I am so thrilled with how our family photos turned out this year. My dear friend Tricia shot these for us at Willow River Company just before Thanksgiving. Though it was a mini session, we still were able to get such a lovely variety of family photos plus extra pics of Archer for his first…
Happy 1st Birthday, Archer Quinn
On 12/11, our last baby turned one. It’s definitely an emotional milestone, but watching him grow has easily been the highlight of 2020. I absolutely love our little roly poly with his big personality! Here’s how he started off. It was a bit of a “ARE YOU KIDDING ME” type of delivery, but turns out…
September + October 2020
Hey everyone! It’s been a minute, hasn’t it? (And by minute, I mean about two months). I usually go a little dark during the fall because that’s when photo season ramps up for me and any free time I can find is used for shooting and editing client photos. This fall was a very mixed…
Archer at 9 Months
Archer is 9 months and 10 days old. I’m a little unnerved at how quickly all of these milestones are coming up and how big he is getting… big personality, big head, big appetite, and big trouble. Ares was not pleased that I wanted to use the dump truck as a prop and promptly brought…
Eat, Wear, Read: Summer 2020
Hey everyone! I hope your September has been going ok and that they’re hasn’t been anything terribly surprising and/or traumatizing. I just wanted to be consistent over here and do my quarterly Eat, Wear, Read post for my summer reads, meals, and outfits. In true 2020 fashion I’ve been struggling with clothes a little bit…
August 2020
August! I gotta be honest, it wasn’t too shabby. We spent a few lovely days up north at the cabin. Cece learned to water ski. I celebrated my 34th birthday (wha??? That can’t be right. Pretty sure I’m only 23. We had a few last outing to some parks, the splash pad, and finished off…
First Day of School 2020
They are off! After 6 months of being away from school, the girls were bouncing off the walls this morning with excitement to return. Cece and Rosie woke up at 6:30 am on their own and came downstairs where Cece made both of them breakfast. They both got ready for school without needing any rushing…
Fields of Gold
“I want to be like a sunflower; so that even on the darkest days, I will stand tall and find the sunlight.” Summer is approaching it’s end and there’s evidence everywhere from the leaves are beginning to turn, to the teacher meetings this week, and the mornings that have a glorious crispness in the air….
July 2020
It’s a… relief/accomplishment (?) to check off another month in the year of 2020. July 2020 for our family wasn’t brimming with activities and outings like most summers, but it was still enjoyable. However, we’ve also had a few family beach days and a few park visits. I’ve had some wine nights with one of…
