Happy half birthday, my love. Time is going by way too fast but Chris and I are enjoying every moment of parenting our beautiful girl. She is the sweetest baby. She rolls forward and backward, smiles and laughs all the time, and loves her fur brother, Max. We have quite the routine down and every […]

Current Favorites | Winter Edition
Since baby has arrived, I’ve become quite a homebody. My current winter favorites include books, fashion, and the moisturizer that has saved my skin.
Katelyn & Sudzy | Winter Engagement Portraits
It has been a while since I really picked my camera up. I thought once I had my baby, I would be taking photos all the time and though that is true, I’m almost always using my iPhone. Our phones are way more convenient so we take way more, which makes me so happy. However, […]

It feels weird typing this out knowing that when it goes up, I will have a baby. I am sitting here at 40 weeks pregnant starting to feel like baby girl will never come, which is, of course, ridiculous. It’s an absolutely perfect Saturday. The sun is shining and the temperature is set to stay […]
Babymoon to New York City
It has been over four months since Chris and I took our babymoon to New York City. I delayed posting this and thought about scrapping it because I didn’t think we took enough photos while in New York. The more I thought about it the sillier that seemed because this blog is my space to […]
Twenty-Eight | Birthday Thoughts
Happy birthday to me! October is the best month to have a birthday and I have always loved it. This birthday is monumental in so many ways. It’s my last birthday childless. I have found that this year I’ve had serious tunnel vision looking forward to meeting Isla so this year, I want to spend […]
Autumn Bucket List
Autumn has always been my favorite season. I live for the days where the temperature cools enough that jeans and sweaters are necessary and the leaves begin to change. Every year, I put together an unofficial autumn bucket list in my planner but this year it is more important to me than ever to have […]
