Now, I’m not a customer relations genious, but I think that’s pretty high on the list of things not to do.

Melody Joy!

We had some pictures taken on Melody’s first birthday. Anastasia Pottinger took the pictures, and they are amazing. I highly recommend her work.  We got the “images on CD” package, and it’s going to be hard choosing which images to print.
