Dear Baby Girl, almost another year has come and gone and here we are taking pictures of you in my wedding dress again. I know you don’t really love it and I don’t love that you don’t love it..and I’m debating if this is one of those things like piano lessons that I just make […]

Dear Baby Girl, year seven of taking pictures of you in my wedding dress. Seven! I never know what I’m going to write to you, but as I look through your images and think about our experience, it usually comes to me. This year, you helped me take senior pictures of your brother, and after […]

Dear Baby Girl, what started out as an idea has now become a tradition six years in the making. I’m so grateful that you still let me take pictures of you in my wedding dress, even though I know it’s not your favorite thing because you hate the big clips that hold the dress tight […]

Dear Baby Girl, I’m pretty sure I could just write, “It’s 2020” and that would be all I need in this letter, but you deserve more. This year wasn’t the year I expected (or anyone expected for that matter), it brought so many uncertainties, but it also brought so many joys. One of the biggest […]

Dear Baby Girl, I can’t believe another year has gone by that I’ve photographed you in my wedding dress.  Some days seemed long, never ending, and other days seemed to fly by and I’m afraid that my memory will cease to remember the simple details of our days together. You know…the mundane parts of our […]

You guys!!!! This post has been a long time coming, I mean really, A LONG time. My new kitchen has been functional and pretty much done for over a year, I say pretty much done because it’s still not decorated the way I want it (think stools, rugs, books, amazing things the kids won’t ruin….) […]

Dear Baby Girl, Three years ago I had the brilliant idea to take your picture in my wedding dress every year until you were eighteen (or at least until you wouldn’t let me). You can click here to see the first year, and here to see the second year. Well, I had grand plans this […]

Dear Baby Girl, Last year I took your pictures in my wedding dress and said I wanted to do it every year…well, I finally got around to it (a bit late, ok, almost seven months late, but it’s still 2017, so that technically counts as a year). Looking back on my last letter (which you […]

Dear Baby Girl, today I photographed you in my wedding dress.  You looked so sweet and innocent.  I’d like to take your picture in my wedding dress every year….as long as you let me…and as long as I remember.  Your face in a few of these images reminded me of how I was when I […]

 My daughter had a pretty “sweet” Halloween costume last year as a Starbucks Latte, so I thought it was going to be hard to beat….until I decided that she would be pretty stinkin cute as the Queen of Hearts. All I had to do was show my oh so talented mom a picture of a […]
