Harry is Two!

A second birthday session for my little boy. We were having a baseball themed party so naturally we had to take his birthday photos at the baseball field. This isn't the first time I've done this, actually! I took another sweet boys photos at a baseball field a few years ago, you can check out that session clicking here.

These were shot at my old high school baseball field and a local park close to golden hour. We wrapped up the session when he decided to slide home (aka fall flat on his face running at full speed) and bust up his lip. See! Even my kids act up at photo sessions! We do what we can though, don't we?

Here's a collection from the session:

Cayden Turns One!

Hey! Do you have any idea how fast a year moves? Pretty freakin fast, yall.
For example, little Cayden: I shot both his newborn photos, and his mama's maternity photos, like, yesterday. Now I'm in a park taking his first birthday shots. I can't understand the speed-of-light movement that is happening with these littles.
Oh motherhood, the days are long but the years fly by.

Can I also tell you about how gorgeous this family is, and how incredibly sweet these children are?
We decided to shoot locally in along the trail of a park in East Brunswick. There is a lake, and a lot of moss, so it set this earthy, soft mood. Cayden didn't exactly jump in the cake (lets be honest, most 1 year olds don't) but he still charmed us in his little way.

Thanks for stopping by!

A Room You Don't Mind Sharing

I decided that in this "four bedroom" house that I would have my two young children, ages 4 and 2, share a room. Why stick them together when we obviously have the space? A lot of reasons! It's been proven that kids actually do better in room sharing situtations, it's good for bonding. Also, it's easier for bed time. I can sit in with both kids at the same time instead of running from room to room. And best of all, I don't have to clean up two rooms anymore! We paired down on so much of their toys and clothes, too. That really helps live minimally and keeps the rooms peaceful.

MY KIDS LOVE ANIMALS. I know most kids do but my kiddos are obsessed. They watch Animal Planet over cartoons sometimes. So we went with a jungle theme. It's colorful, youthful, and stylish.

Two matching twin beds with mis-matched sheeting. It gives them a little bit of their own personality. The green palm leaf wallpaper brings energy into the space and anchors the two beds.

A Story of Two Rooms

I'm currently working on a project that includes two bedrooms that are getting a mini makeover. But there is nothing mini about the style!

The client already picked a paint color prior to our consult, so I had to start off with that. She had selected Flannel Gray by Behr. Both her room, and her neighboring sons room, are being painted the same color.

A First Communion Session

I love a little man in a suit. And I love a big empty church. Valentin's parents, Michael & Ashley, asked me to capture some special shots for his First Holy Communion. Congratulations to you Valen, blessings to you always.

A New Take On A Nautical Nursery

NOPE this is not for me, not this time Satan😂! But I love a sweet nursery, that's why I thought I'd kick off my weekly design inspiration boards with one! This could easily be made for either gender, but I love the pop of yellow in the chair. It's not a glider, and honestly you don't need one (I find more of those for sale on Facebook Marketplace than I can count). A big comfy chair for nursing or folding little bitty onesies is well enough. And can you stand that porthole mirror?

Little Cayden

I had the pleasure of photographing this little man a few months back. He was just days old and slept the ENTIRE time. I emphasize that because my kids were awake, I mean awake-awake, through all of their newborn photos. He was so tiny and snuggley and precious.

I feel so lucky to have these opportunities. Congratulations to the mom and dad.

Harry's First Haircut

Thirteen months of hair growing left my baby boy a little shaggy. I did love his fluffy curls, but they were constantly hanging in his eyes, getting food in it, etc.
Besides, it's only hair, and it grows back.

I gave him a lollipop and he did great. No crying, no fighting. It couldn't have went better.
