Instagram Archives Pt V — Waiting on Sully

My girl 💛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As we prep for our new addition, I’ve been looking back a lot on this girl’s little life. It is crazy how fast she’s changing and growing up!! She certainly isn’t a baby anymore!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the things I keep going back to, to reflect through, is these posts!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, since it’s been a while since I’ve posted a, “Things I don’t want to forget,” post, you might want to buckle up 😉😂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Her latest obsessions: wearing anything and everything as a bracelet (seriously, we looked over at dinner the other night to see her donning an onion on her wrist 😂😂), saying “noooooooooooo!” approximately 736373 times a day, watching & signing along to “Go!” (AKA Frozen), copying everything, and making people laugh!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ #ReeseAdalineSwann is picking up at least a few words a day and it’s crazy how fast she’s learning! However, at least 60 times a day she speaks a crazy long sentence or five of toddler-ese that has us cracking up. People keep telling me that they can’t wait to know what she’s saying… I can. I can wait 😂🙈 it is going to be fulllllll of sass!!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Her latest favorite activities include sledding, flipping through the pages of books, riding in the train car her Gramps made, and coloring. Oh, and she reallllly liked presents this Christmas! She kept saying “Oooooh!” as she opened each one!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ She is absolutely a sour patch kid. In the same minute she is running over to give you a kiss, she’s also saying “byeeee!”, get out of here 😂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This girl keeps me on my toes but I couldn’t be more thankful for my littlest bestie! 💛

 

 


 

Somehow we blinked (and waited, and played, and colored, and “un-ed,” and laughed) and our girl turned two.

1️⃣ How it’s going: A very happy 2yr old with a balloon bigger than her whole body. Bed head, a crop top, and all!

2️⃣ How it started: The very same 2yr old waking up on her 1st birthday. Safe to say she is now humungous. (I’m not sure my 7.5 month pregnant self can even handle the difference between the newborn picture, so I didn’t even bother!)

3️⃣ A portrait of a toddler if I’ve ever seen one.

4️⃣ So proud in her brand new jeep. Safe to say that Dada has the best birthday present ideas!!

5️⃣If there was every any doubt that she’s mine, this photo confirms it without question. Licking the beater is the best part of baking!

6️⃣ “Sharing” a ride with cousin Rhett. I have a feeling there will be a few more photos than just this one in their future!

7️⃣ Blowing out her candles with some help from Dada.

8️⃣ The best you get of our fam of 3(.75!) at the end of a very full day.

It was pure delight, just like you little girl 💛✨

 

 


 

Happy International Women’s Day!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thankful for all the strong women in my life… may we be them and may we raise them ✨💛
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I think I’ll have my hands full raising this sweet little spitfire, but I wouldn’t have it any other way!

(⬆️ Morgan’s latest thing he says whenever she’s a little *extra* sassy is “she got it from her mama 🎶” and let’s just say he’s not wrong! 🤷🏼‍♀️💪🏼)

Scenes from Easter, featuring a toddler who is a little too busy for the camera, and a mama who is a little too tired to try 😉😂

Grateful to have gotten to celebrate yesterday, especially as our last major holiday as a family of three! ✨🌸

 

 


 

Soaking in the last little bit of time as a family of three 💛✨

Wife, mama, wielder of light & joy, and capturer of moments.  I thrive off of conversation and genuine connection.  In between wrangling our kiddos, and hanging my husband, you'll find me dreaming up my next idea or creative endeavour.  It's these things that culminate to give my imagery a warmth and joy to them - the greatest compliment I could receive.

I'M LAUREN

THE JOURNAL

Lauren grew up spending her summers at the shore, and when she and Nick got together, she couldn't help but introduce him, too!  Their session in New Jersey was filled with gorgeous light, sweet smiles, and so much love & laughter.

Jersey Shore Engagement 

Connor and Alli's wedding celebration was full of lush florals, gorgeous details, and a whole lot of joy.  Their first look was one of the most sacred moments I've witness on a wedding day... filled with so much delight and love!

Stone Tower Winery Wedding

One of my greatest inspirations comes from exploring and the California coast fulfills that wanderlust like nothing else.  Anytime I have rolling hills and oceanside views, I'm in heaven.

"Lauren made everything fun and flexible."

Nate & sofi, baltimore Maryland

She's the ultimate hypewoman. I was pretty nervous about being photographed and Lauren made everything fun and flexible. Honestly, I can't imagine the day without her and her team. They were wonderful and hearing from Lauren was always a genuine delight.
