Photo 1: One of my avocado seeds has finally taken to life!

Photo 2: These girls are the best friends! We decided it was a day for a picnic 🙂

Photo 3: My dear friends Hannah and Laura bought be some sunflowers as a pick-me-up. I had to miss a best friend’s wedding this weekend because I am just too close to having this baby!

Photo 4: Hannah took this picture of me with my happy sunflowers. Sunflowers are my favorite!

Photo 5: I finished my quilt for the baby this week. And I’ve been sleeping with it ever since…

Photo 6: At the baby shower last weekend we tie dyed onesies and look how lovely they turned out! Can’t wait to dress our little peanut up in these beauties!

Photo 7: I had a severe craving for one of Panera‘s cinnamon crunch bagels. It was a very loving bagel 😉

Photo 1: Sam is ruining the pillows on our couch… but he does look adorable while doing it at least!

Photo 2: When Josh is gone I end up taking “selfies” per his request. This one, after hunting through all of my clothes (because it is never easy to find something that covers my belly anymore) I was ready to head to Mama and Papa-in-laws to finish planting the garden! This year I have tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, zucchini, green beans, carrots, beets, and lettuce growing so far! In this photo I am 34 weeks pregnant.

Photo 3: I just love this wedding invite! Can’t wait to stand up in Hannah and Austin’s wedding! P.S. Did their engagement shoot a week ago and y’all are in for a visual treat that’s for sure!

Photo 4: I got to do an interior design shoot for the Home and Garden issue BRAVA Magazine is doing for June. Since I cannot technically reveal photos before publication I snuck this little photo while I was there!

Photo 5: I did an incredible boudoir shoot at the studio last week! Can’t wait to work on these images and to hear all about how much her husband-to-be loves them!

Photo 6: Since Josh couldn’t make it to the MN baby shower we had to send him a photo 🙂 In this photo I am 35 weeks pregnant.

Photo 7: Haley hunted a big fly all day. Even into the night here she is waiting for the assailant to come back out of the lamp.

Photo 1: My 8MO session with Scarlett!

Photo 2: With the nice weather I opened the windows in the studio… I look over to see Haley trying to get as close to said window without falling off the couch.

Photo 3: A spread of my photography in BRAVA Magazine‘s April issue!

Photo 4: BRAVA Magazine gifts all their freelance photographers an ad once a year. Mine ran in the April issue!

Photo 5: Our house is a busy place with Josh hosting music lessons and me conducting my in-home photography studio. I made this sign so I can welcome his students into the house without having to drop my work to go answer the doorbell. I figure this will be particularly necessary when we have a dozing baby! You wake the baby, you die! Just kidding.

Photo 6: I also made this palette board map art this weekend. Since we can’t paint our walls in our apartment I wanted to get the baby’s colors incorporated into our space somehow!

Photo 7: An attempt at a prego selfie (31 weeks pregnant). All you folks who have mastered the prego selfie, I don’t know how you do it! I find it very troublesome standing sideways while holding the camera in a place that won’t block anything and still manage to snap the picture without dropping my phone…

Photo 1: Me, Joshua, and Sarah at Savannah’s birthday party at Pinstripes!

Photo 2: I took Joshua to Milwaukee for his birthday. We stayed at the Intercontinental Milwaukee Hotel and I highly recommend it! It’s within walking distance of the Third Ward, where we spent most of our time wandering about.

Photo 3: Painting + wine and beer = Splash Studio. What a terrific idea!

Photo 4: Enjoyed the world’s best french toast at Cafe Benelux for breakfast! And fresh squeezed orange juice! Yum!

Photo 5: Free admission to the Milwaukee Art Museum on the first Thursday of every month!

Photo 6: This mama bear was sick most of the week but on Friday I was down for the count! Watched movies and slept all day with my dogs happily snuggling with me the whole time.

Ok! I think I’m finally ready to get crackalakin’ at my “a Photo a Day” again! With the weather getting warmer I’m feeling much more inspired 🙂 And remember, if you have any subject requests or ideas I would love to hear them!

MONDAY Megan + Josh’s Valentines MINI session

TUESDAY My Grandma Lu passed away about a year ago… at TJMAX I found these and couldn’t help but think of her and buy them promptly. Her favorite candies were lemon drops and her last name was Hammond. They happen to also be the most tasty lemon drops I have ever consumed!

WEDNESDAY I love having Sunshine Albums arrive at my doorstep! This beauty will hang out in the studio for a year before I send it off to the clients for their one year anniversary 🙂

THURSDAY Another album came into the studio this week. This one was a Soft Cover Album of a series of baby photos I took of little Anna. Love the way it turned out! These albums are a beautiful, yet affordable option.

FRIDAY I’m trying to grow at avacado tree! I now have three seeds going hoping any or all of them give me a sprout 🙂 If I do get some greenery you will be seeing the growth progress in photos!

SATURDAY Went off house hunting with my parents all day! Our afternoon treat: Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Best caramel apples in the world!

SUNDAY Took a lazy Sunday morning with the family and the pups watching a new Disney favorite of mine, Frozen.
