My big little. I call Miles my little big and Finn is my big little. Somehow that makes sense to me. Finn amazes me. Motherhood is almost a brand new experience this time around. Seeing each of my boys develop their own personality and quirks and imagining what passions they will discover as their sponginess expands…Continue Reading “Finn | 4 Months”
As we turn the corner from September to October, my brain begins to consider all the great fall things: brisk walks, admiring fallen leaves as they swirl to the ground, baking a thousand yummy things (building up my tolerance to calories in preparation for the holidays, of course), picking apples, and fall mini sessions! I am super stoked…Continue Reading “2015 October Fall Mini Sessions”
That’s Right!!! Tasty Tuesday is BACK! Is it back for a day? A week ? To stay? I don’t know. But my head is swimming with thoughts of fall baking recipes, so as long as I’m riding this wave, you can share it with me. Do you have that one recipe that can instantly transport you back to…Continue Reading “Whole Wheat Banana Muffins with Cinnamon Crumb Topping”
My brother and his amazing wife, Jenna, welcomed their third little man into the family a couple months ago. I am immeasurably blessed by every opportunity I am given to document the meaningful moments in the lives of those I love. From the anticipation of new life I shared with them during Jenna’s maternity session to the…Continue Reading “Welcome Baby Zebulun – Newborn Lifestyle Session”
The first three months of Finn’s life have shot past me at lightning speed. I was so busy just keeping my two kids alive and making sure I remembered to feed them, I didn’t have time to notice how much Finn had grown! Then we visited my family and had a chance to meet the…Continue Reading “Finn | 3 Months”
This month seemed to speed by. It was characterized by growth spurts and the resolution of things that were confusing during that first month. He spit up less, he learned to latch better and seemed to grow more accustomed to the outside world. At his 2-month well visit (which actually occurred around 10 weeks) his…Continue Reading “Finn | 2 Months”
During the first month I was transported back to “new parent” status, terrified of each new thing that seemed different or unexplained and trying to do my best to relearn the process of taking care of a brand new baby. Finn’s belly button was different and he sneezed more and grunted more and had crazy…Continue Reading “Finn | 1 Month”
When my very best friend came to visit a couple months ago, we made sure to document her second pregnancy with some sun-filled images in “the” field. It was all that used to separate us from each other during our childhood. We might live several states apart now, but we still get to share all the…Continue Reading “In a Field with Flowers – Lizzy’s Maternity Session”
I didn’t make it to 40 weeks after all! I decided I wanted to take a photo with Finn that fit with my weekly belly update theme. I tried to make him look like a “belly” the way the cool people on Pinterest do it, but… FAIL! I won’t say too much up here because…Continue Reading “Belly Day | 41 Weeks”
As the day for Finn’s birth drew near, I tried to imagine how everything would unfold. I only had one other pregnancy/birth to reference, but I also knew that every experience is different, just as we are all unique souls. Like the title says, this was Finn’s story, not mine, so it was just a…Continue Reading “Finn’s Birth Story”
