  • Little Red Riding Hood

  •     This little cutie's 1st birthday theme was Little Red Riding Hood. Her best buddy, Diesel, was the big bad wolf. And now we're off to trick-or-treating with the little one! Happy Halloween all.
  • M's 1st Birthday Party (x2)

  • With my family living 2 hours north of Lancaster, it's often easier to have double the parties, double the fun. It's just too hard to get grandparents to travel that far & it's nice to include family from both my husband's side & mine. I chose to theme Mikayla's party "Little Red Riding Hood" style, for no othe[...]
  • 365 days ago, Little M was born.

  • I'm not going to get all sappy & sentimental here. I'll just let the pictures speaks all the words. We love you Mikayla. I hope you had a wonderful 1st birthday today :) I'll post her Birthday Party (Part 1) early next week. Her Birthday Party (Part 2) begins tomorrow! First, a quick glance back at her morning [...]
  • Kiddo Lifestyle | Mikayla at 12 months

  • I made it my mission to ensure that I captured Mikayla at 12 months with a few mini sessions of my own. My sister-in-law helped me setup M's 1st cake smash session along with outdoor tubby-time. 1st mini session is as follows. Stay tuned for her halloween shoot to be posted near the end of October!
  • Kiddo Lifestyle | Mikayla 9-12 months

  • Sleeping: A typical night of sleep now starts around 8:30. She was routinely waking around 2 a.m. for feedings for several nights a few weeks back. I know that I feel better when I can get a solid chunk of sleep versus being awakened in between. Therefore, I thought I'd attempt to beat the system and begin dreamfeeding[...]
  • Kiddo Lifestyle | Mikayla at 9 months

  • Sleeping: You would think by 9 months that a baby would like to sleep all night. Not the case with this girl. She must miss me too much and prefers to see me at least once during the nighttime hours. She has given me just a few all-nighters since 7 months... but they are the rare & few. She prefers to sleep on her [...]
  • Kiddo Lifestyle | Mikayla at 7 months

  • { 7 months already! Where has the time gone? } Sleeping: Mikayla is now sleeping through the night (or waking once for a nursing occasionally). I think ever since she figured out that she could sleep on her belly... she's been sleeping so much better. At first I was totally nervous to watch her flip onto her belly w[...]
  • Tails + Paws | Diesel Turns 2!

  • Another year older... another reason to be the crazy dog lady who bakes her pup a special birthday cake. His favorite treats are ice cubes, carrots & peanut butter. Unfortunately, we were out of carrots since I just pureed a bunch for his sister. So this year,  I subbed out the carrots for apples & bananas. I a[...]
  • Mikayla's First Easter

  • Bunny ears, bunny tails, lamb ears... the things you do to babies for the seasons & holidays. I'm big on the themes, what can I say. I think that the next time I do another shoot of little Miss M, I'll wait until my husband or my Mom is around to help assist. I had sweat dripping off of me by the end of this fia[...]
  • Kiddo Lifestyle | Mikayla at 4 months

  • So... my camera was unfortunately broken (needed a new circuitboard) since the beginning of the new year. Canon finally returned it to me fixed... therefore, beware the upcoming baby spam. I was going crazy not being able to capture high quality photos of my daughter the last 2 months. Thank goodness I had it for wh[...]
