Lauren & Kevin are expecting a sweet little boy

I was honoured when Lauren & Kevin asked me to photograph them during this precious time in their life because I know they are surrounded by a lot of talented friends. I have come to know these two better in the past year and it has been exciting seeing Lauren & Kevin go through the different stages of pregnancy (the good and the uncomfortable!).

These two have a real talent for making their home look amazing, and I love what they did with their nursery! I always ask if Lauren could come and decorate my home. She thinks I am joking but I am serious!

I know I felt scared when welcoming a new baby into our home but I know these two are going to be amazing! He is already so lucky to have you as parents Lauren & Kevin, as I know you have so much love to give. Congratulations you two!

Fa la la la la!

Having a kid around brings a different level of fun for the holidays I think! For example, one day I found the motivation to buy the biggest Christmas tree we have ever brought inside our home. I had to search for the smallest tree available on the lot because any bigger, the tree would not fit in our small car! I went to get some extra lights and a tree stand and drove home so giddy, all because I couldn't wait to see Eloise's reaction when she saw the tree all set up!

When she saw the tree lit up, she actually said "wooow"! So cute, and so worth it!

We still need a skirt and some more ornaments to fill the tree (there are barely any ornaments on the side facing the window) but I try to only buy a few ornaments a year. I am hoping to find something at City of Craft this weekend. The always generous Arounna gave Eloise a plush owl ornament when I visited last week! Perfect for our giant tree! Thanks Arounna!

Eloise had so much fun decorating the tree, she kept asking for more tinsel!

Heather & Liam are expecting something sweet

Spending time with these two brought back memories of the joy we felt when we were expecting our little girl. The happiness on their faces light up my heart. Heather & Liam, you are going to be the best parents, I am so excited for what is to come!

(that cozy quilt was made by Karyn as a wedding gift for Heather and Liam. It is stunning!)

Just walking to the store to get a bagel is so much fun with Jinny and Eloise.

Happy December everyone!
