An Update On The Girls And An Adorable, Quick Hair How-To.
As the girls get older, I catch myself remembering some of the things I use to say. Things like: “They will always match,” “they will always wear bows in their hair,” “I’ll never bribe them to do things that they need to do,” etc. It really does make me giggle.

Amber Coker did the most amazing job at capturing what I wanted for this session and I cannot wait for our next one.
