Despite this month’s photoshoot happening indoors because of the cold, it turned out SO CUTE AND BEAUTIFUL, AHHH. Sophia is such a photogenic little girl. All my photographer mom dreams are coming true, hehe.
I love looking back on these photoshoots and seeing just how fast our baby is growing up. Hopefully you enjoy them too! Read on for a bunch of day-brightening pictures of our sweet chub friend.

One of my favorite snow day traditions growing up was making snow cream. My siblings and I would carefully dip a bowl into the freshly fallen drifts and then run inside to mix up a batch before it melted.
If you’ve never made snow cream, you have to try it the next time it snows! Kids especially love the experience and the taste.
This year I modified our recipe to use maple syrup instead of white sugar and now I don’t think I’ll ever make it any other way. It really adds a special touch to this simple treat. Read on for the recipe and tips.
After multiple nearly snowless winters, we finally got a good snowstorm the other day! It was quickly followed by rain, so the snow didn’t stay pretty for long, but the ice that followed was beautiful in its own way too. I had a lot of fun tramping around in my snow boots to get some sparkly pictures for you guys.
Enjoy a collection of scenes from this fleeting winter beauty!

2025 was for sure one of the most memorable, joyful, difficult, important years of my life. 🙂 This was a year of extremes for me – incredible amounts of excitement and love and happiness, as well as lots of pain, frustration, and difficulty. The things I lived through this year will impact my life forever and were something God used to grow me for sure.
As always, I wanted the last post of 2024 to be a yearly wrap-up post. I’ll do this one in last year’s style with a mini summary of each month along with my favorite post. Enjoy!
Merry early Christmas to you all! We didn’t send Christmas cards this year (because I didn’t want to pay for stamps, heh), but I still wanted to take some family photos to serve as a digital card. So enjoy this cute small photoshoot!
It’s time for my annual Christmas decorating post! I didn’t go quite as all-out this year since I have a new baby and a ton of Etsy work taking up my time. But I still managed to put together some festive-looking decor that I’m excited to show you guys today. Enjoy!
As an early Thanksgiving gift, you get another Sophia post! 😀 We’ve been super busy recently between me getting strep throat, preparing for our first trip with a baby (a vacation with Sully’s family this week), and lots of Etsy orders + window washing jobs for peak season. I really wanted to get some pictures of Sophia before we left for the trip though, and managed to squeeze them in yesterday.
Guys these photoshoots keep getting cuter and cuter! Enjoy this absolutely delightful baby. 🙂
Our friends host a huge fall party every year with fun family games, yummy treats, and plenty of opportunities for memory-making. I always take pictures, though this year I didn’t cover it quite as thoroughly since I was also taking care of my baby. 🙂 Sophia did well with the noise and being passed around to lots people, although her naps were rather lacking.
I took TONS of pictures of course, but I’m leaving out most of the portraits of people I don’t know just in case they don’t want to be on my blog. 😉 Enjoy these shots of chickens and sunsets + cute little kids!
Our baby girl is two months old! Sully helped me with a photoshoot to commemorate the occasion and YOU GUYS. The pictures turned out ADORABLE. I can’t wait to share these precious photos with you! Enjoy a day-brightening squishy baby. 🙂
