When I met the Gleisner family, I just knew from the start it was going to be a great session. Both Kelly and Russ were so warm and kind from the instant we said our hello's. And their little one, Lyla, did not fall far from the tree. As you can tell from her smiles and personality, she was primed and ready to go for her close up! We talked through the whole session about a number of topics; kids, dogs, accounting (about how they are amazing at it and about how I am terrible at it!) I mean, all the normal topics of conversation, of course.

What I am most excited about (other than delivering this gorgeous gallery to them) is that I get to be a part of Lyla's one year celebration and capture her cake smash! I can't wait!
