Pantone says ‘orchid’ is the hot color for 2014 weddings. But I prefer Lavender… Lavender Barnes, that is. This 18-month old is just getting stable on her feet and can get away from you right quick!  Her eyes lit up when she saw the balloons I brought to the photo session and the joy was contagious! And, smart Mommy Faith brought bribery in the form of mini-marshmallows. Always helps 🙂

And, because she was so darned cute last year, here’s my favorite from Christmas 2012. What  difference a year makes!
