The fact that I got to photograph both of my daughter’s newborn sessions is so special, and I love how Emmaline’s newborn session turned out. Here are some of my favorites from her shoot.

emmaline’s newborn session – behind the scenes
Despite my months of planning for Rylie’s newborn photo session, I was so focused on just getting Emmaline here that I didn’t give newborn photos much of a thought. But on Wednesday (4.11.18), I broke out my newborn props and picked up my DSLR to photograph our newest addition. Since my mom was in town, she […]
our maternity session – emmaline
I am definitely someone who puts a high priority on getting maternity photos taken. I find so much value in having photos that show off my bump and the style of our family. I have loved looking back on the ones we took when I was pregnant with Rylie, so I was excited to have […]
letters to emmaline || 24 weeks in my belly
My dear Emmaline, Are you cozy in my belly? You’ve just started kicking me hard enough that I can feel it and it’s been so fun to feel you move around. At our ultrasounds, the tech tells us that you are very active, so I have a sneaky feeling you’ll be a very energetic […]
happy 1st birthday rylie
Can someone please explain to me how my little cuddly Fall baby is now a mobile 1 year old? It went by so quickly but was so jam-packed with new and exciting memories that it feels like it went slowly. Regardless, Rylie Annalise is 1 today! Over this past weekend, we made her a smash […]
our little batgirl
Rylie wanted to wish everyone a Happy Fall! And let’s be real – these photos are too cute not to put on the blog! 😉 I had to get some photos of her and Daddy. And the way she kisses melts us ❤
july 4th, 2017
On TUESDAY, we celebrated THE 4TH OF JULY! It was Rylie’s very 1st 4th of July, so I continued my tradition of “taking themed photos every holiday” and took some photos of her in her sweet 4th of July outfit. That’s the biggest bow we own, & it’s the biggest bow we’ll ever own. 😂 […]
des moines marina photo session
SATURDAY (6.17.17) we packed up from staying at the Mark’s house and headed down to the Des Moines Marina to do a little family photo shoot. It was so much fun! Lizzie provided me with a little bit of a “challenge” since you can’t tell a toddler to stand still and smile but I feel like I got some […]
cora’s 1st birthday party
On Sunday (5.28.17), we celebrated our sweet friend Cora that we know from our mom+baby small group (we call it “Mama Tribe”). She is the oldest in the group so it was our very first birthday party. The theme was Tacos & Tutus, and all the girl baby guests were encouraged to wear a tutu. […]
happy easter 2017
We’ve successfully celebrated Rylie’s 1st Easter! 😀 It wasn’t super “easter-y,” mainly because I didn’t see the point in getting her an Easter basket or doing an egg hunt (you better believe I’m doing that next year though!!! 😛 ), but we had a great, full morning of church (if you want to see our […]
