World Prematurity Day
World Prematurity Day is on November 17, but it has really sparked vivid memories for us. It’s the one day of the year I never thought I’d celebrate. But being the parent of a tiny miracle, it’s a privilege that we’re able to celebrate this day. I never wanted to miss out on my third trimester of pregnancy with Julia, but that was the hand of cards we were dealt. My water breaking at 27 weeks 4 days, then ultimately going through the scariest morning of my life (second to my water breaking), Julia was delivered by emergency C section.

Welcoming Audrey: Maternity Photo Session

I wanted to schedule the photos early enough so that I was able to take them incase I was admitted for any reason, and also to use some of them as announcement photos.

We chatted for awhile, and we decided to shoot at Yale University. Yale…

Five Years Married
Five years married, that went by in the blink of an eye! But I guess the saying is true, time flies when you’re having fun. Looking back on our wedding photos really just gives me all the feels. We were old school, but pretty young in my opinion when we got married. We didn’t move in together until we got married, which in a way gave me something to look forward to. Dave & I got married the day after our 10-year dating anniversary. I like to use my joke of “10 years to life” but in this case it’s holding true! Being with Dave has just felt so natural,…
