Newborn/Family Pictures

 I had every intention of getting newborn pictures taken of Rosie right after she was born but sickness was on a revolving door around our house, even she got it poor thing, so they happened when she was little bigger. Tears filled my eyes when I saw these for the first time because there was something so emotional about seeing our completed family in our first picture together. I love them all so much!

A family of five ...

Those sweet little hands reaching out for their sister ....

Can't wait to watch them grow up together!

The best big siblings ever ...

Lyla is in heaven with role of big sister ...

He's the best dad in the whole world ...

Tiny hands and tiny toes ...

Love this sweet sleepy girl ...

Rosie completes us perfectly!

Family/Maternity Pictures

 Hopefully the next time I post, it will be with a baby in my arms!! Hospital bags are all packed, at the moment my house is clean (that'll change in 5 minutes from now), and we have the sweetest family/maternity pictures to document our last days as a family of four. I cry every time I imagine our kids meeting their baby sibling for the first time, along with the moment the baby is born and we finally know who is meant to be apart of our family forever. Until then, I'll be smiling away at these pictures that I'm so glad we had taken ... 

I truly believe giving my kids each other as siblings is the best gift I could ever give them. I love having a front row seat to watching the special bond they share ...

Man she's beautiful. Nic and I talk all the time about how in trouble we are going to be someday!

My body may feel like it has completely fallen apart by this point but it will never be lost on me what a blessing it has been to carry our babies ...

The picture on the right was Nic's idea and a hilarious remake of one I took of the two of them together when Liam was just a baby!

Those teeth ... such a childhood milestone. <3

The one thing I adore the most is feeling the baby move and kick ... savoring that has been my focus to get through these last couple weeks of pregnancy. 

So grateful to get to do parenthood with you, Nic Williamson!

I love this picture so much because it reminds me of one Nic took of Liam and I back when she was the tiny one in my tummy!

We're ready for you, baby! 

Family Pictures at the Apple Orchard

 We had our family pictures taken this fall at an apple orchard in Emmett and they might be my favorite pictures of our family to date! It was a bit of a trek to get there (about an hour drive with traffic) on what turned out to be one of our busiest days ever in the fall but it was so worth it. It was so laid back because our kids were surrounded by the best kind of nature to play with. Endless sticks, dandelions, and apples! We used the same photographer we've used now the last 2 years and I just adore how good she is with our kids. Not to mention, she is incredibly talented and I'm so grateful to her for sharing her gift with our family!

Here are our favorites ...

Lyla's personality shining through! ;)

My favorite picture EVER of the two of them. <3

This one absolutely steals my heart ...

I can't believe how grown up he is getting!

I adore this family we have created together.
