Baby Juliette -- Cutest baby in Chicago
When we were kids, she told me she wanted a big family… I didn’t believe her.
2018 was one for the books! I can confidently say that I have never been busier in my life; business was good and three kids felt like what I used to imagine 10 kids would feel like. Mix in the consistent babysitter struggle with a side of preschool volunteer commitments and you’ve got crickets on the blog front. But, here I am again, breathing slower, with a catch up blog post for you to enjoy (thanks to my new reliable babysitter!). My January calendar includes a few newborns scattered here and there, Disney photos of the preschoolers, and a lot of work/life balance (fingers crossed). Maybe I’ll even come up with a “word/phrase for the year.” Current contenders: simplify, self-care, learn to say “no”, & choose sleep. Suggestions welcome.
Below is one photo from each session/wedding since July. Perhaps the next post will cover the first half.
Moving is always bittersweet. This precious family is soaking up the final days in their current home. Although they are moving into more space and a house that they get to update in their own style, they are moving away from the home where they became a family of four, and that is a big deal. My job was to capture this moment in their family journey. I loved every second.
PS- Have you ever heard of Coffee and Crumbs? My friend Ashlee started this collaborative blog about motherhood and she's basically famous. And rules.
The realness of this family makes me want to be their best friend.
Max, Beau, and their mama met me at the Cosumnes River Preserve in Galt a couple weekends ago. We snapped some photos, licked some lollipops, and *enjoyed* some wilderness.
