I know that you have all heard the saying, " it takes a village to raise a child." Meet the family that is part of my village. I don't know what I would do without this mom. She has taken my oldest daughter home from preschool more times than I can count. Last year when I was still teaching second grade part-time,  this gracious mom would bring my daughter home for me  so that my other two girls could have a nap and I could work on photography. A gift you cannot put a price tag on. I always try and help others, especially when it comes to children. Things change at any moment. Sometimes you need help and other times you need people to help you. I tried to help this family and pick their daughter up before school so I would at least be driving one way. This just did not happen for one reason or another. Feeling guilty, I would always say, " I want to help you, how can I help you?" Mom would reply as she looked around at my house full of photos, " Don't worry, I am saving up!" I can finally say, "save no more" however, this year we have 2 more kids in the same class! Lucky me! On the bright side, order up!  © Renee Hindman ... Read More about It Takes A Village… | Carlsbad Child Photographer
