Watermark Newbie!

So I created my first time ever watermark today, and I'll admit I'm feeling pret-ty legit.

But I would like feedback on it.

Is "emilyphotography" just too bland?

And does that font look too elementary school?

I mean, I am an adult!!

And isn't my brand new nephew just precious? These were taken when he was about 10 days old. And I could've spent my entire day snapping photos of him. I think taking pictures of newborns might be my favorite. They can't move. They pretty much sleep the whole time. And you don't have to try and get them to smile, cause well, they can't :)

Bliss.

Watermark thoughts?

love you lots, emma.

Birthdays!

Last week was sure a busy one! We kicked off the week with Liam's 5th birthday, and then Juliette's 3rd birthday. And we ended the week with Easter! There was lots of celebrating and fun, that's for sure! This week we're loving a quieter schedule thanks to Spring Break. I keep looking at my planner for the week, and there's hardly anything on it! I almost have to do a double take. It's pretty awesome. I'm trying to use my extra time to catch up on some blogging! I think I have about five posts underway... so exciting, I know. XOXO, Marie

Missing My Missionary

I think it's safe to assume that we all MISS THIS GUY:

Christian and I recorded this video during winter break, about a month before he left.

Playing music with him is definitely what I miss most about our missionary.

And I don't know about you guys... but I sort of love missing our Elder Allred.

It's just so awesome he's on a mission!

Missionaries are just the best kind of people to miss.

Don't you just miss him so much more after watching this??!!
He's great.

Total, true, love,
Lissie

You Choose

I took this boy's pictures yesterday in hopes of framing one for my living room wall.

But being his mother, I can't really choose.

Of course, I think e-v-e-r-y single one is the cutest picture ever. :)

So, do help me.

I think my personal favorites are #6 and #8?

But then I love #7 too.... And # 2.

Gah.

You choose.

love you lots, emma.

Slowly but surely

Cole might be 2+ years old, but it's never too late to somewhat decorate his room, am I right?! I finally put something cute on one part of one of his walls, so I'm making progress! And then I bribed him by saying I would make him waffles if he laid on his bed for me so I could take his picture. He cooperated and I was happy :) I have a lot more projects for his room. Slowly but surely, his room will one day look AWESOME! :)

To Cancun and Back!

Despite my expired passport woes, I made it safe and sound to Cancun to my family! We had an unforgettable time! I could've spent a lifetime taking pictures there. It was beautiful and unique and quite the cultural experience, too. I've posted some more about our adventures on my family blog if you're interested.

'Til next time, Cancun! We loved you.

XOXO, Marie

A few favorites from Austin

A few of my favorite shots from our trip to Austin a couple weeks ago. I wrote about it more here.
