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.
This Summer was different for everyone, but especially different for me being pregnant and preparing for our second child. Not only am I navigating this pandemic, but also trying to stay present and cherish my last Summer with Lillian as an only child. Usually I am the one behind the camera snapping and recording her
Lauri Baker Organic Imagery In-home Maternity Session A few weeks back, when I was 26 weeks, a local photographer, Lauri Baker, came over to do a private, in-home maternity session. I wasn’t really sure what to expect when she arrived, wearing a mask, while toting her backdrops and equipment. She set everything up in our
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
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
3-tiered light blue pinstripe dress Ruffle sleeved navy and white gingham dress Bump Style with NOM Maternity At just 12 weeks I’m already showing and bumping out a lot sooner than with my first pregnancy. I’ve already grown out of almost all of my pants, even the bigger ones I bought for postpartum. So with
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
And just like that we have a 3 year old! Lillian Caroline made me a Mama and Greg a Daddy 3 years ago and changed our worlds. She is the brightest star in the whole Universe and the most special human I’ve ever encountered. I don’t have words for how obsessed I am with this
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
Plastic Free Living As Plastic Free July came to a close, I can honestly say that I have made some significant lifestyle changes over the past few weeks. This was my first time participating in the July challenge and I now have a whole new awareness for the amount of plastic we were using here
Mommy and Me Swimsuits One of the most exciting things about having a baby girl was the opportunity to match with her and dress alike. Well that day and age has finally arrived! We did wear our matching dresses on Mother’s Day and it was precious. And now that Summer has finally arrived for us
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
