The Minnesota Meltdown

Is it the snow? The cancelled schools all across Minnesota? Too much family time? The claustrophobia from everyone's junk being inside? Everyone's body being (mostly) inside? The load on our shoulders from trying to keep up with allthethings while the kids are also at home doing...

Why You Shouldn’t Wait to Book A Photo Shoot
