Two Steps Ahead

Yesterday morning I shared some of our Halloween decorations, along with some inspiration for future decorations. While we're preparing for Halloween around these parts, my mind is already on another upcoming holiday... Christmas. Yes my friends, I am a Christmas-aholic and I'm not afraid to admit it. Though I try to hold back on decorating until after American Thanksgiving for the sake of B, I've already started to think Christmas cards.


We had some family photos taken this past weekend by John Brunke - who has shot many family weddings (including my brother's last weekend). I plan to use these photos to create some family photo cards to send out this year. While I work away on those - I just wanted to give you a sneak peak of some of the beautiful photos that John captured for us...

A big thanks to John for capturing these moments. I know these will be photos that we will cherish for years to come!


I love that they are simple and straight forward. Of course, like everyone, I love photos that "tell a story", but I think these photos tell the only story that they need to. We're a family and we love each other! B and I have decided we'd like to try and get family photos done every fall to see how our family grows and changes. Do you have any family photo traditions?
