Now, more than ever, I am acutely aware of the many luxuries I once took for granted, including having a professional take photographs for my blog or to help document life’s milestones.

Newborn Lifestyle Shoot
It’s incredible how tiny newborns are and how quickly they grow (sigh).

Hospital Bag Essentials: You’re Having a Baby, Now What Do You Pack?
If you’re pregnant, someone has likely asked: “Did you pack your hospital bag yet?” I remember feeling a bit intimidated the first time someone asked me.

MY Maternity Style
Our babymoon to Lisbon would not have been complete without a maternity shoot at Praça do Comércio.

Vacation Style: The Maternity Edition
One of my favorite parts of going on vacation is putting together my looks, but being pregnant for our anniversary trip this summer made things a tiny bit challenging. Luckily, finding flattering clothing and putting together outfits has always been easy for me. But being pregnant and suddenly feeling like my body was somehow foreign…
Garden Gorgeous: Styling the Mommy-to-Be
After spending months planning the fine details of SDP’s “OH BOY” Baby Shower, we were confident that the event would turn out fabulously. But, one critical piece remained – SDP’s look for the shower! SDP wanted to find something that would compliment the rooftop garden venue and had a few ideas in mind – (1) bohemian mommy-to-be (i.e….
