BARE FEET . . .

It's unbelievable to me, but Samantha chose to be barefoot throughout her photo shoot! This is an amazing feat (excuse the pun) when you consider she was walking all around her farm, AND then also posing at a farm built in the early 1900's. The property was spectacular--complete with a barn, corn bin, stable (with a blacksmith's area) and even an outhouse! We felt like we were exploring our own personal museum, and appreciate our early American heritage more than ever.

One of the neatest pictures was of Samantha next to her great grandma's wagon wheel which has been passed down through the generations. When she becomes a teacher, we know Samantha's students will be lucky--they'll have someone especially nice and someone with lots of exciting stories to share!
