I am so excited about today’s blog feature. The Tortoise and the Hare is a great blog written by 2 adorable sisters with eyes for greatness. I actually have the privilege of knowing one of the sisters, Michelle, thanks to my husband’s great choice in friends. . .and my husband’s friend’s great choice in wives (make sense?). If I lost you somewhere in the middle of that last sentence, let me rephrase, Michelle’s husband and my husband are long time friends. Anyway Michelle also happens to be a fantastic photographer, and last time she took my family’s pictures, I asked her if she would be willing to contribute a tutorial to this blog. She graciously agreed, and she has come up with something fabulous for us. After you check out this adorable addition to our tutorials, hop, or crawl on over to The Tortoise and the Hare and get your daily dose of inspiration.
