Amelia is 18 months!

This sweet family invited me into their home and I learned all the things their baby girl Amelia loves - her momma, Lola, books, outside!! and bath time. This is why I adore in-home lifestyle sessions. I get to meet and capture families in their element and it's the best!

Seriously you can give Amelia her books and she'll be happy for dayys! And of course, give me all the mommy-and-baby snuggles and I will be (shutter) happy forever!

Psst! Leave this family some love here, if they get 10+ comments on this blog post, they will receive a complimentary 8×10″ print of their favorite image!

Oskar is ONE!

Alright, technically Oskar turned ONE a month ago. A month and a day ago to be exact. What I am trying to say is that I dropped the ball on sharing these on time. But better late than never, yeah?

For Oskar's actual birthday, I bought him a slice of a sheet cake from a grocery store. No party, no fuss. We had a nice dinner as a family, cheered him on while he destroyed that slice of cake and it was perfect!

Feeling a little bad/negligent about not throwing him a party, I decided to bake him a proper birthday cake a couple days late. Then it sort of turned into a full cake smash session! Oooops! Oskar wasn't a fan of the headpiece but loved the cake. Of course, Ari was willing to do anything (aka wear the headpiece) to get some frosting action! 

P.S. I think this is my third personal blog post since I started this little space. What do you guys think? Should I share more personal content or nah? Honestly creating "content" on the regular for the blog seems like such a daunting task. (serious respect to all the mommy/lifestyle bloggers out there!) But maybe I will share bits and pieces of us when I feel inspired do so and I hope you follow along.

Meet Baby Cal!

Connie + Kent recently welcomed a darling baby boy Cal and I was super lucky to meet him + capture his adorableness! Of course, his big (fur) brother, Lenny had to get some kisses in, (was forced to) lay with Cal and steal the show a bit.

I just adore everything about this family - gorgeous + talented momma, hands-on dad, sweet baby Cal, cute little house with charm, #nurserygoals, Lenny and his big personality and most of all their positivity and LOVE! Congrats again, Gliadon family!
