Newborn Lifestyle Session at Home: Emma Reese

April 26, 2017

My sister, her husband, and their son Luka welcomed Emma Reese last month. I had the honor of being present when Whitney gave birth to her, and as they learned that the little baby she’d been carrying all those months was a girl! We both had our boys, and then our girls, and we’re excited for these four (and whoever may come next) to grow up closely as cousins.

These first few photos were taken when Emma was just six days old. We then did their family session at home when she was 13 days old, and she happily slept through just about the whole thing.

Emma, you are the sweetest little bundle, and we’re so happy that you’re here! Auntie loves you! xo

  • More snow today and I’m just over here holding my breath it isn’t going to hinder our date night! 💃🏻 You know, that quarterly event (or so) where we get to slip out of the house, feeling free of responsibility, and then spend dinner chatting about our children and looking at cute photos of them on our phones 😜 
How often do you leave the house for a date night? What’s normal these days? 🍽
  • That feeling when you get your inbox down to zero! *or slip into the dress and marry the man of your dreams* But seriously, cleaning out that inbox was the highlight of my day. That and getting the floor mopped and receiving all kinds of sweet, wet kisses from my littlest 🙃
  • Loved you yesterday
Love you still
Always have
Always will ♥️
  • There’s just something about a snow day (or two!) ❄️
  • The winds couldn’t keep the snow away this time, and we are pretty happy that it finally came to our little corner of the pnw. Post-sledding hot cocoa + puzzles were necessary ☺️ Now we await the next storm 🌬
  • In light of #fridayintroductions, here are a few random facts you may not know about me...
👩🏻
I share my birthday with a certain groundhog and most often, the Super Bowl
😏
I used to lift weights and watch carbs, now I lift kids and eat it all, and I’m pretty good with that. 🍕
I’m a homebody who loves to travel. Most recently added high to my list of places to visit is Israel.
✈️
I think dinner leftovers are gold.
🍽
I don’t wear a ton of makeup, but it still feels weird to me to go a day without any.
🤷🏻‍♀️
I believe time is more valuable than money, and faith and family are everything. ♥️ I’m so excited to be spending my birthday weekend digging deeper into God’s Word, learning more about my Creator, at a conference with @kay.arthur. And then cheering for anyone but the Patriots.
😆
  • It could have been the idyllic ferry ride to Orcas Island, or the winding drive once we arrived, making you feel like you were on summer holiday. 
It could have been the venue, Rosario Resort, set on the water, and the scent of the sea, or the sweeping views from atop Mt Constitution. 
It could have been the palpable love between bride and groom, their joy, and how they invited everyone around them to feel it, too.

Okay, it was probably all of these things and more! Because like I said in my last post, there was something about this wedding. See more by checking out the link in profile ✨
  • There was just something about this wedding ✨ Sharing one of my favorite weddings from last year on the blog this morning. Head on over to the link in my profile to see more! 🖤
