Maggie ~ 8 months

Posted on May 9, 2012

When Carrie (Maggie’s mama) called and inquired about a session, I was pumped!!  Carrie and I were sorority sisters in college and our visits with each other are few and far between (we need to change that, Carrie).  I loved visiting with Carrie and her mom during our session…. AND I loved meeting Maggie!  Is she not the cutest little girl…

Don’t let those cute looks fool you, Sims made me work hard for these images!  I loved every minute…chasing this sweet girl around and capturing her fun, spunky personality was a great way to end my day.

As soon as Gwen saw me, she smiled from ear to ear!  I knew when I saw that million dollar smile that it was going to be a great session!  I was right, it was G.R.E.A.T!
