it's wild to think that some of the maternity pieces i ordered when i was first expecting (and barely showing) are finally starting to fit. after seeing this dress on kathleen barnes last fall, i ordered it for myself with the intention of sporting it once my bump was big enough to showcase. at nearly ...

when it came to booking a little getaway in honor of our last few months as a family of two, there was no questions where we'd be heading -our favorite place in the world, la quinta resort! as you know, we were just there over the thanksgiving holiday and had a wonderful time (we shot ...
after a very chilly winter, we got the first signs of spring yesterday. at nearly 80-degrees at our house, it was the perfect opportunity to test out if my sleeveless LBD could accommodate my growing bump. thankfully the swing silhouette was very kind to my curvier shape and with a couple of straw accessories, i ...
