The Skeltons: Family and Maternity Pictures July 2021
Thank you so much to Lindsay Kokopa Photography for the amazing pictures of our growing family. Lake’s maternity pictures were taken on the beach at Lake Michigan, so I wanted something similar to that feel but unique to baby girl. This perfect spot on a Geist Reservoir dock felt so right. The water was gorgeous and Lake loved counting all the fishies around the shore. I canot get over how big my Lake looks in these pictures, taken just before his second birthday.

Lake Does Churchill Downs
I have been envisioning Lake’s first trip to Churchill Downs since before he was born. I ordered this tiny and perfect pink seersucker suit for him when I was pregnant, picturing him at his first Kentucky Derby. What I didn’t envision of course was a pandemic- The derby ran without spectators last year and this year, there were too many unknowns to anticipate if going would be a smart idea for us, especially with a toddler. We decided instead to once again attend Churchill Downs’ lovely Mothers Day brunch a week after the derby. We have been before, and done the Father’s Day edition too, but certainly never had as…

Perfect Pumpkin Picking
Fall feels with our nosy little boy- Daniel and I loved watching Lake at the pumpkin patch last weekend. He is so curious; he stares down every new person he sees and takes it all in as he listens, watches, and learns. You can see the gears moving as he observes a new environment. We loved picking out some fun pumpkins for our front porch at Kent’s Cucubis in Brookston, IN. It was a nice selection of both perfectly round and wonderfully weird pumpkins, plus the weather was gorgeous on a Sunday evening. We walked through their beautiful sunflower field and enjoyed a rare night all to ourselves. My dress…
