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!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the Henesy Family So excited to finally share our family holiday studio session! All of our friends and family have received their Christmas cards and with just 2 weeks to go, everyone is officially in the holiday spirit! I have to confess, at 36 years young, I’ve actually never
My sweet little baby girl turned 9 months old today. Feels like a milestone… 9 months in and 9 months out. 18 months of motherhood. Holy cow! What was life even before Lillian? I’ve been doing her monthly pics on this blanket since she was born. I’m bound and determined to make it all the
