The weekend after Thanksgiving, just before the weather turned really cold, I held family mini sessions at Rolland Moore Park in Ft. Collins. The George Family met me bright and early for a quick session. 3-year-old H had us all cracking up, evident by mom and dad’s expressions in the bottom left photo. These are […]
