sadie + emma

These little ladies are my nieces and I totally think they're the cutest in all the world! Sadie turns two today and I'm so happy she's in my life! Sadie has enough energy to power the southern hemisphere all on her own! Notice the bruises on her legs and the cuts on her face? They're the sign of a lot of falls in the middle of many smiles. And baby Emma is nearly four months old! She is all smiles, as in, 24/7! I always glance over at her and she's already smiling from ear-to-ear!

Love my precious nieces to bits and pieces! Happy Birthday Sadie! Know I love you like crazy town!

elliot | first photo shoot

I can't believe the time is finally here ... the time when I get to post photos of my own flesh and blood! This is my darling son, Elliot Olson. In these photos he's only five days old, so he's teeny tiny! Well, a "tiny" 8lb 3oz baby, but still. This was his very first photo shoot with me, his momma. Personally, I think he killed it!

This child makes me happier than I knew or could understand was possible. Motherhood is truly the best and I feel lucky everyday that I get to do this!
