Maternity Family Photos, Baby Number Two:

Maternity Family Photos, Baby Number Two:

I have been meaning to share these for a few weeks now, its amazing how my last minute to do list before this little angel arrives just keeps building and building.  My sister (Kelsey Steindler Photography) is an incredible professional photographer and I am truly so blessed by her graciousness! She is so giving of her time away from her family to shoot these sweet memories for us, and i will truly cherish these forever.  I also wanted to say a HUGE thank you to The Bloomin Gypsy for her incredible talent & creating this perfect flower crown for our maternity session. It could not have been more perfect. I wanted to feel feminine and represent all things girly since we are welcoming our first little lady into the home. I am just so grateful for the place the Lord has brought us to in this new season. Truly, we are so happy and at peace right now, its the perfect time to welcome this special little girl into our home.  

This post is dedicated to our babies, Cash and little miss that will be here in less than 3 weeks.  We love you with every part of our being and thank God for you every day. You both have touched our hearts and lives in ways we could never explain. You are our angels, you encourage us in our walk with the Lord daily and have brought so much joy to our home.  Daddy and I are closer today than ever before and more in love each day as we raise you little ones together as a team.  We are so ready to meet you sweet girl, and although it will be a big adjustment for us all, I know your brother is going to be so sweet and gentle with you because thats who he is and we cant wait for him to meet you. I am already melting inside thinking about your father becoming a daddy to a little princess, i am counting down the days until we see your sweet angelic face & bring you home with us. Carrying you in my womb has been magical, i will miss you always being with me and am forever grateful for this gift.

I love these photos so much that Kelsey Steindler photography took this August a month after Cash's first birthday. We decided we would make these our Christmas photos because they encompass so much of what our family is and means to us, love and joy! I wouldn't want my life any other way, these two boys complete me and our sweet little one on the way will bring us even more joy.  

Fabulous Nuts & Bolts Designs custom made our Christmas cards this year (check out last years card here), and they even offer the option to print, which for me is a must! Who wants to have to go print their own cards when we have a million other things to do this season. Anywho, I wanted something classic, elegant, and simple and Nuts & Bolts Designs did just that! She listened to my every want and even changed some things around when I asked. I love that its our card just for our little family, and you can have her create one just for yours to be a reflection of you this year.  

Nuts & Bolts Designs sells custom invites, cards, stationery, and even baby books! The creator loves paper and stationery so shes spends a lot of time finding quality paper and loves to see her designs come to life when they move from the computer screen to printed form.  She says "I know there are people who still love snail mail as much as myself, and thats who i love designing for!"  Im right there with you girlfriend!

Nuts & Bolts Designs is offering 10% off all items in her shop (valid through 12.31.14 so order now!!!)  You don't have to order Christmas cards, this is good for anything in her shop!! Order thank you cards now, or even holiday party invites.

Summer Family Photos: Cash Is One

 Summer Family Photos: Cash is One

Hey loves, I hope you are having a lovely weekend so far. We have been relaxing and soaking up this great chilly Fall weather! I wanted to finally share these summer family photos my sister Kesley Steindler Photography snapped of us to capture Cash right after he had turned one.  If we could take family photos every few months I totally would because its so worth it when these little babies grow like weeds! They change so much month to month and to be able to remember these moments and milestones in photos means so much to us as a family.  I hope you enjoy and be sure to check out my sisters work if you're local in the Orange County area and looking for someone to snap some photos of you and your fam!
