For Mother’s Day, I got a most awesome gift. I got to pick a photographer and have some pictures made! Well, of course the first person I thought of was Emily Melson. She’s incredibly talented and specializes in family pictures. She’s done lots of pictures of friends’ children and families, so she was my only [...]
