Nolan’s First Day of School with FabKids

I cannot believe that my first born starts kindergarten this year! Watching him prepare to begin school, it feels like Nolan has grown overnight from a newborn to this independent four-year-old. Like so many experiences in motherhood, this, too, is bittersweet. I am so excited to see him go to school, but at the same time, I’m a little sad that he won’t be in the house all day. When FabKids reached out about collaborating on a look for his first…

Scarlet Reese is HERE!

Shark Bait – Fin First Summer
Nolan’s shirt Anyone else embracing summer with open arms? It might be 1,000 degrees out and I am super duper pregnant but we love this time of year! My family spends as much time outdoors as possible during the nice weather. This means daily trips to the pool and weekly trips to the beach to play in the sand. Nolan is into dressing himself these days and his favorite shirts to wear come from Fin First. We love this local brand not only because our super talented friends own and design each piece by hand but because each design was created with a story. Their website says it best: “As…

Beach Maternity Session
maternity dress | Derrek’s shirt | shorts | Harper’s dress | Nolan’s jeans A few weeks ago, we had the opportunity to have a beach photo shoot with Savvy Alli Photography. Allison Denton is the creative photographer behind the camera and we love, love, love the pictures she was able to capture. I told her about my dress, this magical blush pink silk convertible dress by Nuova Vita Maternity and the vision I had for a simple beach sunset shoot. Allison took my visions and turned them into magic. She was even able to get great shots of us as a family and the kids together! I have been lucky enough to…
