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…

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…
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….
Beachin’
It would appear that the only times I’ve taken pictures with my camera instead of my phone this summer were beach and lake days when everyone is swimsuit clad and we are near the water (which ironically is probably the worst time to grab a camera, but whatever). Below are some moments from when we…
June 2020
We’re more than halfway through summer (and 2020!) This summer definitely has moved at a slower pace. There’s been less hustle and rush and I’m not mad about it. Walks around our neighborhood and park visits. Chasing the ice cream truck. Working on our landscaping, the house, and the garden, and decluttering. And shooting a…
Three, Six, Nine (and Six Months)
For nearly a month now, I’ve had “Take Archer’s 6 Month pics on my to-do list.” And I’m satisfied to say that about five minutes before he turned seven months old, I got them done! If that doesn’t deserve a self-high five, what does? I also realized my family is at this neat moment where…
April & May 2020
Alternate titles for this post included “Love in a Time of Corona” as well as “Straight Outta Quarantine,” but I just decided to go with what I’ve been consistently titling these monthly/bi-monthly life updates complete with iPhone photos. I haven’t really written much about my thoughts/feelings/experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, because it seemed like EVERYONE…
February + March 2020
I’m throwing it back to a couple months ago, right before life got rearranged and redefined indefinitely. Here are the happy things that happened with our family in February and March of 2020 which now feel like forever ago. In the beginning of February, Rosie and I had a mama-daughter date to get our nails…
