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

Hoppy Easter! 🐰🌷 This was how the day starte Hoppy Easter! 🐰🌷 This was how the day started but certainly not how it ended 😆! We had two exhausted kiddos (& parents!), tummy aches (& more) from too much candy, & lots of meltdowns along the way! 🌸 Holidays are FUN & oh so memorable... but it’s always great to get back to the regular routine! 🤍😊 #easter
E A S T E R 🐰 is getting sooo close! 🌷 remem E A S T E R 🐰 is getting sooo close! 🌷 remember a few weeks ago when I showed you guys some things I was going to gift the girls for Easter? Well, I’ve decided since Ellie’s bday is so close to the holiday this year, I’m splitting up the goodies, gifting half on her bday & half on Easter. Less is more this year! We just don’t need all the STUFF. Mamas, you know what I saying here right?? 🤍🤍🤍 also found those cute baskets on @etsy ... I’ll link them but found them bc of @themamanotes ! I can’t take credit for this find but they sure are CUTE!
What are your fave shops for bday party supplies? What are your fave shops for bday party supplies? ✨ My go-to shops are: @glamfete @ellieandpiperco @fancyfreefinery @shopsweetlulu & @amazon 🤍✨ currently planning Ellie’s bday which is just around the corner! #birthdayparty #kidsbirthday
Puffy paint fun!!! 🎨 So simple & such a fun act Puffy paint fun!!! 🎨 So simple & such a fun activity for the girls - white glue, shaving cream, & food coloring! 🌈 Really though, I should be working on our tax return since the one month countdown is on! I always seem to wait until the last minute! Anyone else?! 🙈 This year, if you plan to put any of your refund into college savings, I’ve partnered with Ohio’s 529 to share the benefit of saving for college in a 529 account rather than a traditional savings account. That’s because all contributions and earnings grow tax-free in a 529 plan, meaning your money will go farther compared to savings in a traditional, low-interest savings account. SWIPE to see a cool graphic they put together to show the difference it can make over time!
DIY Easter Egg Wreath! 🐇 This diy from last yea DIY Easter Egg Wreath! 🐇 This diy from last year was sooo simple! We picked up white eggs from the dollar store, painted them, and then hot glued them to a styrofoam wreath! 🐣🌷✨ #easterdiy #diy #easter #eastereggs
