This blog is getting a facelift, so excuse the mess!!! Any designers out there want to help me design my blog and watermark and a few other things in trade for a photoshoot? :) It's taking me forever to figure this out!!!

Repurpose: My old shirt to a toddler shirt

It's been awhile since I've shared a sewing post. I have a bunch of old button up shirts that I have been meaning to make into clothes for my girls. Here's the first shirt I made:
I made it from this old shirt. Bri wanted a matching hair clip so I looked at some of the frayed rosette tutorials and combined a few ideas. Best tip I found was using a pipe cleaner to wrap the fabric around, it makes it so much easier! I also had an old knit shirt that doesn't really fit anymore. However, I loved the print so I just altered it into a dress for Bri. She has worn it 2 days in a row and is sad that it now needs to be washed! I'll be making some more of these for summer!!
I also have a few other things I'm "repurposing" to share. I'll try to make a tutorial for some of them!

Home Sweet Home

We're finally back after more than a week of vacation! We had so much fun, but are loving being home in our own place, with our own things, on our own schedule!!!
More to come once we get settled!

Christensen Family

I am blessed to meet the most fun families while taking photos! The Christensens were fun and so easy going. I can't believe how easy their kids were to take pictures of! They kept begging for their turn, and they were fabulous!!!
Here's a long sneak peek because I couldn't just pick a few!

My favorite picture of the evening! Isn't Callie a doll?And check out the baby blues on Isabella! I could seriously eat her up! Eugene, getting teased about different girls, and it got the best smiles!!
Hayden was handsome and super cooperative!!!

Elvis is totally working the camera! Hello model!

This one had me cracking up! I told the parents to kiss in the background and Isabella leaned in to kiss her brother!!! These two boys on the ends are the best big brothers! They were so good with the little kids!
Ummmm, can I show you how much fun we had? I asked him to lean in and whisper sweetly in her ear and this is what I got! Hilarious!
Isn't Cheralyn a beauty? She just got the cutest haircut!

Thank you to the Christensens for such a fun evening!!!

The Teerlink Family

The Teerlink family! We had so much fun exploring new locations for photos! They were adventurous and followed me all around "nowhere land." They also had a lot of patience with me as we dealt with the bright sun and finding the best place for photos!
This lucky dad is surrounded by 5 gorgeous women! I'm sure he has to beat young men with a stick to stay away from his 4 beautiful daughters!

Alexandra is leaving for a mission soon and they wanted some fun photos to share the news! They borrowed some vintage suitcases from friends and they were perfect!!!She seems so sweet! I'm sure she will be a fantastic missionary!Adrianna is tall, beautiful and photogenic!Daniella has the most beautiful eyes!Olivia is just stinkin' cute and seems like so much fun to be around!Here are the two who started it all!
