We did our maternity pictures with the same photographer that did them before Ben was born and we are so happy with how they turned out. We took them 9/20, so just at the end of my 37th week of pregnancy. It was a bit humid, but she got them taken quickly and we barely broke a sweat! I am glad we waited until further along in my…
With our other two kids, we’ve opted to find our their gender during the ultrasound. For Blaire, the ultrasound tech just told us. For Ben, the ultrasound tech took Blaire outside the room and gave us a blue balloon so she could be the one to tell us. So for our last baby, we thought it would be fun to do a gender reveal. I did the Sneak…
Anyone living in the modern age has struggled with the best way to make sure your photos and videos are backed up. Before I had all of my files set up to backup automatically, I used to lose sleep over what would happen if I lost Blaire’s baby photos, or the videos of her first day of life. Knowing all of those memories are living safely on a…
Fall family photos are always my favorite. The colors on the trees make for the prettiest backdrop. Whenever possible, we like to do our photos back at the country club where we met. We did our engagement photos there in the fall, so it’s just fun for me to see things come full circle. Knowing we were there at this time in 2012 taking photos of just the…
We had family photos done back in May and they turned out amazingly! We just got them all back a few weeks ago and I’m still deciding which ones to print because I love so many of them. I won a mini session with By Mari Photography over a year ago and we were finally able to get something scheduled! We did the session at Franklin Creek Park…
We finally got family photos done, for the first time since Ben’s newborn pictures back at the end of March. And I love, love, LOVE how they turned out. It was 70 degrees the Monday after Thanksgiving. Which is UNHEARD of for Illinois. I am obsessed with this location. It’s about an hour from our home, so we shot with a different photographer than we typically use. She…
Like most mamas, I LOVE pictures. I tend to be a bit of an OCD freak with all of our photos because we have so many and it’s important to me to keep track of them all. So between our phones and SD cards, I make it a point to back them up and file them “in the cloud” according to year and then month. That said, I suck…
We just received our family pictures yesterday and I am in LOVE with them! Getting that link from your photographer is such an exciting feeling! I would get family pictures taken every month if I could. They are such an amazing way to document our different seasons of life. Not to mention I love our photographer and she is the best! We had them taken while my goddaughter…
Looking through my “Draft” posts last night, I realized I put this one together back in October and never actually published it! Since I LOVE these photos so much, I figured I may as well share it now. :) To say I love our family photos is an understatement. If I had the time to sit and stare at them all day, trust me, I would. They turned…
We just received our Fall Family Photos back from our photographer and I am absolutely in love with each and every one of them! I just had to share a few here on the blog. A little back story… these photos were taken at the country club where my husband and I met three years ago. We also took our engagement pictures here (two years ago!). We are…
