SEVEN

A few months ago, at sunrise, B and I met up with Liz from Hough Photography to get some new pictures of the two of us, sans kids.  The last time we had purposefully taken pictures of just the two of us was our wedding...

And we were clearly babies then, so it was long over due and the light at 7 in the morning during the summer is just so perfect.

 

A lot has changed in seven years, Mr. Wilkinson, but there is a constant through it all: 

home will always be where you are.

Everett's FIRST Birthday Pictures

It only seems appropriate that on a Thursday, I would throw it way back to Everett's first birthday pictures. I have only had this post drafted for a month and change after all... I would say #secondbabyprobs but Natalie didn't even get first birthday pictures, so there's that.

One of my favorite relationships that has blossomed in the last year (+) is the one that I have formed with Liz from Liz Hough Photography.  She has the most beautiful, creative, talented soul and I feel fortunate that our paths crossed and I get to have this incredible, inspiring woman in my life.  She has a very calm and collected demeanor that makes taking pictures with her a total breeze and she captures my children so effortlessly. I truly cherish every picture she has taken for us.  It's no wonder that when I started thinking about Everett's first birthday back in March, she was one of the first people I contacted. She was the first person to photograph my sweet boy when he was born so it only made sense that we would wrap up his first year with Liz too - and on his birthday at that!

We had planned to meet up with Liz at Catoctin Creek Park at 8:30 in the morning on Everett's birthday but due to some road closures it was closer to 9.  Usually this would have really bothered me, but the birthday boy was taking a car nap so it worked out really well. It was fun to come back to Catoctin Creek for the pictures - it was like coming full circle since we had done his maternity pictures there.

So, enjoy a little picture heavy post for this blazing hot (at least here in MD) Thursday.

And seriously, how sweet are these pictures with big sissy :)  I love this little duo.

Thanks Liz Hough for always making my picture dreams come true!
