NAM Nationals Fashion Round-Up

We walked through their beautiful sunflower field and enjoyed a rare night all to ourselves. My dress…

12 Months of Lake
I enjoyed capturing a picture of Lake each month and watching the changes in him as he grew. The last five or six pictures were nearly impossible to get, as he started the roll over, then sit, then crawl. I was excited to compile all 12 of his monthly photos to see the growth side by side over the course of Lake’s first year. Shop the wooden monthly milestone numbers here:
