Tender Portraits: Little bits ~ St. Joseph MO Child Photographer

My boy…
He has this little curl on the back of his head, that is wispy and golden.  I love to twirl it around my finger.  I love to watch it dance softly in the wind while he runs outdoors.  He has golden hair while my husband and I have dark brown hair.  Whether it will...
