CREATING FROM THE HEART

2024 Family Photos

I have had the wonderful privilege of finding a family photographer that captures the growth of my family beautifully. For more than four years now, Kelsey Krall of Kelsey Krall Photography has worked with us at a variety of local spots. Her style is light and airy which allows our faces to truly be the focal point in each photo.

This Fall session is approximately a year after our last session, so the kids all look quite a bit different! Its been such a joy to work with Kelsey, putting together my family’s outfits and then getting feedback on how that will work with the vision Kelsey has at the location she’s selected as the backdrop.

I got super lucky at a thrift store recently – Evelyn and Eloise’s dresses were found at the same spot! I typically try to start with what I plan to wear and style everyone else around that, but these dresses were just too perfect for the Folsom dry grass Fall “look”. With their pops of mustard yellow and maroon, I decided to go with shades of beige and brown for the rest of us. Then I was looking through Viv’s closet and she had the PERFECT floral dress for the combination of colors.

Here’s what we are wearing:

Brian: L/S shirt, Jeans, Shoes

Kirsten: Dress, Cardigan, Flat Brim Hat, Boots

Viv: Dress, Tights, Boots, Headband

Evelyn: Dress, L/S Shirt, Boots, Headband

Eloise: Dress, L/S Shirt, Shoes, Bow

Imogene: Jumpsuit (I had socks and shoes and a bow for her, but life happens and I forgot to put them on her, mom life, real talk)

Girls’ Closet Transformation

Our nursery closet has been an ever-evolving process. While it is not perfect, the custom build has allowed us the flexibility to organize clothing storage for one baby, then two, and now it holds most of the clothes for three little girls! I took the bones of this build from another mama blogger and customized the space for our needs. This first picture shows what the closet looked like when we first moved in. The third bedroom in our home was used as an office, library and storage area for the first several months. Once

Our master bedroom has shifted with the needs of our family, but as the place where we spend (or should spend!) 1/3 of our life, Brian and I made a few investments in the bedroom that have been well worth it. Brian spent some time in the world of high-end furniture, so he understands the benefits of a
