Recent Photography Sessions

Filed Under: Photography

I have been a busy little bee with recent photography sessions lately. With the newborn photos from a couple weeks ago. Then this past week I had four sessions over a two day period! That is a lot for me, so right now I am working on editing all the photos. Lots of late nights this week.

Recent Photography Sessions

Last Wednesday I had a cake smash session for Gavin, plus a  4 year session for his sister. Gavin was LOVING his cake and was hamming it up for the camera.

Recent Photography Sessions

I just love this one of Mackenzie with her pony, I mean unicorn. This shot took a lot of time, photos, and tears, but we got it. Poor Mackenzie fell down some stairs right before the session so she wasn’t her normal, cheerful self.

Recent Photography Sessions

After the cake smash session, I had a Spring Mini Session that had gotten rescheduled a few times. It was such a gorgeous evening. I am kind of glad it was rescheduled.

Recent Photography Sessions

Thursday I got to head down to the Outer Banks for a photography session with Natalie & Tate. We had so much fun, can’t wait to share more photos from this session soon!

Recent Photography Sessions

While I was down there I had the pleasure of photographing my photography friend Susan Fowler and her adorable family! She took family photos for us a couple years ago and I took some maternity photos for her.

I have more photos from my recent photography sessions over on my Facebook Page.

Plus, he researched for hours how to do ceramic coating so now the paint is protected and it should be easier to keep clean. The photo does not do it justice. It’s super slick and shiny.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
