It really is hard to believe that August is about over, and Labor Day is just around the corner!  We’ve had a wonderful summer in Albany, NY — one that is worthy of great fairwell!

There are few things that you can say you can smell from memory…. that newborn scent is one of them!  So pure, light, hint of baby sweetness!!!  Unmistakeable that’s for sure!   I’m sure this new mom and dad have been spending some time taking in the wonderful essence of this one.  He truely is a gorgeous newborn baby.  They’re viewing their gallery this week, can not wait for them to see their...
