March 4th was a big day for me. It was my first ABP session since my sweet Lila Byrd was born.

I realized I have been photographing this awesome non profit for four years now. (Thanks Lisa Kang and Lisa Van Deman!). This non profit brings happiness, dance, and the excitement of learning new things to our schools and our kids. As I said it was the perfect session back…
