The Third Trimester + 40 Week Pregnancy Update
Here I am at 40 weeks pregnant, and I am so ready to meet our little girl. By this point with Henry, he’d already been with us for a few days, so it feels strange to be waiting for her arrival still. Over the last few weeks I’ve had a couple of episodes of contractions lasting an hour or so and then stopping, which has been frustrating as we get…
Our Family Beach Maternity Shoot
When we planned our recent holiday to the Outer Banks in North Carolina, I knew it would be the perfect opportunity to have some beautiful beach maternity photos taken right by the ocean. There is something so serene and beautiful about being by the sea, and with the warm glow of the sunset, it was just the perfect place for a pregnancy shoot. I wanted a few special photos of…
Henry at 23 Months
With Henry’s 2nd birthday just one week away, I thought I’d quickly capture his development over the last month before his big day. It is amazing to see him constantly evolving and learning, and it is with awe that I watch him each day, as he learns new things and finds joy in his latest abilities. I love the toddler stage – witnessing our little boy become his own person and discovering…

Pregnancy Update – 23 Weeks
How far along? 23 weeks + 2 Total weight gain/measurements: After losing almost a stone due to severe nausea and sickness in the first trimester, my weight remained static for another 2 months, but I’ve now finally started gaining and I’ve returned to my pre-pregnancy weight. It’s a relief to be gaining again as I enjoy getting bigger in pregnancy. I remember how breastfeeding made the weight fall off and I…
Baby Girl Nursery Wishlist
I love browsing Pinterest and Instagram for nursery decor inspiration, even when I’m not pregnant, so once we found out I’m carrying a baby girl, I was even more excited to look through the hundreds of beautiful interiors and plan how I’d like our nursery to look. My vision is something whimsical and fresh – white and pink with touches of gold in the accessories. There are so many pretty…
Strollin’ with the Stokke Scoot
Stokke is well renowned for their innovative designs and well-made pieces, so I was excited to be given the opportunity to try out the Stokke Scoot – the ideal compact solution for a smooth ride around the city and for travelling. Although the Bugaboo Cameleon has served us well, now that Henry is older I wanted something a little easier to get out and about with, that didn’t require taking…
