Information on infant / child modeling in Toronto

by

Of course every parent believes that their baby or child is the cutest, and my husband and I were no exception. In fact, the first thing that my husband John said when Kyle was born was “he’s so cute!” over and over again. When Kyle was around 3 months, my brother and sister-in-law were telling […]
