Vivianne's 100 days old! This little girl has the most adorable cheeks I have ever seen. She was so laid-back and cooperative during her photo shoot, and she was so good at looking at the camera! Already a natural! We took a stroll around a park in Carrboro before heading back for some photos in her beautiful home.
