The Speed of Love

 

Louise, our farm-gal photographer and her best friend Nicole, took a trip to see Lou’s fiance close to a year ago. During the long road trip, Lou swerved to miss something in the middle of the road. As she sped by, she saw …

Our little Stella started school this fall. It has been life changing. I cannot believe how much she’s learned in just one short month. And, most important, how much she loves it.
