Maternity with the Family …and flower crowns, of course! This was it. This was the Pinterest inspired maternity shoot I’d been dreaming about ever since my very first positive pregnancy test. Almost 5 years ago. My first due date was in July so I knew it would be warm and I could take pictures outside.

Mom Life | Mother-Daughter Lifestyle Session
This Summer was different for everyone, but especially different for me being pregnant and preparing for our second child.

Mommy & Me | Matching for Mother’s Day
Mommy & Me | Mother’s Day 2020 Matching with my mini me will never get old… to me, at least. Maybe to her! But I found us both these sweet navy and white gingham sundresses weeks, if not months ago. I knew that I wanted to wear them for Mother’s Day pics with Lillian. That

Baby No 2 | Gender Reveal
IT’S A BOY!!!! That’s right! Baby Henesy is a boy. We were blessed with a daughter and now we’ll have a son to complete our family. I would’ve been ecstatic either way (I mean two little girls would’ve been adorable), but I’m feeling lucky to have one of each and to give my husband a

Spring Style | Floral Dress at the Domes
Nothing says Spring like a flowy floral dress. Okay, maybe tulips and budding leaves and birds chirping…. But until then, we’ll prep for Spring style and visit the Domes, Milwaukee’s giant Horticulture conservatory. Lillian also loves visiting the domes and she goes almost everywhere with me. I also wanted to take this opportunity to get

Mom Style | Pink Stripes by PinkBlush
Exploring the Milwaukee Domes with my little photographer Is it Springtime yet?? No, not yet. Several more weeks. And I have to say I’ve been getting some cabin fever over here, in stay at home mom life at the Henesy house. Lillian and I really needed to get out and see some plant life and

Lauren, Lily & Lilacs
Lilacs are possibly my favorite flower. Only tied for first place with the peony. They’re both so gorgeous and so fragrant! But one of them is so fleeting. Lilacs are only in bloom for a few weeks of the year, making them just that much more special to me. So when I saw them in
