Hello 2013!

Ahhh it's been soo long since I last blogged.. terrible, I know. Things are just soo crazy around here, but I'm hoping to change things around for 2013 :) I'm two weeks late with this post but I didn't want to let it go any longer... I want to thank all of my 2012 clients from the bottom of my heart. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. I loved meeting new faces & continued building stronger relationships with past clients. I always feel honored to be documenting your family and lives.

Sit back & enjoy because here's a look back into 2012

Merry Christmas!

From our family to yours... Wishing everyone a merry Christmas eve! Enjoy your love ones & don't forget to tell them how much they mean to you because tomorrow is never guaranteed! xo

Emma's ballerina birthday party!

I'm really excited to share this entry with you. It's really close to my heart. Approximately a month ago my husband & I decided to have a birthday party for our daughter Emma. I'll be honest, at first we weren't going to do anything. Or maybe just a little cake here at home with the grandparents. But that was it. Then, I began thinking about it. And eventually had a change of heart. We decided to make this about celebrating the love & happiness our daughter has brought us & those near to us! For many reason tons of babies don't make it to their first birthday & that in itself was a reason to celebrate. I knew for sure I wanted this celebration to be intimate and full of joy! So that's what we did...
Looking back, all the hard work paid off seeing Emma laugh & enjoy herself that day. I had a blast making most of the details (which she can careless about today, but hopefully one day will cherish). I love crafting so it truly was a ton of fun!


A whole-hearted thank you to all who attended... you all hold a special place in our hearts.



Baby girl, may God continue to bless your life & keep you healthy and safe in His will... We love you more than words and actions can express! This past year has exceeded our exceptions. I never knew I could love someone soo much. Your everything I ever dreamed in a child and more. I love your kind heart & warm hugs. Morning snuggles are the best with you. I know I say this like all the time, but I'm truly blessed to be your mommy.
