Entryway - Christmas Edition!

Here is our Second Christmas Edition post...Finally! These past few weeks were the last of my semester, so I was crazy busy with finals. Thankfully, they are over now and I can fully enjoy the Christmas season. 

I love the holidays and redecorating for Christmas most of all. Thankfully, my hubby doesn't mind and actually helps out! Yep, he's a sweetie. One day we hope to host Christmas at our house for family to come and visit...but for now, our blog will have to serve as a visit. Welcome to our home!

On the door, we hung our wreath from last year, which I still love! I love the frosted berries and twig look. 

 

Once inside, I kept our self simple by adding an extra large pine cone, which I got from our St. Nick store for 0.99!! 

 

On our bench, I added another extra large pine cone with an old lantern with mini pine cones. Then, the basket stores our many pairs of gloves and hats! 

 

After that, I added garland to our railing on the staircase. It took 2 strands, but they were 50% off at Hobby Lobby this past week! Then I added lights and mini berry clusters which were 0.39 each at Joann's.

 

 I love coming home to these festive decorations. Christmas lights make my heart warm!

 

Then, once you come up the stairs, this shelf is on the left. Here I added a winter candle called Snowed In* and it smells sooo yummy! Makes me wish we could be snowed in for just a day. I paired the candle with some pine cones and another berry cluster. 

(*The candle was from Bath&Body Works. The best way to buy Christmas candles is to get their emailed coupons and wait until they go on sale 2 for $20. My coupon was for $10 off $30 or more...so I bought 3 candles and only paid $20, which is the regular price for one!) 

 Finally, your next stop would be the coat closet, which has this lovely wreath. It was the same one I used for thanksgiving and I just added some sprigs of berries and 2 clusters. Simple and pretty! 

Wish you all could be here to really see our home and visit us! Hope you enjoyed a peek at our place and got a bit of inspiration. Happy holidays and stay tuned for more Christmas Edition posts!

Kearbey Family + Maternity {Dallas, Tx}

Over Thanksgiving break, I had privilege to shoot my second Kearbey family session! Their first session was over a year ago and my older sister, Lorissa was pregnant with their youngest son, Luke. That was also my first session with my first camera ever. They were so sweet to let me practice on them. Now, Lorissa is pregnant with their third and it's finally a little girl! I love being able to capture a family as they continue to grow.

Jack and Luke were such fun to take pictures of as they are full of personality. Most of their pictures are candid of them playing and Chad playing too! Others were taken as I ran around with the camera and they chased me. Best kids' session ever!! We also got some maternity shots for baby Charlotte. Hope you enjoy this lovely family and maternity session!
