What better time of the year to have a maternity session than during the season all about the most famous pregnancy of all?! And what better place to have the maternity session than in a greenhouse nursery! After all, it is the time when you’re preparing for the baby and getting things ready in the… […]
Ah, the victory of successful adulthood – having your stuff together enough to be able to send out a family Christmas card (no matter what your family looks like)! I’m so glad I was able to help with this one! My neighborhood association had a block party back in September, so I threw in a […]
