Last week we went down the way from our home and decided to take a few quick photos of our little lady to remember her last week as a three-ager. I am so glad we did. She was starting to feel better from sickness so we only stayed for about 10 min and it was so worth it! hope you enjoy this quick mini photo session.

Grandma Carol found this beautiful dress at a thrift store and Nova fell in love!

Photographers-Child Syndrome

I was on the brink of recovering from some icky sickness and felt creative. Asked my daughter to put on an outfit I made (thrifted crochet tree skirt turned into skirt and crocheted top by me). Needless to say, it was funnier to be sassy and play than listen to mom. I am going to miss these days, I am sure. Enjoy!

As a mother myself, I can’t encourage you enough to prioritize extended family portraits.

It's more than worth the effort and I guarantee you'll love every minute of it!

You, too, can have a beautiful homecoming experience that can be even more special than meeting on the flight line or deck of the ship.
