A few days before Kolbie Steiss s first birthday, her mother, Ashley Hardman, set up a special photo shoot at home.
She had so many pictures of her six-year-old daughter Kylee s first year of life, Hardman realized, and all the adventures they d had out in the world; but there hadn t been as many of those with her second child.
It was for good reason, though.
On March 11, Kolbie turned one year old. So did the COVID-19 pandemic.
