… little bundle of schnoodley goodness. she’s a senior girl who lives in Stoney Creek with her crazy, puppy sister — who you will meet later. but for an older girl, this little doll-face still gots some moves.

on what felt like the warmest February date in history, we hit a variety of locales … from a snowless, grassy field (in February!), to an orchard/market, and i even had Chloe, her sister, and their parents make a U-ey when i spotted that last field of snow on the way home.
