ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa! Just had new photos taken last week:)
ReplyDeleteDid you see the show? If so, how was it?!
ReplyDeleteI did not, unfortunately, see last night's show. But, I DID see the KTE performance in DC! I highly recommend you go if you can. The collaboration pieces came together really well. It's a great mix of sounds.
