When my friend, Leigh, asked me to take pictures of their new family of six, I was beyond excited to capture this special time in their lives. It doesn’t matter how many kids you already have, bringing a baby home is such a wonderful, crazy, exhausting, and memorable time. I remember with my babies, there […]

It’s another month, and another Friday Faves! I can’t believe it’s November already – I’m still wondering where August went! It has been a busy but fun fall season so far for us.
