    Sweetness

    I couldn’t vlog today; I was too busy cooing over this cute little munchkin! It was my first newborn photography session, and while we weren’t able to get some shots because she was a little grouchy, I’m SO happy with how they turned out! If you want, head over to my photography page and give it a like! Happy Saturday! bloglovin | chictopia | facebook | twitter | pinterest | Instagram | Fiction Press

So I decided I was going to do a glamorous maternity shoot with myself, to remind me why I love being pregnant. But as I was getting ready, searching for an outfit to wear, trying out different hair and makeup, nothing really felt right. Every time I thought about what…

    30 Days of Self Portraits: Motherhood

    A Beautiful Mess has challenged their readers to join them in a 30 day self-portrait challenge, and I’ve decided to join in! Since I take all of my own photos anyway, it will be fun to practice my photography skills (especially since I hope to use them professionally!) But the difference between self-portraits and fashion pictures? I think the self-portraits will be more personal; I’d like to try to put something I love into each of them (something I’m passionate about, or what makes me who I am; books, writing, homemaking, motherhood, marriage… etc) instead of focusing on outfits. Plus, I’ll probably be more experimental with my self-portrait shots than…
