So the background may look familiar on these, but I decided to bring my kiddos to The Magers Family sesh that was just on the blog last week! All the Magers babes have matching outfits (thanks to Grandma Lisa) so I thought what a prime opportunity to get updated pics! We took these right after […]

I don’t know how time goes by so damn fast, but little Chippy is ONE!!! AHH!!! The Magers fam bam met outside of Paxton at a family friends property for these! My kiddos were there too so, stay tuned for the mini cousin shoot – spoiler, it’s damn cute! I freaking love the way these […]

For those of you who don’t know, I’ve not been doing this blog alone for MONTHSSS. Today, my amazing friend and publisher Paige wanted to take over the blog in celebration of Mothers Day. I loved the idea, so I let her run with it. Take it away Paige!   I’ve been thinking a lot […]

WOW. How has it been TWO months already?! My little peanut is growing so quickly but he’s still so petite! This month has flown by! We’ve had a lot going on in the Magers household but getting these monthly pictures with Barrick + Bexley make my heart so happy!! The love Bex has for him […]

I’m not going to lie, this was a hard one to write. January 2021 was not easy on our family and I wanted to share everything, so it’s a long one. Our year started out, mmmm, unusual that’s for sure! We had been exposed to the ‘VID over the holidays, so we brought in the […]

THIRTY. wow! It’s weird to think that I’ve loved you for over one third of your lifetime! I have been so excited to celebrate your 30th birthday with you so much that I couldn’t wait until today! For those of you who don’t know, Brandon’s gotten to open three gifts a day for the past […]

Welp. I think we can all agree 2020 was a hot f*cking mess. Right?! I had started 2020 with the hopes and ambitions to blog a “monthly recap” each month not only to update y’all on things, but as almost a personal journal to remember things by. I’m pretty sure I did it January and […]

Hello world! I’m back! Of course, “back” is a loose term with the way life goes, but since my last post sharing our amazing maternity photos and announcing my maternity leave, A LOT has changed! I’ll try and cover it all one day, but today I get to share the biggest highlight of 2021 so […]

I promised Chip would be up on the blog soon and whatdya know….here he is 😊 We finally were able to add a BOY to this crazy #girlgang of Magers girls. Chip is the newest addition (only for a little bit) and he’s the most perfect little guy! Bexley is obsessed with him – it’s […]

I wanted to share with you some of our favorite products we bought (and ended up needing) on our trip to Iceland! Travel Smart During our 24 hours of traveling, there were a few things that stuck out as useful! First, our backpacks! Being able to walk through with something on your back rather than […]

Father’s Day is this Sunday so I thought I would throw it back to Father’s Day 2019. For all you last minute folks, here’s the reminder to go get the gift lol 🙂 Last years Father’s Day wasn’t as normal as it usually is for a few reasons. Typically, we always host but this last […]

Hi baby, it’s your mama. I want to start before the beginning, if that’s even possible, but I think it’s pertinent. Before we had our first baby, who turned out to be our red-headed, tender-hearted, wild and smart little Bexley. You see, before her, before the thought of her, I was unsure that there would […]

I can’t believe February has come and gone already! February was full of ups and downs, honestly. I spent all last week recovering from some nasty bug that ultimately resulted in severe ear infections in both ears, through which I had to work photographing our first round of Chicago boudoir mini sessions! I am SO […]

Happy February! As January came to a close, this first blog day is dedicated to the entire month! I talked a bit in my 2020 goals blog post that I wanted to keep things here on a bit of a personal level, and what better than to recap my entire month from the personal side?! […]

I cannot believe it’s January already. This is one of my most anticipated posts of the entire year. Including not only myself but fellow co-workers and professionals I get to work alongside for some goofy-ass photos is my bread and butter. I love this post, but it’s always a long one, so strap in folks. […]

Today’s post is going to be short and sweet. I don’t want to waste to much time today but to tell each and every one of you reading this thank you. Without you and your support this year would have been a really rough one. But looking back, we’ve made some great memories! We took trips […]

Black Friday, am I right?! Some people LOVE it, and some people hate it. I personally love it! Since today’s post falls on Black Friday, I thought I’d share my top 5 tips for getting through today! 1. Find the Deals, duh. I think the main reason people love this day is the amazing deals […]

Oh. My. Goodness. Our girl is FOUR. We’re right at the edge of excitement to see the future and frightened to lose our baby girl. I hope she keeps her red hair and curls. They are a beautiful blend of her daddy and myself. I hope she stays independent, despite the guaranteed arguments it will […]
