Meet personality-rich Zoe ...

Zoe's mommy is Kellie, whose wedding I photographed in Raleigh five years ago. I wasn't thinking of this image when I tracked Zoe toddling down the stairs in her tutu - but as I put together this triptych, another image came to mind, shot well before Zoe came to be ... that of another beautiful girl in her fun dress-up outfit, also showing off her personality on a set of gritty stairs ... Kellie, circa 2005:

Next up - Kellie's sister, Lauren, her daughter, their portrait session in our Durham, North Carolina studio ... and another dressy flashback :)
