California Road Trip- Part 2

The second week of our California road trip was spent exploring a few of California’s National Parks. We visited Sequoia, Kings Canyon and Yosemite before packing up our bags to head home. Our first stop was Sequoia National Park. It was so incredibly beautiful. We hiked during the day and in the evenings we strolled […]

California Road Trip- Part 1

Our family recently returned home from a road-trip in California and dare I say it was our favorite adventure yet! Lazy mornings spent cuddling together, long hikes and gorgeous beach views- it just doesn’t get much better than that! I am splitting this blog post up into two parts because the amount of pictures is […]

6 Months with Leland Theodore

What?! I promised myself I wouldn’t be one of those moms that was always saying where did the time go? But I totally get why moms are always saying that now, because seriously- how is our little guy already 6 months old? I won’t cry, I won’t cry, I won’t cry! These past 6 months […]

2018 Personal Highlights

I could write a 100 blog posts about 2018. Becoming parents is more than we could have ever dreamed, and I think you all know how I feel about our little man. Leland Theodore is just pure perfection. I have so many favorite moments, so creating a top 10 is tough. If I could bottle […]

Our Maternity Photos + Taking a Break

I know I keep saying it, but can someone please pinch me! After all of the maternity pictures I have captured over the past 5 years, I cannot believe that I am sharing our own bump photo shoot! We captured these pictures in Birmingham at Quarton Lake, which is quickly becoming one of my favorite […]

Greece

Okay, okay I know- this blog post is so picture heavy, but I would never say editing down my favorite images is my strong suit.  And when you travel to somewhere like Greece, it makes editing images even more difficult.  So out of the 600 pictures I currently have from the trip, I would say […]

Third Trimester

This week we welcomed our third trimester with baby Beatty! When we first found out we were expecting a little one the third trimester sounded so far off.  And so real.  I remember thinking, when we get to the third trimester I will make sure we take care of x, y, and z.  And now […]

Winter Upper Peninsula Road Trip

Ted and I always try to celebrate our birthdays with some kind of getaway or fun new experience.  For Ted’s birthday he wanted to take a winter road trip to the Upper Peninsula.  The Upper Peninsula is his favorite place in the world and he never passes up a chance to spend time in the […]

Sharing the Baby News

So I thought it would be fun to share with you the story and a few pictures from when I told Ted he was going to be a dad!  I had always imagined I would find out first and then do something super fun and a little bit extravagant to tell Ted.  He is always […]
