Rhett’s at such a fun age! So many laughs, squeals, giggles and huge smiles. He’s our smiliest baby! He’s also our happiest baby! He’ll sit for an hour and play with his hands or his Mr. Moose. He’s joyful and sweet and spits up just like his brother!
This past month we took all three to Florida and when to Disney, we celebrated Graham’s 2nd Birthday, we took an impromptu trip down to my brother and sister-in-law’s house at the beach, we decided one afternoon to drive back to our hometown to get ice cream and support a friend’s business, we played in the yard, we got nice clothes on and captured a few portraits with the blossoms in our neighbor’s driveway, we went to the lake, we have friends over to the pool…… LIFE. IS. FULL….. and it’s wonderful.
You’re not going to believe this but sometimes I fear we don’t have enough pictures of our life. I know, face palm. It’s ridiculous to think that! However, I think I worry about that because I just love these sweet seasons and I don’t want to lose them. I have found a beautiful rhythm of being free to capture certain moments and then just be camera-free for others. It’s something I’ve been working on balancing since Evy was born. It’s a JOY to pull out my big camera, not a burden. I hope years from now it will be so rewarding to scroll through these posts and remember what life was like. Also, getting these blog posts together save me SO much time at the end of the year when it’s time to create a family yearbook!
So what is Rhett like this month?! Well…..
Their reward for taking pictures!
Awww, a nice lick from Sisi! ha! Welcome to the pool, Callan!
Gosh I love this shot from our hometown with hometown friend’s kids and our kids!
Our visit to Corey and Morgan’s! :
This ended poorly…..
About a week after this, his eczema on his eye went away! YAY! I realized it was actually best not to put anything on it!
I sincerely don’t know if I’ve met more of a “boy” boy. He likes to throw stuff, run into stuff, get dirty, roar, grunt, play with anything with wheels, makes motor noises, isn’t phased by falls or crashes…. Graham is a tough one!
Our new normal with Graham….
Micah wanted to be included…. hahahaha
Childhood best friend and our kids!!!!
Evy learned how to ride a bike in 20 minutes thanks to spending a year on a balance bike!
I’m sorry…. is this not the most precious thing?!?!?!
See his little smirk? That’s about as expressive as he gets!!!! Me on the other hand?! I was dying with excitement!!!!!
And then he almost plowed over the fam….
When I’m scrolling on Instagram or looking through images after a shoot, some images just stand out and capture my attention more than others!
I don’t know if I have ever photographed a more gracious bride in the most horrendous heat! Seriously, Kelsey is a literal angel on earth. She brought her entire family to Virginia from South Dakota for this portrait session and was so incredibly kind even in the midst of 100 degree heat and humidity!
Lenses are NOT cheap, so when you invest, you want to make sure you’re choosing the best option!
If you think about a wedding day and the part that makes you cringe is having to interact and direct the groomsmen, I get it.
This was one of the most beautiful ceremonies I have ever seen, but the timeline didn’t quite pan out like we had planned.. The rings got lost, hair & makeup went long, storms were rolling in and there were some stressful moments!
You’re not going to believe this but this session was probably our easiest DC engagement session to date! We had glow, no crowed, a beautiful setting and the most wonderful couple!
