Prepare for photo overload, because last week, I took photos of my sweet friend, Courtney Brown and her ridiculously gorgeous kiddos, and I absolutely could not narrow down my list of favorites. Alas, I’m sharing at least half of them with you! Ha. Courtney has captured our pregnancy announcement, Emilia’s newborn photos and most recently, a few ‘motherhood’ sessions, which I will be sharing more of soon. As moms (and photographers), both Courtney and I are nearly always behind the lens, so we thought it would be a good idea to trade off taking photos of each other with our kids. Motherhood type sessions are more laid back than family photos, as there are really no perfectly posed shots needed.
Courtney gave birth to sweet Beau last month, and goodness gracious, he is handsome! His older sisters, Riley and Avery, are totally smitten with him, and it’s so sweet to see them all interact. We met at the most gorgeous park in Midtown, and despite it being literally 100 degrees, Courtney looks like a dream! She is rocking this mom-to-three-kids thing. Doesn’t she look amazing? We snuck in some breastfeeding photos at the end, which I didn’t share for her privacy sake, but they might be some of my favorite-favorite! It’s rare to have those intimate moments captured on camera.
Also, you may notice some changes around here! Last week, I received my new logos for Snapshots & My Thoughts and for my photography business, Snapshots by Ailee Petrovic. They were designed by Amy, the owner of Papellerie, and I could not be happier with them! On Friday, I uploaded them to my sites, then sat around staring at my blog for awhile with it’s snazzy new logo and thought to myself, “I need a new blog design.” Fast forward a day, and I am at my computer coding away! Ha, or Googling pieces of code and fiddling with customizing blog templates. I hope y’all like it! Now to update my photography website – it definitely needs a refresh. I still need to fix a few kinks here and there, but what do y’all think about the re-design?
Now, feast your eyes on pure motherhood sweetness.
On January 29, we became a family of five with the birth of Miss Emilia (can’t forget Belle, our pup!). This sweet girl’s life has been well documented so far (evidenced 
We are so very excited to share the news that we’re expecting another baby girl, due February 3 (her Aunt/’Tetka’ Ivana’s birthday!). Isla already talks about her little sister all of the time and likes to put her head on my stomach to try to hear her. We’re looking forward to watching her in the role of big sis’ (although we’re aware it’s not always a walk in the park!). Little one already has a name, which we plan on sharing later this week!
