Aaron + The Little People

Thanks so much to Aaron's mommy for reaching out to me to help with the first birthday invitations, wall banner, cake banner and favor tags.  I absolutely love the Little People theme and had a great time designing a character that looked just like cutie Aaron!

Can't wait to hear about the party, hope it was amazing!

Summer Family Photos

It's always fun to coordinate a family photo-shoot, but challenging at the same time....especially when it is your family.  One of the things I wanted to do prior to going back to work was take some family photos of everyone.  Instead of hiring a photographer Scott and I figured that we could ask my mom to take the shots if we worked the camera settings.

My mom did a great job, and we did get a few great photos that I will always cherish:-)

Kyleigh's last month as a 2 year old!

The last three items on my to-do list over maternity leave were completed with just days to spare....

1.  3rd Zoo visit of the summer
2.  Photos of Kyleigh
3.  Family Photoshoot

Now with a lovely commute again, I was able to organize and edit the photos over the past 2 weeks! 

Such a special time for our entire family...just a month prior to her 3rd birthday she has grown up so much and surprised us in so many ways.  Kyleigh is an amazing big sister that can't wait until her brothers can run around and play with her...but for the time being she loves to play the mommy role with me, one baby for me and one for her:-)

Scarlett turns 2!

Sending a very happy birthday wish to Scarlett, I hope you had an amazing time at your Minnie Mouse Party this past weekend!  I had so much fun creating the invitations, favor tags and banner for you: and I hope you enjoyed them as well!

Christian and Caleb Announcement

Yeah, the boys announcements are out!  ....well they have been out for a bit, but I'm just getting around to posting the picture of the final piece and photoshoot.  

Oh course I had a vision in my mind, I wanted something similar to Kyleigh's announcement (both layout and style), but for boys.  I loved the idea of incorporating the blue and gray elephants that Kyleigh had on her big sister shirt and the boys on their going home outfits from the hospital.  At 2.5 weeks old, we dressed the three of them up for the first sibling photoshoot of many to come!

We selected the photo both boys sleeping for the layered front cover, illustrated the elephants to match Kyleigh's Big Sister Shirt on the inside panel....two cute close-ups of the boys for the announcement stats and the 3 kiddos together on the back panel:

Kyleigh's Announcement:

Scott and I are very pleased with how the photos turned out as we only spent 30 minutes taking them!  We were definitely on the clock with all of the kids, but they did great and Kyleigh was so sweet with her brothers!

Such a big helper, I wanted to try the "It's a boy" hats, but Christian and Caleb were not having it....Kyleigh though maybe with her skills they would change their mind.....

Caleb needed a quick break while Christian napped and Kyleigh hopped on the iPad.

Kyleigh is fascinated with the boys.....here she is with Christian.

And now giving Caleb love holding him....

This picture cracks us up....they are completely over it!  Photoshoot complete!  

Photoshoot of the boys at 2 weeks, announcements went out at 9 weeks....not too bad.  Good thing I have so many helpers!
