As soon as my brother and his wife told me they were having a little girl, I knew I had to do something special for them. So I contacted a local company, Happy Little Fin, and asked for her help in making a custom headband for my family. She was able to create some beautiful hair pretties out of my dad's favorite flannel shirt! My dad passed away nearly 18 years ago when we were younger and I have been trying to find ways to make his shirt into fun memories!
The only problem, we had to keep it a secret for several months. It was SO SO SO hard for me to not burst with the news, and they almost found out when my family was rummaging through my props during my nephew's session. A huge thank you to Alyssa at Happy Little Fin for helping me create something beautiful out of a ripped old flannel. It means the world to my family.
And as luck would have it, one of my other favorite local prop shops, Lolo and Max in Mankato MN, happened to design a matching plaid and lace dress, so I snagged that up as well!
