Following up on my last post, who is the one in your family who always made sure the moments are saved? Did anyone print photos, or make scrapbooks, or baby books? Who made sure everyone gathered together?? If you had any of those, you were really lucky. More food for thought as we head into the holidays…!

**REMEMBER: Holiday Open House & Generations Portrait Event at our Rockford, Iowa studio Saturday, December 6th 9a-1p! Hot apple cider, holiday treats, come see us at the studio and say hi! *Must register online if you want a photo session that day.
