This little cutie spent her FIRST birthday with me at the studio! Her mom, Gwendolyn, is my neighbor at the Mill, and one of my favorite people around here. For all of you moms looking for a day of pampering, you’ve got to treat yourself to a facial or massage from Skin Like Rissa’s. Yes, the salon is named after this sweet little gal right here! Isn’t she darling? I was blown away by her expressions… she is a serious HAM in front of the camera! These shots made me laugh out loud…



gotta love the drool… ;)
Big brother Marky also got in on the photo fun…and conquered his fear of heights at the same time! It was the cutest thing to watch him climb the ladder and get so excited to be up high! He is such a sweet pea..

Hi Kellie! These pictures are just adorable! I love that we shot right on Marissa’s birthday! What a thrill it will be to look back at these moments! The whole family enjoyed it so much! We are so grateful to have found you. Marky and Marissa really liked you and I just love watching you work! You should be very proud of your talent. I cannot wait to send this to my family and friends! Everyone who knows me will know the magic you make!
We really appreciate it!
