on Crosby: dress (also love this one and this one), shoes c/o, similar barrette

If you can't tell from these photos, it's getting harder and harder to take pictures with a toddler. Crosby would much rather be running around than stay still for a photo. But we still try. Sunday we put on some pretty dresses, did our hair (how cute are her pig tails?!) and headed out to shoot these. I think they may be some of my favorites because she was so in her natural element.... which is non-stop.

When I found out I was pregnant with Crosby my family and friends were convinced I was having a boy. And that would have been fine... but deep down I knew I  always wanted a girl. Now that she's a toddler, dressing her is so much fun, especially when we can match. We were sent mommy and me matching swimsuits from 98 Coast Av right after she was born and I've been dying to wear them ever since. Sixteen months later, her's finally fits and we couldn't pass up a chance to rock them.

Planning an outing with a toddler is a little harder than planning an outing with an infant. When Crosby was a baby my diaper bag essentials were plenty of diapers and wipes, a spare outfit, burp cloths, pacifier and possibly a bottle. Now the girl needs all the things!

Happy Friday, friends! I’m slowing turning into a flower child over here one flower post at a time…

I wasn’t kidding when I said I packed an outfit change for the visit to the flower fields. I’m the queen of changing in the car these days. I knew this dress would be pretty there and I hadn’t had a chance to shoot it for the blog yet so it was an easy choice. It’s only $27 and comes in two other colors. I’m not usually a purple person, but this lavender is SO pretty! Size wise it runs a little big… I’m wearing a small and had to do some minor alterations. You know, top stick and safety pins. 🙂 continue reading
