Locks of Love x 2
I took the kiddos and myself to my friend for some hair-trim-ups today, and had an unexpected life-changing experience. It’s been two years since we chopped Miss J’s hair to donate to Locks of Love, and her hair has grown quite long, so we checked to see if she had enough length to donate again. Sure enough, she did. But her haircut ended up being a bit shorter than she wanted. I could see her trying to be brave and holding herself together in that chair, so I said, “Why don’t we see if mine is long enough to do it too?” And it was! So we both ended up with some super-short dos. All together, we got 6 ponytails to send off. Woot!
Afterwards, we wrangled Kayla into shooting some photos of our new looks, and she didn’t disappoint:
Feeling like a new woman,

Baby Girl Announcement…
I have been designing baby announcements since baby Kay was born. Here is one that I put together yesterday.
When you book your Newborn session with me, I have galleries of baby announcemets to pick from for your baby!

Sneak Peak of Kaymn’s Beautiful Blessing Dress
Here is a quick sneak peak of Kaymn’s blessing dress from One Small Child (it isn’t on their site yet, but will be soon!). I haven’t got her pictures taken in the dress yet, therefore I cannot show you what the whole dress looks like. I figured I would let your minds imagine it for now. All I can say is she looked like a princess yesterday!
Summer Day
A quiet afternoon at the lake with cousins, snacks, sand, sun, swimming…perfect.
Wishing you all the same,
Audrey
Flower Crops
More on my continuing quest to re-purpose long pants for summer: these little crops can’t be more simple: take a pair of too-short jeans (can you tell we’re a jeans family?), fold and stitch the cuffs in place. To dress them up, add a pretty fabric flower pin–this little idea makes my head spin with all the possibilities…you can have custom-looking pants, skirts, whatever for any occasion using anything you want!
Dizzy-lizzy love,
Audrey
6 weeks
Man, time has flown. My precious baby girl is 6 weeks old today. We have had a great time having her in our family, and have been adjusting well. She sure is growing and is now up to 9 lbs 12 oz, and she’s a great baby to boot! Today I took her out to take a few pictures of her to post. She really likes to be outside, so she was a great for pictures….
We absolutely love these stinkin cute “Monkey toes”. She usually has them spread out like her hands. The photo below was snapped while doing Ann Marie and Chelsea’s photo shoots–I had to get a picture of Miss Kay on this washer just like her older sister Kodie.
Okay, now on to the real reason that I wanted to post today. Kaymn is 6 weeks old and I am now booking sessions. Since I’m excited to get back to work, I thought I’d share the love with all of you and offer special pricing of $75 on sessions booked and photographed by July 31st.
A Little Loopy
I love hooks! They’re my go-to organizing solution and I have them everywhere in my home. I especially like hooks on doors.
I have a tiny bathroom, so I hang my boy’s towels on his door. But towels don’t always behave the way I want: they slip off the hooks from time to time, and I don’t like to pick them up!
In fact, I’m tired of picking them up. So these towels and I had a little date with my sewing machine.
And now we’ve come to an amicable agreement:
Have a beautiful weekend!

Hatched
The eggs hatched yesterday morning…these birds have camouflage down. The chickees were still around last night, and fluffier and cuter, but they’re gone now.
Colorful
I owe a very special thank you to this little guy for helping me to get such great smiles out of Miss Chelsea. Also, a thanks to ML for carrying my baby around and assisting me on this photo session.
Here are a few more pictures that I wanted to share from Chelsea’s session….
Until next time…..Kayla
