A few weeks ago, I shared a little summary of our recent family photo session. Basically, it was a total disaster. Harper decided she wasn't having it and had meltdowns and tantrums until we left. #toddlerlife, for real. Our photographer, Crystal, from Crystal Lynn Photography (I found her via Marissa at The Simple Swan!) assured us that she got ...

What To Wear for Family Beach Photos
We are on our second year of taking family photos on the beach with Meshea Shaffer of Olive Gray Photography in Destin, Florida. We drive over an hour from Seaside just to shoot with her because her work is that amazing! Meshea has been a photographer for six years and her work is just stunning - she really capture families in the most ...
Where to Get Santa Photos in Houston
I was delighted when one of my favorite Houston photographers, Nicole Young, asked if Harper and Lincoln would be her models for the Santa photo experience she's offering! These photos are EVERYTHING. My cheeks hurt from smiling just looking at how precious they all are! We had such a great experience shooting these in-studio with Nicole - we ...
Favorite Fall Styles for Kids + A Family Day at the Farm
Every fall, we visit Old MacDonald's Farm in Humble to visit the pumpkin patch, feed the animals and go on pony rides. This was Lincoln's first year to go as a walking, talking toddler, so it was extra fun for all of us! We were thrilled to finally (no really, FINALLY) get some cooler weather in Houston last week so I was able to dress the kids in ...
Our “At Home” Family Photo Session with Olive Shoot Photography
When Nikki of Olive Shoot Photography and I scheduled a session together, I honestly wasn't sure what to think of an at-home family photo session. I had seen her work and loved the emotion and moments captured in her photos, but we had only ever done family photos that were more staged so I was used to that format (and those sessions can be so ...
Lincoln Grey: Newborn Photos
A couple of months before Lincoln was born, I contacted Ailee from Snapshots by Ailee Petrovic to book her for our newborn and family photos (you can also check out her blog, here). A lot of my friends have used her for photos and I absolutely love her work and how bright, crisp and clean her images are. Lincoln was awake for most of our session ...
Harper’s One Year Photos!
The morning of our last day in Toronto (just a few hours before we headed to the airport to catch our flight), Adam came over to capture some shots of Harper. I've known Adam for over a decade, he is one of my cousin's closest friends and we spent a lot of time together growing up. I was delighted to learn that Adam was growing his ...
Family…
Growing up, I was very close to my cousins. We lived down the street from each other and made a lot of childhood memories together. Harper met my cousin, his lovely wife, and my aunt and uncle recently and I loved seeing their reactions in person since they had previously only seen Harper in photos or videos. my mom and Harper before we ...

In this post I'm going to share some purchases and passes---and right now you can get 40% off of your entire purchase (in store + online) using the code "EVENT" at checkout. I was IN LOVE with ...
Family Brunch
On Saturday, we took Harper out for her first "official" outing. Kevin and I ate lunch at Hungry's in Rice Village and then we walked around for a bit with Harper in her stroller. Unfortunately, it had just rained and it was so humid, sticky and hot outside that we couldn't really stay out for very long because it was uncomfortable. Harper ...
