Photoshoot

July 20, 2010
I have four sisters, I know all about photoshoots.  Everytime we are all together, which sadly isn't as often anymore, we spend a couple hours getting ready.  I usually do everyone's hair, Krissy helps with the eyebrows and makeup and we all swap clothes for the big photoshoot.  My mom takes the pictures in every pose and setting possible and then we spend the next hour huddled around Andi's computer editing.  Ah, it is delightful.  It is a main event that we all look forward to.  
You can imagine how excited I was when Brandon, Chris's brother, asked if he could take pictures of Greta.  "Ahh!! Of course!"  The getting ready process wasn't quite as extravagant.  I have to wait 5 minutes before any event to put Greta in her outfit or she'll spit up all over it. (Yes, she still spits up constantly.)   I put a little bow in her hair and she was ready to go.  The girl is a natural.  Brandon brought over some professional lighting and got all set up.  Greta spit up on the backdrop that he brought, so we just stuck with the surroundings in place.  She sat up on her own so well and smiled for the camera.  Brandon got a lot of cute shots of her, but these are just a couple of my favorite.  Thanks, Brandon!  Here's to many more photoshoots.

My Easter Basket Gift Guide {2025}

Easter is so late this year (April 20!?) that I feel more prepared than usual. I'm already grabbing some cute pajamas, little trinkets, and candies for my girls' Easter baskets.

Blistered Sugar Snap Peas with Honey | 5-Minute Side Dish

Peas are a polarizing vegetable...and it's hard to get past that when you've had a bad experience with them in the past. Julia's family grew up with only ever having canned peas with butter, so anything with the word "pea" faces an uphill battle. But sugar snap peas are one pea that I'm working on […]

Finding My Perfect White Tee: An A-Z Product Test for a Wardrobe Staple

As I'm figuring out my personal style, one thing that I know for certain is I like a casual tee. Tucked into jeans with a belt or untucked rocking slouchy cool-girl vibes, a white t-shirt elevates every outfit. Proving that basic doesn't have to mean boring! Except—finding the perfect tee? Well that's another story. Why […]
