I was so excited…when Jacquie, a blog reader, left a comment on my blog’s facebook page about being from pittsburgh…I checked out her blog, The Sweeter Side of Motherhood,
and saw how completely ADORABLE it was!
She is not only a busy mama to two sweet girls.. she is a baker.. an artist..
AND a photographer.
I was so excited to connect with her and have her take some family photos for us.
Her price was incredible..it made family photos actually possible for us!
She was so good at keeping it fun for our girls while capturing great shots.
If you are in the pittsburgh area.. stop over and say Hi and schedule a shoot!
She just invited us over for a princess play date… can’t say no to that!
Even prince Micah was invited. ;)
So nice meeting other creative joyful mamas.
Happy to have connected… and excited to share our photos. :)
sorry…I couldn’t edit this down any more than this.
**Already printed and put some of these in frames I love them so much!**
LOCATION- Backyard.
My dress- target(current). sophie’s-old navy(current)
sienna’s dress- target(handmedown)
micah- polo from target, shorts(handmedown)
Our neighbor was so sweet to let us use part of their yard…
he even went out and mowed it and scrubbed down the benches!!
I love my man.
He is my rock. and ‘he’s got da muscles.’
Thanks for following a long as our family has grown.
Feels like just yesterday we had sophie!
and then sienna! and then micah!
We are so blessed… exhausted-ly blessed. ;)
We are going to try and do family photos more often….
most of our family photos are taken with a phone camera!
So glad we have these memories captured. Love these sweet people.

June 22, 2013 at 11:23 pmNatalie, I just discovered your blog and i am hooked. looking through all your photos brings back memories of my favorite apartment that my husband and i lived in before we bought a fixer upper house. i miss the bright and airy feeling and the coziness of our small, but functional space. You’ve inspired me to get back to decorating with what brings me happiness verses what will be best for entertaining or what would look more sophisticated for the house, etc, etc.
Thank you for sharing your photos and tips. Your family is beautiful!
