let's talk about it

I’m sure I’ve said this before, but my ultimate goal in my photo sessions is to make them quick and painless.  Sometimes it’s because I want the kids to stay engaged in the session, but mostly it’s because I want the DAD’S to stay engaged. Mike is one of those dads.  Apparently he’s been known […]
