Happy Mother’s Day

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles does a cute mommy and me photoshoot with her baby boy wearing a floral maxi dress and a little boy chambray shirt

Happy Thursday loves! I cannot believe it is almost the weekend already and Mother’s Day! Last year I took Mother’s Day pictures with Sawyer in a local flower field so I decided to make it an annual thing and snap some there again this year. Can we talk about how tiny Sawyer was last year?! Omg it is so crazy how fast they grow in just a year! It makes me want to cry! He was a little harder to take pictures with this year too haha! We had to snap these quick because all he wanted to do was run around and play with the flowers haha! I am so glad this sweet boy made me a mama! It is the most exhausted and hard job ever but so dang rewarded and that little smile makes it all worth it! Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas out there! <3

Happy Monday babes! I hope you all had an amazing weekend or the best you could have had with all the craziness going on right now! COVID-19 has definitely put a damper on things but I am kind of glad every one is being overly cautious to stop the spread, especially for our elderly population. Everyone stay safe! On a better note! How gorgeous is this blue boho maxi?! It is definitely feeling like spring here and I couldn’t wait to bring out some of my new spring dresses! I am such a sucker for a good wrap dress! I paired it with my new Sofft Shoes wedges that are so dang comfy! I think a good pair of classic wedges are must have for spring! They are so versatile and look so cute with dress, jeans, or shorts! I finished the look off with a straw hat. I hope you all have a fabulous start to your week! <3

Happy Thursday and Friday Eve loves! Super excited to have my little guy join me today on the blog for my first Mother’s Day post! Ya’ll after becoming a mother myself I have a new found respect for mamas! Motherhood is soooo hard and I have only been a mom for three months! Although it is the most amazing and rewarding thing I have ever done! The love I have for this little chubby faced babe is insane and I am so excited to watch him grow and make the most amazing memories with him! This dress is actually the same dress I wore for my pregnancy announcement and I figured it would be fun to wear it again for this shoot with my little guy now that he is here! Also it gave me an excuse to wear it again because it is one of my favorite dresses ever! Seriously so gorgeous! So to all the mamas out there, Happy Mother’s Day! I hope your weekend is extra special because you deserve it! <3

Happy Thursday babes! Only one more day until the weekend and last week (hopefully) of my pregnancy! So I told you all I would share more from my beach maternity shoot, so here it is! I knew I wanted to do a more intimate shoot with just Griffin and I once I got farther along on the beach so a week after Christmas Griffin and I woke up super early to catch the sunrise. Although, nature had other plans and it was the foggiest morning ever! I was a little upset at first but we just ran with the more moodier look of the photos. I love this shoot since it shows you all more of our creative photographer side that we love. The few shots Griffin are in we actually took with the camera propped up on a box because we forgot our tripod haha! I hope you all love this shoot as much as I do! Ps I am trying to blog up until baby comes so if you see a silence you know he must have made his arrival haha! I will keep my Instagram updated though! I hope you all have a fabulous weekend and t-minus one week, 2 days until my due date! <3

Happy Hump Day babes! I hope you all are having a fabulous week so far! One thing I have been pretty much living in during my pregnancy is definitely maxi dresses and I love this long sleeve one making it perfect for the cooler weather we’ve been having.

Then I added some simple accessories with a layered choker and sunglasses. I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday! <3

Happy Monday babes! I hope you all had an amazing weekend! Our’s was super busy filled with birthday get togethers and a baby shower, but it was lots of fun! I have a busy week ahead this week as well but looking forward to the long weekend! I have a doctor’s appointment today which I always get excited about since I get to hear the baby’s heart beat! Today I am styling the cutest maxi dress from You + Pio. It is the perfect vacation dress and I love the embroidery and the cute tie sleeve! I am excited to be collaborating with them because not only do they have soooo much cute stuff they are also donating 5% of their sales to an amazing organization called Heart of Ida and their Ida’s walkers program. The program offers dog walking to the elderly that is either in the hospital or has limited mobility. Being that I have worked with the elderly for many years and a huge dog lover this organization definitely pulls my heart strings and they also gave me a discount code to my readers for 20% off, Shannon20! So you can shop, save, and donate to a great cause all at once! What is better?! To finish off this summer maxi look, I paired it with some lace up sandals, fringe bag, and a hat. I hope you all have a great start to your week! <3
