    I’m thankful for a magical trip to Disney last week with our family. It was perfect weather, and the kids had a blast. Lake was tall enough to ride some new rides like Thunder Mountain and Slinky Dog Dash and Roan met several princesses.

    Lake is in his last year of preschool and Roan just started her very first. We’re so thankful for the amazing teachers at their school who help them feel loved and ready to learn. Both first-day outfits are from Classic Whimsy.

    Mitten Memories: Fall Break Dump 2023

    October 26, 2023 /

    We had the best little getaway in Michigan last week. Lake had the honor of being the ring bearer in Keegan and Sabrina’s wedding. He did SUCH a good job and was sooooooo excited to wear his tux. Roan and Lake both danced the night away at the reception! We got to Petoskey a little early, so we ventured out to a light house and Lake was very interested in learning about buoys. We spent one night in Mackinaw City and another in Charlevoix, before heading over to Mackinac Island for a quick visit on our last day. Roan was obsessed with the “Neigh Neighs” on the island and both…

    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. EPCOT Lake and Roan’s matching outfits are from Stitchy Fish. Hollywood Studios The entire family sported “Cars” themed shirts, each one of us wearing a different character. Lake got to…

    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.
