Another great October!


Our first photo session with Michelle.  
Wasn't sure when Michelle posed us this way, 
that it would looked too much like an engagement picture.  
Well quess what, I love it and the honeymoon is still not over.  




Dad's professional portrait.  He looks smart.
Thanks Michelle.
