Missouri Summer Trip

July 3, 2023 by Jensey Leave a Comment

It certainly feels like a million years ago, but *two* years ago, we took Hobbes to my dad’s farm in Missouri for an old-fashioned 4th of July family weekend. <3

Honestly, I only get to see my siblings in the same place once in a blue moon, so it was extra special to have all the cousins together!

He was so bitty :)

Hobbes’s first s’more!

My sister was there with my nephew in her belly!

Favorite photo ever? We maaaaay have a massive canvas of this in our playroom <3

I bought my niece her first American Girl doll, and Kinley wanted to do a photo shoot <3

Genuinely hope to make this happen again next summer, this time with my sister’s *two* new littles!!

And to think we almost didn’t make time for the county fair this year. <3

Ollie at the fair in one frame- running to rides and turning around to get us to follow <3

It’s ok to be 4.

And sometimes it’s ok to fix feelings with funnel cake. <3

Easter bits I don’t want to forget!!

Katarina : USF Graduation Photos

April 29, 2022 by Jensey Leave a Comment

This May, T H R E E of my sisters-in-law are graduating from different colleges! Wedding season means we won’t be able to make any of their ceremonies, but lucky for us, we’re able to take portraits for 2/3rds of them! <3

First up is Katarina. I have felt a bond with this sister since the first time I met her- my favorite memory being watching all the kids in the pool and seeing Kat by herself in the shade “playing office” with a stack of recycled papers from her Dad. She was sorting them and writing on them and I thought, ohhhh, this was me as a child!!

Between her inability to walk down the street without stumbling, her soft spoken nature, constant giggles, and the “I’m sorry”s that fly out of her mouth faster than you can count, Kat is more like me than my own biological sister!

Katarina we love you immensely and are so, so proud- we can’t wait to see what you do next!!
