One of my sweet friends who is also a new mom AND a photographer did something absolutely incredible – she opened her own children’s boutique!! I still cannot get over how cool that is, I don’t even know how you go about starting that journey but she is a boss so if anyone could do […]

August is finally here and it is one of my *favorite* months because it’s my birthday month!! We have SO MUCH going on this month; my sister-in-law is due with her baby, on her birthday, which is also my BFF’s birthday. Alfred and I have a mini vacay planned over my birthday weekend. Some creative […]

WE’RE BACK, BABY!!! After having Vivian (who is 10 months old now!!) I decided to take a little break from blogging & style guides. Getting into our new routine & enjoying time as a family was so refreshing, but to be totally honest, I really missed blogging!! I had a schedule packed & ready to […]

Not gonna lie, this was probably the least enjoyable style guide shoot we have done to date… it was 100 degrees outside, we were all sweating through our clothes and Ellie was not having any of it! Luckily we found a little coy pond that distracted her, but of course it was then impossible to […]

July is one HOT & humid month here in Virginia, and taking these pictures in the heat was no joke! We took pictures for about five minutes before calling it quits, and I was already sweating through everything! Now normally I am not one for matching, I generally like to coordinate rather than match. However, […]

Another month, another style guide! While I am happy that the cold is officially gone for good now, the humidity in Virginia is killer. So this months outfits had to keep us cool! I’m now about 5 1/2 months pregnant, and I am pretty much exclusively wearing dresses for the foreseeable future. All the details: […]

May is one of those crazy months in our household – my busy season is starting to hit full swing with weddings & portraits, the days are longer so we like to bring Ellie to the park & around town, and Alfred just started his MBA program. So I am very happy that we were […]

Spring has FINALLY sprung in Virginia!! We are finally able to get out and enjoy the parks and walk to Carl’s for ice-cream (one of our favorites!) Last year Ellie was still a bit too petite to really enjoy a lot of parks or outside activity in general, but this year is shaping up to […]

We decided to turn on the sass for our March style guide, which is fitting for Ellie’s current mood – which typically includes head shakes, dirty looks, and even the occasional eye role. (Scroll down to the last pic if you don’t believe me!) My mom got her this adorable pink moto jacket from 7 […]

February is finally here & I am so excited to continue the mommy & me style guides! While February is certainly not one of my favorite months, it does mean we are one month closer to Spring (thank goodness!) For this month’s style guide I wanted to make sure our outfits were warm & also […]
