This book is a culmination of photographs taken for the Marshall Family over the span 6 sessions and 13 months. Hailey graduated our Baby Milestones Portrait Plan this past Fall, and throughout her first year I have grown a special bond with this Family and their precious little Angel. The Marshalls certainly have a very special place in my heart and I am so honored to also call them Friends. (I can’t wait to do lunch after the Holidays, Pretty Lady!) And I could not ask for a more vocal advocate than Mom, she rocks as a proud Momma showing off Hailey’s Portraits!
As I reconnected with the images and the book started to organically come together, I felt like I was reading a mesmerizing and monumental chapter of their lives. Their Sessions would vividly play back in my mind and I would remember how I would delight in noticing all the changes of Miss Hailey since the last time I saw her. And it isn’t only Baby that does all the changing. It is beautiful and fascinating to see how couples transition from Husband & Wife to Mom & Dad. That is a dramatic change in itself. I am sure if there was a line graph that measured change in a person’s life, becoming new parents would likely become the highest spike in many people’s graphs.
Leslie & Frank are amazing parents, and Miss Hailey is one deeply loved little girl. Looking forward to watching this little “Smoosh” grow up!
Wishing the Marshalls a very Merry Christmas!
Hugs,
Grace

Crying in joy is healthy though! I am so glad you love it, I love it too!!! And I know Hailey will cherish it deeply as will her children too. Thank you so much for the great honor!
Grace, I hate your write-ups…they always make me want to cry! I love the book, it is so beautiful and I can’t wait to show it to Hailey when she is older. It’s the most amazing family legacy I could ask for. Thank you for making such a beautiful keepsake and for being such a wonderful friend!
