While it’s been over six months since he was born, we never officially introduced you to our newest addition to the family. Meet Forrest Allen Lang! Born on December 8, 2023. Weighing 8lbs 12oz and 21in in length. We will be sharing more about his birth story soon on the blog, but for now… please enjoy these super adorable newborn photos!

Greysen turned two back in September, but I’m just now getting around to editing and uploading these photos. This sweet boy was born during busy wedding season when I’m consumed with work year after year, so his sessions are always put on the back burner, haha!

Here’s our 2023 family photos! I use these blog posts more as a place to post and share our family photos than as a blog post to educate about memory keeping or anything. It’s a good reminder for all of you to hire a professional, get photos done, and keep documenting your lives. Since Greysen was born we’ve been getting family photos done every single year.

You may have noticed we stopped vlogging on our YouTube channel. This was kind of a big deal because our channel was how we shared about our every day lives and was the back bone of what I shared on this blog. YouTube was always our big memory keeping method and not doing it was a heartbreaking decision, but at the time, a totally necessary one. We haven’t vlogged on YouTube in over a year, and I wanted to share a little bit about why that happened.

In September this year Greysen will be 2 years old! Time has truly flown by. That being said, I never got around to posting a blog showcasing his photos from his one year old session and cake smash. So, before he turns another year older, I figured I better feature his 1 year old photos on our blog.

Introducing Heirloom Albums Memories that will last a lifetime! The photos and videos that we document for you have always been as a means to hold a moment in time--something you can review for years and years to come. With our high quality albums and prints, you can know that your wedding photos, love story, family pictures, and any captured photos will be safe and preserved as an heirloom for years and years to come.

Have you ever heard me say your story matters? If not, well maybe you’re new to my personal blog, because I say it all the time! And it does—I truly believe that your story matters. Even if you think “oh, my life is so boring” or “no one is going to want to listen to what I have to say” or even the infamous “no one cares,” you’re wrong! Because your story is shaping the future, and the only way we can all learn about it, grow through it, and experience your truth is by hearing your story. So, let’s say it again, your story matters.

I don’t think there’s much need for text here… mostly I just want a place to post and share our family photos. But, serious question—How often do you get family photos? Our goal is to get family photos every year. And then extended family photos for my side of the family and Trevor’s side of the family every other year. That means this year we’re getting THREE different family portrait sessions. Thankfully I LOVE pictures. Here is session #1… our little family.

We've been active a lot online lately, but haven't even touched our email newsletter in over a year. I mean, we've had a baby... but still!! We're sorry.

Time is slipping through my fingers. Literally… this boy is so squirmy. I haven’t been on here to blog since November, because life is just flying on by. Most of my memory keeping and documentation these days is on Instagram because using an app, some photos, and minimal words is a lot easier than writing an entire blog post. But, Greysen is officially (and has been for some time now) six months old. I cannot believe how quickly my baby has grown up. Before we know it he’s going to be walking!!

Trevor and I are so excited to announce the birth of our baby boy. Greysen James Lang was born on September 2, 2021. We were induced at the hospital, and while labor and delivery didn’t go as planned, we wound up with a happy healthy baby in the end. I can’t believe that we have been home with our little bundle of joy for over two months now. We are adjusting to life with a newborn really well and can even say we’re getting some sleep. He’s perfect in every way, and we are so in love!
