December 2, 2009 - 11:18 pm Carol Ballard - Marlene What a thrill to see that someone has captured in photograph the essence of my family. I am the proud mom of Leah and the uber-proud gran of these four amazing children. Thank you for taking the time to let them each 'pop' their unique smile - four very different personalities. You have an extraordinary talent. I have an idea this is not the only shoot you will have with this family!! Carol aka Nana
