I am so excited to share Jane Evelyn’s newborn photos today! I’m so grateful to Randy Yeats for capturing these special images. Because of her early arrival and NICU stay, we never got to take newborn photos with Ivy Jean which honestly still makes me sad. I am so glad we got to take these and capture so many sweet photos of our two precious girls together. I will cherish them forever. Truly, I do not have the right words.…
My mom, sister, and best friend threw me the most amazing baby shower this past weekend. I cannot begin to tell you how special it was! Russ and Ivy Jean came as we wanted her to feel included and part of it all. We were surrounded with family and close friends. Don’t worry, we all wore our masks and kept it small! It was different than I ever thought but it didn’t stop the feeling of celebration over this special…

I have been loving these puffer vests from Old Navy as a light layer over anything lately! At $39, always on sale, and available in 7 colors, they are a steal compared to the price on most similar options. I couldn’t resist buying Ivy Jean one in her size and matching in our puffer vests. Is she just not the cutest thing you’ve ever seen in hers?? We got about one useable photo which is why that’s all you see. 😉 We took…
