MIDWEEK favorites

Yes I did….I did what I told myself I wasnt going to do. I skipped a week of MIDWEEK favorites….and my head hangs verrry low! I was traveling and then got sick, so even trying to be fashionably late with it was out of the question. How about I make up for it this week! Check ‘em out!:)

1 | I’m at it again….reading about this! I will have some of my own….one day!

2 | I’m really into anything floral these days and LOVE this comfy and cute dress!

3 | I just bought this on etsy for A.L.O.T less! High five!!

4 | These didnt last long! They were sooo good, we had to share with neighbors and friends! Didn’t add the coconut shavings, but will next time!:)No more break’n'bake for us!!

5 | I can’t think of anything cuter for a little person’s bathroom! This has CUTE written all over it!

6 | Do you read your food labels? You might have to start unless you want to be surprised like this blogger was. Even if it was incorrect packaging, I guess you need to just double check to make sure you’re getting what you’re paying for! (P.S Love me some full fat organic butter!)

7 | Looking to dress up your camera?? LOVE how girly and soft this lacy strap is!

8 | My sister introduced me to this blog! WOW, just wow!  I’m taken back more and more each time I read. Such an amazing human being and such an amazing family!

9 | Make a unique piece using a photograph and your child’s PS art!;)So creative!

10 | And this, my friends, is amazing!

11 | How about this awesome collection of photo displaying ideas? Love the giant polaroids!:)

12 | My obsession with the classic red and white polka dots is not going anywhere anytime soon! In love with this cute set! Would make a great gift for a certain little pre-school grad I know!;)

13 | Who’s ready for summer??? Hehe

14 | Are you part of the tassel garland craze? Such a pretty color combo on this one! Check out the rest of the site for everything party!!

Great list! You know I’m going to comment on all of these! That is a steal on that antique house shelf. I am seeing those more and more nowadays? Making a comeback? I too love polka dots ;)

Thanks Carrie! Yes, I do love it! With a couple minor adjustments, it can look a bit more modern like the one on fermliving. I like that it’s an older one though. More character that way.

Siblings…

I love a good brother/sister combo! Especially this age! I love love love when parents call to have their ‘older’ children photographed. So many folks stop at the early school age…and I’m not quite sure why. I didn’t get any kind of memo saying professional pictures of your children should stop once they reach a certain age! So a shout out to this sweet duo and their parents..and all my other clients that fit this category!:)

MIDWEEK favorites

Have a lot of goodness for ya this week! Let’s just say I went a little overboard:)

1 | Ever wanted to spruce up the back of your bookshelves? Here’s another creative way to incorporate family photos into your space that will surely demand oohs and ahhs!

2 | This was absolutely divine!

3 | I’m so grateful for the fact that, growing up, we moved around alot and I got to see so many different countries and experience things as a child that most people don’t get to in a lifetime. However, there is a teeny tiny part of me that wishes I could relate to this.

4 | I can spend hours, upon hours, upon hours on this site! Currently obsessed with this artist. Had to snag a few of his pieces!

5 | A new clothing company I came across! Someone hide my wallet now!! Great pieces for your photoshoot!;)

6 | Got a modern nursery/playroom? How about this A to Z poster?! Not only cute, but so creative!

7 | Little by little I’m trying to turn the girls’ room into a room I love. Being in a (very temporary) rental, it isnt so easy, haha. I’m new to the bunting world, and so I just ordered my first one! LOVE it and so pleased with how it looks. Will have to  post pics soon!;)

8 | Might need to get this for the summer!

9 | Design Sponge has yet another great diy project that you can do even with the kiddos!! Who doesn’t love stickers?

10 | I’m super low-maintanence and I don’t love to spend hours on my hair. So many hair tutorials on the web (pinterest, seriously get a grip…not interested!!!)…..until…I actually took the time to watch this one. Yay me! If you see me with good hair, it’s because I walked around for a couple hours looking like princess Leia!

**I dont take myself too seriously…but my hair sure looks good!;)

11 | Swimsuit season is upon us, and I’m loving all the vintage inspired suits! Feast your eyes on these cute suits! Your little fashionista can be cute and modest this summer with a classic one-piece! Love this and this  and I snatched this one on sale for my little squishy love bug!

12 | I wonder….what would happen if I showed up to a shoot in this. Things could go very bad, very fast.

I didnt peg you for a country music fan ;) Love this series….you crack me up!

um that clothing website for kids is adorbs! georgia so needs to model that line with her big hair…

loving this series. how in the world do you find such cute websites?

My girls….

I rarely post any pictures of my girls. Not here and not really even on Facebook as much as I should. I get a lot of slack from my friends and family for it. Instagram is where you’ll probably catch glimpses of little moments…and 99% of them involve the girls. (Welcome to the life of a mom).  I do break out the ‘big’ camera from time to time for our every day pics and still try and make sure I stop from our craziness to do actual shoots with them. I have a gazillion pictures…and they’re all on my computer (yes, guilty as charged). My husband gives me a hard time about the framed photos in our house and wonders if I got the memo that we have two children now. Poor Mara…she’s such the second child (as am I…you’d think I’d over compensate for the fact that I had barely any pics of me growing up). Anyhoo…trying to do a better job with pics of my kids and get them organized and printed (books and on the walls of our home). Maybe I should start a personal section to this blog. We’ll see…baby steps!  For now..just wanted to post just this one pic of our easter/spring shoot we did just because they are so cute!:)I got their little vintage dresses on etsy and they just looked like little dolls. Hopefully I’ll be back with more soon!:)

Your girls are precious! What a sweet picture!

i wanna squeeze mara…

A beautiful story….

I’ve photographed this family for a looong time now!:)Even pre-kids. I have loved watching their family grow and just recently learned of a new addition coming….hopefully and prayerfully soon! Allison shares her story about adopting here. I just love hearing about God’s plans coming to fruition in others’ lives. He led her and her husband down one path…only to bring them back right where they started. And now they celebrate that in obedience to God and love to others…specifically a little girl somewhere in China.  Here are some images from our session together that highlight their upcoming adoption!

She’s so stinkin’ cute!

Even Bubbles is excited!:)
