2006

This is Zoe when I first met her. I ran into Zoe and her parents at Starbucks where Zoe held "center stage." Zoe was captivated by the people, the bustle and the funny noises. She couldn't get enough of looking at all the fascinating things around her. I had known Zoe's mom, who modeled for an art class I was taking. I knew that Zoe's parents wanted to start a family, but it was proving difficult. I was there when the overjoyed mother to be announced that she finally was pregnant. But, then class ended. So several months later, it was so satisfying to see Zoe for the first time and to see all the curiosity and potential that this beautiful little girl was bringing to the world.
