{ our prince has arrived!! }
Posted on April 18, 2013
He’s here … I’m in love and taking time to simply soak in this beautiful time in our life. I’ll be back soon to post photos of our baby Silas and tell his birth story (we had a water home birth that was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life).

{ almost time }
Posted on March 29, 2013
So, I am in dire need of a new blog post here! I’ve been just soaking up every little thing in this pregnancy, since it will be my last (that makes me so sad!!!). I’ll come back when the girlies are asleep and the little man is kicking me all night to post an update! Here’s a little photo diptych I took a couple days ago. I have a feeling our little boy will be joining us very soon (I’m 39 weeks on Sunday).
You can find my maternity session self portrait photos here.

{ nesting time … }
Posted on February 16, 2013
I know I’ve been absent for quite some time, but with the little boy on the way (less than two months now!!), two little girls to love on and a pretty bad POTS flare up I’ve been dealing with, I haven’t had much energy left over to blog as well.
I’ll come back soon and share my little maternity shoot I did a couple weeks ago … with the tripod and self-timer and a little help from my husband, Scott!
And, I’ve been in full on nesting mode the past couple weeks! As I set up and organized some of the little things for baby boy I snapped a few shots. Notice I’m starting him off with little hints at photography-love all around him (he’ll be sleeping with us, so this is technically just a place for his clothes for now, LOL). Edited with Paint the Moon Luminosity Photoshop actions.

{ It’s a …. what? Are you sure?! A boy!!! }
Posted on December 20, 2012

Oh my … it’s a boy!! We are up for an all new and exciting adventure around here – not just three kiddos, but a BOY too! The girls seem to be most excited about the prospect of dressing their baby brother up like a girl … maybe I shared too many stories of me and my baby brother with them, LOL! I hope he loves unicorns, fairies and pink things because our playroom and half of the house are covered in girly things!
Some 19 week belly shots of me … not perfect, as they are all self portraits (see my assistant in the bottom photo, who held up her lambie so I could set focus).


And my little assistant …

{ a really, really good reason … }
Posted on November 14, 2012
I promise I have a good reason for once again disappearing from my little blog here! I’ll let the photo do the talking for now and be back soon with some real talking (because there is a heck of a lot to talk about now, LOL)!!
And another silly outtake (my eyes disappear when I’m super duper happy like I am here) …

I am also a work at home mom You have a beautiful growing family and I can’t wait to hear about Silas.
I just wanted to tell you that you’re an inspiration. I have chronic daily migraines (I actually end every day with a migraine and suffer with pain, loss of vision, nausea and the likes throughout everyday) and so many people have told me that my dream of being a mother might not be an option anymore, or that I would have to cut back on the things I wanted like cloth diapers because they would add stress to my life and give me more migraines. To see someone else suffering through a chronic illness and not only surviving, but actually thriving, gives me so much hope. Instead of going into motherhood and looking at starting a family with fear, I’m now excited and motivated, and that’s 100% thanks to reading your story.
I saw this pop up in my reader and I was so excited thinking I would finally get to see his picture! lol
Clicked to vote for you! LOVE your site…especially your photography…just stunning. A+ from me!

how lovely..congratulations and can’t wait to see the photos
congratulations. welcome to the world little prince
Congratulations Annie! Can’t wait to see some more photos and hear about this Homebirth! (I’ve always wanted one!) xx
Please tell us length weight and date!!! I see his pictures but never his weight and length
One of the most beautiful pictures I’ve seen! such an adorable family
I’ve always kind of wondered why a baby’s weight is such a common question with the miracle of bringing a new life into the world … but since you asked, he is perfectly healthy and beautiful, we had an amazing home water birth and he just happened to weigh 7lb 14oz (would’ve probably been 8lb if he hadn’t pooped just as my midwife was putting him in the sling to weigh him, LOL). Since then he’s gained another 2lbs 4oz in two weeks.
I wish little prince all the very best. Share some pictures with us. Love to see him.
I just found your blog from Top Mommy Blogs and it is gorgeous! Your photos are fantastic. Congratulations on your sweet little prince too!
Welcome beautiful Silas! Love the bullentin board, is this DIY or where did you find??? I did DIY last year but not happy with how it turned out
Just had a chance to see if you posted anything new…..love the bulletin/chalkboard. Will check back later for new photos. I know you are enjoying three!
