Our sweet baby girl turned one and we had to celebrate! I started planning the decor and ordering prints months before her big day. Decorating the house with girly banners is the best thing ever. I just want to keep them up forever. We got in super late from Washington the night before and it was already […]

One year ago today I was holding a tiny seven pound baby in my arms. She was an angel. A sweet cuddler that rarely made a peep. She brought me so much peace and joy. Now she’s FULL of personality, sass and independence. Today is she is ONE! Our little Miss Piper Ann is one […]

Yesterday we had a impromptu three month photo shoot with miss Piper. We had the “studio” set up, a brand new little gold crown from Whitney, a cute outfit and the sweetest baby, so why not? She’s so patient and sweet with all the pictures I make her take. I love her beautiful & soft crazy brown […]

Today was the greatest. Our sweet Piper Ann received the most beautiful blessing from her daddy. We were surrounded by our amazing family and friends, delicious food and perfectly crisp December weather. Twenty two years ago my sweet grandma made me this beautiful blessing gown from the same fabric that my mom used for her […]

October 21, 2014. Today is Miss Piper Ann’s due date, but we are SO happy she joined our family 10 days early. She doesn’t do much besides sleep, eat and poop, but we are loving every single second of it. Snuggly newborn cuddles are my favorite. I cannot put her down. For months I have […]

At my last prenatal check up, I was 38 weeks. I was dilated to 4cm, 70% effaced and the doctor stripped my membranes. Everyone thought I’d be in labor within a few hours for sure, including the doctors. Contractions came and went the next few days and I lost my plug but it wasn’t until […]

Birth Story | Part 1 Coming soon with our photos by Mavin Photography Birth Story | Part 2….The Hospital Stay It was about 2:00 AM on October 12th when everything started settling down. Piper had been weighed and measured. I had been stitched, cleaned up and finally got some crackers and juice. And most importantly, Luke […]

Today is the day my maternity leave officially starts! When I found out I was pregnant, I blocked off my calendar for maternity leave at 34 weeks. October 9th came and maternity leave did not. Since my original maternity leave, I’ve had 7 shoots and 2 weddings. I just couldn’t say no to my beautiful […]

It’s been another crazy two weeks since our last post! I shot 2 full day weddings, 5 family sessions and traveled to and from Washington alone with my crazy little man. I am now 36.5 weeks, which means less than 1 week until maternity leave (2 more sessions) and less than 4 weeks until I’m holding my […]

It’s been another four weeks so that means it’s time for another pregnancy update! I am now 34.5 weeks, which means less than 6 weeks until I’m holding my sweet baby girl. Woooohooo. Last night we got maternity pictures by the amazing Casey James Photography, with hair and make up by B Beautiful Artistry. I will definitely post […]

It’s been four weeks so I think it’s time for another pregnancy update! I am now 29 weeks and in my third trimester! Woooohooo. It’s the best trimester EVER. I will take all the discomfort/weird preggo pains and getting huge over all the other crazy symptoms the first two trimesters threw at me. We are […]

One of my adorable birth package clients has the most adorable pregnancy updates every month on her blog. Since I started reading hers, I’ve seen a few more friends posting their cute updates too. I don’t have weekly or monthly photos of the bump or updates, but I still wanted to be able to remember […]
