Before Oliver arrived, we decided to do his newborn photo shoot a bit different than Raleigh's. We wanted a laidback, relaxed feel that involved all four of us.

Enjoy the full feature on Wedding Chicks here! When I was first [...]

Ryan and I prefer names that are a bit more unique, even if they are considered popular, rather than names that are considered traditional.

This may be one of the shortest birth stories ever. And I have to start by saying that I have been incredibly blessed with easy and quick labor + delivery experiences! SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2017 Ryan and I were lying in bed that night after putting Raleigh to sleep, and I remember feeling a few contractions. They [...]
