Our Glamour Shots

We had Eliza Jane’s newborn photos taken this past Saturday.  {Finally.} We’d scheduled them three times before but because of all this stinking rain we’ve gotten recently, we kept having to reschedule.  Finally, last Friday we switched everything up to be Saturday at 2pm with the high hopes that there would be sun, few clouds and…
