It was also sweet to include the gift that baby Allie's grandmother left for her...a brightly-colored sock monkey! I told Carmen that it would be special to have Allie photographed every year with that sock monkey.
Again, my gratitude to Chantelle for helping out a friend with a bum foot!






Thanks so much to my dear friend Chantelle who assisted me on this shoot as well as the newborn we photographed immediately after. I was recovering from foot surgery and on crutches, and I wasn't able to drive, so she really came through for me...thank you so much, friend!!
