Disney 2023
Reliving our Spring Break trip to Disney World through pictures this week as I cry at work. Kidding. Kind of. We had so much fun with Lake and Roan, along with my grandparents and parents, a few weeks ago at Disney. Here are day-by-day photos, plus links to most outfits. Magic Kingdom {day 1} Roan’s ruffle bubble is inspired by the famous ride, It’s a Small World, which she loved riding. Lake’s shirt features the monorail, which he loved riding.

Christmas Traditions: A Michigan Christmas Eve
Looking toward Thursday’s impending bad weather, we are realizing that we will not be able to travel to Michigan as planned. While we wait for next weekend and hope for clear skies and roads, I thought it would be fun to look back at Christmas Eve pictures from over the years- In honor of our tradition; Christmas Eve at my Grandma and Grandpa Mumaw’s house (or as Lake says, Grandma and Papa Mumaw, his friends). My hair has changed over the years, Daniel joined the crew, and now we have two precious babies around. One thing is for sure though- There is always a Chocolate Lab involved. Pictures are 2010-2021.

Skelton Family Fall 2022
It has been such a wonderful experience working with Lindsay Konopa and Julia Wadsworth over the past year and a half. We started with maternity pictures last summer, then added Roan’s newborn session, a spring family session, Roan’s one-year photos, and one last family session to round out our series just a few weeks ago. Please check out Lindsay’s work here and Julia’s work here. I cannot rave about them enough. They are easy to work with, great with kids, and they both create such beautiful and REAL work. I can’t wait to work them both again.
