Your Baby Portraits are your one chance to look back at a specific moment in time and say... “Remember when you were so small...”
Funny thing that happened to me:
“I remember the day my parents cut the legs down on our kitchen table
Just so I would bang my head on it as I ran underneath!"
I forgot kids grow up fast!. -Dean McDonald
