction […]
