Blog, Family, friends

apple picking (part one)

This past week, our family was invited by our good friends, Rachel and Chris, to go apple picking. They were taking pictures of our family (I will be posting some of those pictures sometime in the near future.) But I wanted to share a few that we got on our camera.

Thierbach Orchards is a lovely spot near Washington, Missouri

why only eat from one side when you can eat from every side?

 

 

Liam doesn’t actually like apples–but that didn’t stop him from having a good time

 

 

 

 

Thanks for going with us, Rachel and Chris!!

 

apple cider donuts—-oh my!!

 

Of course when you come home with more apples than you can eat, you search pinterest for all kinds of apple desserts. I ended up going with these salted caramel apple pie bars–complete with homemade salted caramel.

 

 

Coming soon–some pictures of our family at the orchard!

Blog, friends, newborn, photoshoot

Zeke and his mommy

I feel like I should start out this post by acknowledging the fact that I am not, nor do I think I am, anywhere near a professional photographer. Actually, I don’t even like to use the word “photographer.” I am a girl that just happens to have a decent camera. But when one of your best friends has their first baby? That just calls for a photoshoot. I asked Stef if I could take a few pictures of her and her sweet baby boy while I was over at her house for a visit. 

And let me just give props to those newborn photographers. When you see those pictures, they don’t come easily. So while these pictures aren’t professional quality, I sure did have fun taking them. Here are some of the pictures from our day. Stef is a beautiful mommy and Zeke is super handsome!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He even popped in a smile for me at the end 🙂
I’m looking forward to watching this little cutie grow!
