Emily and Evan were in pure parenthood bliss when their sweet baby boy arrived. We had a lifestyle at-home newborn session and baby boy was so peaceful. His nursery was decorated beautifully. We went out back for some Vitamin D and heard beautiful birdsongs and chirping. Congrats, you two!

I got to experience a beautiful family reuniting again for the first time in over a year. They stayed apart during the 2020 because of COVID.

Wow, what a winter! I know in one of my previous posts, I mentioned how much this Texan loves to see snow. Well, scratch that! Ha. After this past winter storm, I’m not quite sure I’d like to see snow again! Thankfully, we all survived the long, dark days of power outages, water shut-offs, and […]
