October {a personal post}

Where did October go?!  I have been a little M.I.A. this month…with good reason.

We have been doing a lot of baby gazing...

enjoying fall activities….

and celebrating our favorite 3 year old!

October 1st we welcomed our daughter, Frances Olivia, into the world.  She is a wonderful gift from God and the perfect addition to our family!

Looking forward to all my fall family sessions!

Davis {@ 8 days}

My nephew!! This is my oldest sister's little lamb, Davis.  I am blessed to be his aunt and excited to watch him grow.  He was very agreeable with having his picture taken :)

My Sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.  I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.  John 10

Jane Avery {@ 12 days}

Where do I start?!  I LOVE this family.  I am not alone when I say they are some of my favorite people…ever. This summer, while 8 months pregnant, they moved back to their home town in north MO.  Sigh.  It was sad.  

So we made a girls weekend of it and road tripped to Chillicothe, MO (home of sliced bread)!!   It was so lovely to meet baby Jane, experience Chillicothe for myself, and to see where these dear friends have settled.  This wan't your typical newborn session- we would do some pictures, drink some coffee, talk, take some more pictures and repeat.

Allison is awesome at loving her friends and she incorporated them into her nursery, of course.  Her bedding was custom made by Lora Karraker and her sheet was monogramed by Sarah Corbin.  

The girls...
