How we chose a name for our baby girl

by meganupdated on April 24, 2019August 24, 2017 Leave a Comment on How we chose a name for our baby girl

From the time I was 10 years old, I knew what I wanted to name my daughter. I was a huge fan of the American Girl Books and absolutely adored the character of Samantha Parkington. I dreamed of one day having a dark-haired little girl and getting to use my favorite name. After marrying Micah, …

Third time around and I’m finally organized!

by meganupdated on April 24, 2019July 10, 2017 Leave a Comment on Third time around and I’m finally organized!

It’s amazing how different each pregnancy turns out to be. With Caleb we were barely out of newlywed status and as poor as church mice. I was 22 and didn’t have a clear grasp on my personal style or taste in decor, so when it came to decorating the nursery it was a hodge-podge of …

Morning Sickness? You mean All-Day-Sickness

by meganupdated on July 28, 2017May 20, 2017 Leave a Comment on Morning Sickness? You mean All-Day-Sickness

Whoever decided to call it morning sickness really deserves to be slapped. Okay, maybe not slapped, but at least glared at.  All day long, every day. There’s a reason why pregnancy is referred to as the nine month flu.  With Caleb, I didn’t really experience nausea, just the vomiting. I had to eat every two …

2016 was a wonderful year full of fun adventures, visits with family and friends, and exciting milestones for our kiddos. We’re looking forward to a new milestone in 2017 as we welcome a new addition to our family! #3 will be joining us in August and we couldn’t be happier. So from our (growing) family …

Silly Faces and All

by meganupdated on May 6, 2015April 23, 2015 Leave a Comment on Silly Faces and All

For some reason, people think that just because I’m a photographer, my kids are always ready with a smile when I pull out the camera. Except for a brief window from 6 months to 1.3 years, that has not been farther from the truth. Instead of smiles and cries of delight, I hear exasperated sighs (have …

Happy 5th Birthday, Caleb!

by meganupdated on May 6, 2015March 28, 2015 Leave a Comment on Happy 5th Birthday, Caleb!

This kid is my firstborn, my baby. He is the one who always wants to cuddle and snuggle. He’s just as happy helping me bake muffins in the kitchen or going shopping at the grocery store as he is hiking or fishing with daddy. Already, he has a clear idea of how things should and …

Those curls of hers

by meganupdated on May 8, 2015September 8, 2014 Leave a Comment on Those curls of hers

We’ve never cut Samantha’s hair. In fact, I think Micah might have a heart attack if scissors were to ever come close to her head. It’s come as a surprise for one of our kids to actually have hair since Caleb was near-bald for the first two years (and I really was bald until two!) …
