This past fall felt like a whirlwind! We started our kitchen restoration project and I was fully booked with portrait sessions. I honestly home we're never that busy again! I'm enjoying this freezing cold winter and am happy to slow down and catch up! Today on the blog you can read an interview with a loving mom about her two beautiful children.
