You can't help but love the Mitzenmachers from the moment you meet them. They exude this very easy-going sense of joy that makes you feel like you've known them for years. We couldn't get over their precious daughter Stella, who spent the afternoon shifting back and forth from adorable to hilarious and back again. Being a mom, I wanted to know the secret to having such a happy kiddo. They humbly told me it's just how Stella had always been, but as we spent our afternoon by the lake, it was easy to see that, really, she was just a splitting image of her loving, happy parents. I guess that's the secret after all....

You guys are wonderful, we're so excited for your sweet girl to turn one!

I could dedicate an entire blog post to Stella's sweet faces but I'll just go with three: funny, serious and adorable.
