I wanted to have some fun and do a shoot of my own for Gabe’s birthday. I made a second cake and set the scene. While these photos are far from great, we had fun taking them. Littles have no interest in staying in one place for long and these photos show that. While I…

Gabriel’s One Year Photos
A year later… walking, laughing, eating cake. No longer the little infant cradled in our arms. No longer the confident army crawler. But still the happy, even keeled boy who so easily nestled himself into our hearts. One year strong. To capture Gabe’s one year photos, we worked with Michelle Smarr of Smartypants Photography. A…
Life with Gabe: Year 1
About a month after Gabe was born I started posting pictures of him with the hashtag #lifewithgabe over on Instagram (my social media of choice. There’s even a widget over on the right side of your screen with my latest photos.) They are exactly as it sounds, life with him. They are the in the…
Eleven Months
Late again… sitting in the draft folder for a couple of weeks. This is my reality. Cheers! Happy 11 month birthday blue eyes! We’ve almost made it to the one year mark… what a difference a year makes. December was a blast. Between the developmental leaps and Christmas all kinds of interesting stuff went on….
Ten Months
Busy busy month! I knew in the back of my mind I wasn’t going to get this update out on time. With hosting Friendsgiving, buying a car, and a week long trip down to Southern California for Thanksgiving, November disappeared quickly. December is already feeling like it’s out the door as well but that is…
Nine Months
October was a busy month for both us as a family and in Gabe’s growth. Sometimes it feels hard to keep up with the leaps and little things that are happening. Things can be pretty uneventful or there will be a small thing here and there and then bam! Big changes. Though sometimes I think…
Family Photos 2015
Last month something came up where we needed an updated family picture and we needed it pretty quick. We didn’t want to use one from the newborn shoot because well… Gabe was a newborn! He has grown so much and I wanted that reflected in the photos. It needed to be a good picture too….
Six Months: Movement, Touch, & Exploration
Six months is here! It has been a fascinating month seeing his growth expressed. He has gone from fragile baby to sturdy strong and eager to explore. When I hold him he now has this compulsion to look around the room, lock eyes on an item and reach out for said item. And then we…
Scripture Songs
Early on in my pregnancy I realized that every time I sang to God I was given a gift. While praising God I was at the same time singing over Gabe. Gabe heard every word I sang out. Same for when we would meet for prayer before church. Every word I spoke was spoken over…
Five Months: Leaps, Bounds, & Turned Upside Down
What can I say about five months? Leaps, bounds and a sleep schedule that got turned upside down. After the last update we really started finding a groove but right when things were good there was this slow progression into upside down. I’m learning that transitions are the things that throw me off. When things…
Gabriel’s Newborn Photos Pt.2
For the first set of photos click here. The second set of newborn photos is from Stephanie Morgan. Stephanie was our birth photographer and how can you not have the person who documented the birth of your child do his newborn photos as well? Despite being quite aways away from us she was more than…
Gabriel’s Newborn Photos Pt.1
Now that the little guy is 4 months old, it is due time to share his newborn photos. Will shared some on his site but I would like to post some here for posterity’s sake. Having newborn photos done was never a question. Given how brief that stage of life is we thought it was…
