She is gorgeous - love the surprising combination and as always, process blog posts delight me. I learn so much each and every time!
So much fun Michelle! And you're taking STUDYING UNDER THE MASTERS!! I came *THIS* close to taking it also, and already have regrets that I didn't. :-( Your girls are beautiful - as always. A very distinct style of your own. Bravo! xx
