Here it is! Post one of twelve! I’m committing, once again, to blogging my favorite images each month of Everett’s first year and I’m excited about it because I know from past experience that this is truly the BEST motivation and accountability to stay on top of family editing!!
While I may not be able to capture everything cute and fun that is happening with my big camera these days, I still bring it out here and there when it feels right. I really enjoy capturing my children in the season of life that we’re in right now. I can already look back on our past family albums and enjoy the in between “life moments” that make up our current reality as a young family right now. It’s the unprompted, unposed, un-curated pictures that end up being my absolutely favorites!!!
This blog post isn’t just of Rhett’s sweet face, it’s a visual documentation of what our overall life looked like his first month!! I think when I look back at the past four weeks, I think about how fast they have flow by! It seems like we just came home from the hospital a few days ago but here we are with three kids!! It’s been challenging, but more than that, it’s been so much fun. I love seeing Evy and Graham love on their new brother and want to see him every single morning. There are so many things that I want to remember from this first month as a family of 5 so here we go! :
THINGS I WANT TO REMEMBER:
Christmas eve with a three day old!!!
It was the year of the trampoline!!!
The Christmas Eve Christmas story with Grandaddy!
Corey and Momo meet Rhett!!!
Oh Harper!!!
The whole crew!
The sweetest!
I take pictures with my real camera for the 2% chance that I capture images like this…. I love this!
Micah’s birthday!!!
Momo’s parents (Greg and Donna!) got to meet the babies!
This is such a GRAHAM photo!
Please notice Evy dancing in the background….
I cherish these photos of Evy before her accident and she lost her teeth!
Favorite picture of 2021 so far!
Fake sleeping!
Please don’t miss that Graham “shirt pull” by Dada. We can’t trust him! He just loves Rhett a little too intensely!
Our sweet blue-eyed boy!
Rhett’s face! So unsure!!!
Annnnnd he got licked. ha! Now we know why he looked so worried!
Oh my sweet girl…. you had such a rough week. You busted out two teeth on a playground accident at the Lake House and I think I cried almost as much as you did.
Evy took this!
Thank goodness for our Mimi!
Merry Christmas to Dada!
First bath!!!! And I had so many wonderful/wild helpers!
The look on his face says it all!! She really wanted to help!
Brothers. I didn’t grow up witnessing this dynamic in our own family but I’ve heard it’s sweet!
Rhett you are such a precious little nugget!
I found her “reading” to him!
This was the night we drove down to Virginia Beach for 1.5 hours of a gender reveal for Corey and Morgan with all six kids and we would do it again in a heartbeat! Such a special night!!!
Harper turned TWO!!! k
I just can’t get over his sweet face!!
If you’ve ever walked into a photo session and silently panicked about where to shoot… If you’ve ever crossed your fingers hoping golden hour would save you… If you’ve ever opened Lightroom thinking, “I don’t even know how to fix this lighting…”
Three years ago, Michael and I helped launch a school that would completely reshape our family’s life, and the lives of so many others. This past weekend, we traveled to Austin, Texas, for the annual Acton Academy Owners Conference, and I left with so much to share.
I haven’t done one of these Where I Am updates in a few weeks, and honestly? It’s because life has felt full and fast…but also slow and sweet in ways I didn’t expect!
You know those images that just glow? The ones where the lighting feels effortless, the tones are dreamy, and everything looks polished—even if it was taken in a less-than-perfect spot?
This week’s Where I Am is short, sweet, and exactly what it’s meant to be: a quick check-in on life, faith, and business.
Some sessions are special because of the people. Some sessions are special because of the place. And then there are sessions like this one… where everything comes together to create something truly unforgettable.
