It is something that is so special to me. So it is just as special to me that I can document that for other families. I have been blessed with being able to work with many different families. I love seeing how they interact wit ..read more

I had a session at the Texas Tech Horticulture Gardens last year during the summer. It was so pretty and green. I ..read more
