Happy Holidays from the Henesy Family in our matching pajamas! I really wanted to do the matching family pajamas pics last year, but I went with a dressed up, modern studio session for our first official Henesy family holiday card. So I already knew this year what the plan was! Yep, we did the fam
Mom’s Night Off I have been a mom for nearly two years now, and in that time I’ve learned that Stay at home mom life requires regular Staycations. When you live where you work and work where you live and your job is 24/7, self care means a Mom’s night off and change of scenery.
Goldfish Swimming Lessons This past summer, after noticing that our little Lillian really loved the water and playing at the swimming pool, we knew we wanted to get her into some swimming lessons. Living up here in the Midwest means pools are only open about 4 months out of the year… Then I found Goldfish
Recently, I realized that we had not taken any family photos since our Holiday pics last year with Kat of Double You Photography. It’s always him taking pics of me and Lily, or me taking pics of him and Lily. And with the Wisconsin weather changing over, I wanted to get some Fall feels in our
A couple weeks ago we did a Lauren and Lillian “mommy and me” session in a sunflower field and apple orchard with Kat of Double You Photography while we waited for daddy to meet us for family pics.

This afternoon with Lillian was not the first, and I’m sure won’t be the last time that I’m the only mom at the park wearing a dress. Maybe I’m crazy for getting dressed up in mom life. Maybe I’m just a fashion fanatic. Maybe looking good just makes me feel good and love living in
DIY Blackberry Dye Last summer I started experimenting with all natural and organic dyes that come from Mother Nature. Baby onesies are perfect garments to dye and experiment with! Baby will only wear for a few months, will mostly like be stained by other foods, and why not add colors into baby’s basic white onesie
Photos by Double You Photography Sink Bath of Lilies When one of your favorite photographers says she has an idea for a photo shoot with your baby, you oblige. I have seen sink bath pics on Instagram and Pinterest but never gave it much thought. Luckily, Kejt of Double You Photography was on it
Lillian’s Colorful 1st Birthday Party! As the holidays died down, I got on top of my party planning to celebrate Lily’s first trip around the sun. Knowing I would have too many guests for my Mid-century home, I quickly set out to find a venue that didn’t break the bank for a 1st birthday
My baby girl is the birthday girl today as she turns one year old!!! I had streamers and balloons floating around the house and I wanted to do a special shoot for my little Valentine. So I just taped the streamers to the wall, grabbed one of her chairs, and tossed the balloons into
As Lillian quickly approaches one year old, I can’t help but reflect back on when I was expecting. Now that we’re through the first 12 months, I finally feel comfortable sharing my pregnancy story…. Baby Brain I wasn’t much of a babysitter when I was young, and was no where near having babies on
