Our First Family of 4 Photos

I can’t believe that as I’m writing this, Ellie Anne is almost 2 weeks old! What a quick and dear two weeks it’s been. columbus ohio family photography

columbus ohio family photographyThe precious newborn phase is fleeting, which is why Nic and I were absolutely thrilled to work with Sophia and Alex of Cheek to Cheek Studio to capture our first family of 4 photos. (Side note: Sophia and I met nearly 4 years ago when we both starting blogging in Columbus – she is the absolute sweetest person with the most infectious smile and now having also met Alex, he is very witty and very easy to talk to! They’re definitely a great team when it comes to newborn photography & I’m not just saying that)!columbus ohio newborn photography
columbus ohio family photographyI love how Cheek to Cheek brings the studio to your home because every little bit helps when you’re trying to get your sleep-deprived self presentable in addition to convincing a bold toddler to keep her outfit on and her bow in, all while also making sure your newborn is well fed. 🙂columbus ohio family photography

Newborn photographyI’m currently in the midst of ordering prints of these photos, particularly of the Ava/Ellie shots because I’m so happy with the way Sophia & Alex candidly captured Ava’s genuine love and enthusiasm for her sister!columbus ohio family photography

Newborn photographyAnyone that knows Ava knows that she is a busy girl, constantly “working” and chatting. During our shoot with Cheek to Cheek, Ava was very engaged and focused on Ellie, with the patient direction of Sophia and Alex, which she quickly deemed “my friends.”columbus ohio newborn photography

Newborn photographyAnd darling Ellie is just an absolute doll who has joined our family so naturally… we already can’t picture our home without her. While I know we have a lot of getting to know each other time ahead of us, so far, she has been a pretty laid-back, sweet baby who already likes her nighttime sleep (we’ve had a few 5 and 6-hour stretches so far)!Newborn photography

columbus ohio newborn photographyAs I mentioned before, Big sis Ava is absolutely in love with her sister which has been heartwarming to witness. She checks on her throughout the day, gives her tons of hugs and kisses, and has even helped me (voluntarily) change a dirty diaper or two. 🙂 I especially love the very last photo on this post of Ellie – she is such a little nugget!columbus ohio family photography

🤍 It's time to refresh our towels + bedding for the New Year! After heading to @meijerstores, I picked up fresh white towels, pretty patterned sheets + pillowcases, and a classic, crisp white quilt. 🥰 To keep everything tidy, I added in some woven baskets + wire bins. I layered in greenery 🌱 for natural elements as well as pretty + functional cleaners, a gorgeous candle, and a sign with personality! How do you keep your bath and bedroom linens organized? #Meijer #NewYear #Organization
Our January #bookshelfie 🤍 Clean, fresh, + simp Our January #bookshelfie 🤍 Clean, fresh, + simple. // I’ve been absent on social this week, actually really since the change of the New Year.  This was intentional & planned before what happened this week. Just because I’ve been silent on here doesn’t mean I haven’t been speaking out in real life. I chose to listen on here, quite a lost art that I’m personally working on improving this year. 🤍 I’ll leave you with this: The other day, Ava and I were reading Parker Looks Up, one of the books we’re reading this month. 📖 She looked at me and said, “I love her skin Mommy. Isn’t it pretty?” Yes, my dear it is. ❤️
