little lassie

I have a friend, Allyson, who is an amazing photog. She was looking for "pint-sized models" for a photo shoot and I suggested my boss' daughter. She is the CUTEST thing in the world. Her momma's looks with dad's coloring. Plus, she's just so sweet and charming! Had to share the link from Allyson's blog with the pics for you to see the proof yourself!

I also "stole" one of the pics to post here myself, but it DOED have her copyright on it so no fair stealing it from mine!
