This lovely child's wonderful mom and I began our children's schooling odyssey together way, way back. Our paths have happily crossed here and there over the years, but I always remembered how very intelligent, strong-minded and sensible she was.  When our kids were in school together, I turned to her for support and advice as she has an education background, and I felt that we really saw eye to eye on things. I spent many, many long chatty phonecalls finding my way through the start of preschool with her on the other end of the phone so willing to listen! I was thrilled that she honored me with a request to photograph her gorgeous daughter.
