Summer keeps marching on. My boy is at Spanish camp this week, so I’m kind of exhilarated by the absolute quiet in the house. This DFW newborn photographer even treated herself to a hamburger, fries and Coke for lunch as a mini celebration. The ridiculous thing is that I went to the gym first, and now I’ve totally undone all my hard work (and more) with that indulgence.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, so I’m looking forward to picking up my little guy this afternoon and hearing all about his adventures today.
These photos all express the beautifully simplicity of our every day lives. I am so blessed to have these moments, and hope to never take them for granted. I was so deeply saddened by the events in Dallas last week, as well as those in Baton Rouge (my husband’s home) and throughout the country. I have so many thoughts, as we all do, but this forum really isn’t the place for me to share them. All I will say is that I am so, so sad by the divisions in the country and I pray that love will right the wrongs sooner rather than later.
DFW Newborn Photographer | Project 365 | Week 28

188/366: Aunt Coco and newly minted Uncle Chad returned from their honeymoon in Mexico and brought some maracas home for Holden. I will remember this for when they have kids. I have a whole attic full of extremely noisy toys I am more than happy to pass down.

189/366: A little summer treat—made some homemade frozen yogurt. Super easy recipe, just called for Greek yogurt, frozen berries and a food processor. I think Holden is more into actual ice cream, but I was really impressed with this culinary accomplishment. PS- Has anyone tried that Halo ice cream? I keep hearing about it, but I think only Kroger stocks it and I don’t usually go to Kroger. Would love to hear if it’s worth making a special trip. Always looking for dessert alternatives that are low in sugar, because I have a major sweet tooth and kind of refuse to end my evening without some kind of tasty treat to end the day.

190/366: Always swimming. I warned y’all back in the winter that this would happen. Out by the pool pretty much every day.

191/366: A random storm came through in the afternoon. It was a pop up super cell and the wind knocked out our power for a good 4 hours. This is right after the power went down, when we were blissfully unaware of just how long the power was going to be out for and were still intrigued with a little ipad chill time and looking out the windows at the raindrops.

192/366: Right foot, left foot.

193/366: My enthusiastic mail checker.

Cool idea. I’ve been searching for a newborn and baby photographer in DFW and I think you’re going to be a great fit. I love all your portfolio, and it’s fun to see your daily life behind the scenes too.
