I got to see Reid again in October to capture him at one whole year!

I met up with Reid and his momma again last month to capture him at a very busy 18 months! : ) His momma had told me he had grown and
changed a lot since his first birthday. When they got out of the car, I couldn’t believe how much he had changed. He’s totally filled out
now (must’ve been the birthday cake), has a ton of hair, and has transformed from a baby into a little boy!!

A little boy who loves tractors…

Who also still loves snuggling with his momma. : )

What a difference a year makes!

Madelyn had a new toothless smile to show off since our last session! So cute!

And I had to share a couple favorites from our session this past October that I haven’t posted here or on facebook.
Madelyn & her little dog, Rascal, are so cute together! 

It’s always so exciting to see my little babies again, see how much they’ve grown, and enjoy their unique and entertaining personalities! And, little Miss Haley Claire is a comedian! She might only be one, but she already stands her ground with her big brother (and maybe even calls the shots already), she is funny and likes to get a laugh out of her fans, and she’s super cute, too! Look how much she’s grown in her first year!

Just a year ago, I was photographing Miss Haley as a chubby, adorable, easy going newborn.
And now she recently celebrated her 1st Birthday!

Perhaps this goes without saying, but she really loved her cake! : )

I’ve been doing a lot of “then and now” posts on facebook lately. The sentimentalist in me can’t help it!
So, here is our sweet sibling photo from Haley’s newborn session:

And here is big brother and little sis now!

And I love this glimpse of family life with two little ones under 3. It’s demanding and tiring, I know, but these two are well-suited for the task
and wonderful parents!

The first of several posts to come in the next few days–Miss Claire’s First Communion portraits! It is always so much fun to work with little girls. They love having their picture taken and are happy, willing subjects! : ) This is especially true of Claire. It was really special to not only get some outdoor portraits, but also in the amazing church, founded in 1876, that Claire is a member of.

I couldn’t decide on black & white or color on the next one:
This is one of the “peeks” I posted on facebook:

And I’ll close with these oh-so-Claire outtakes. I love this little girl and her personality through and through!!

Congratulations on your First Holy Communion, Claire Ruth!

While editing these photos, I decided to groove to the songs that were big during my junior and senior prom.  : ) Does anybody remember Montell Jordan’s This is How We Do It? : ) What was your favorite song played at your prom?

Just popping in with a quick update–there are only 2 Spring Mini-Session spots remaining. Call me at 812.630.8096 or email info@laceyreimann.com to claim a spot!

I’ve been so happy with how my little kitchen & living room “makeover” has been coming along that I thought I’d share some of the photos I’ve been taking. Thanks to Pinterest, it has been much easier to define my style & what I love most! When I pin photos to my “Interior Design Inspiration” board, I only pin rooms/decor that I absolutely love. So, when looking at my board, it is very easy to see an overall pattern–lots of white, airy and light, soft blues, new mixed with old, rustic, natural wood, and casual/comfortable.

My table isn’t exactly what I was looking for. But, after happening upon it at Tickled Pink, Mom & I both loved it and I knew it would work well with the room. It was a steal–especially when compared to the Restoration Hardware table we had originally planned on.

This image (below) seems to sum up my style pretty well. I have been enjoying bouquet after bouquet of fresh flowers from my yard!
This is the snowball bush my Grandma Jean gave me. I am really liking this simple pitcher vase from IKEA.

The cabinets flanking each side of the window seat are perfect for creating more storage for all the kids’ art and craft supplies + my mason
jars and vases are displayed in the top.

I picked up this starfish & shell garland for a mere $10 at Big Lots. I’m not sure where it is going to end up, but for now I just draped it over
the chandelier. I had planned to swap the chandelier out for a drum shade pendant. A couple coats of white paint  make it suitable for now.

The window seat itself? I’ve always wanted one and will be sure at least one built-in is included in our future home-building plans.
Until then, I found a simple way to incorporate a window seat into our existing kitchen: IKEA’s Expedit bookshelf turned on its side.
My husband built a box and attached it to the back to extend the seating and make it deeper. The seagrass baskets, also from IKEA,
create a TON of storage for games and puzzles.

This neat Etsy shop inspired me to make a terrarium as an everyday living centerpiece.

It turns out I haven’t taken many photos of the living room. But, here is my new wall gallery that Jon and I hung on Saturday night. : )
The pillow covers are from Etsy. I love my feather throw pillows from IKEA. So comfortable!

Jon and I love how this gallery turned out. It was a very fun vacation and the photos make me smile! You can see them better here.

If you have any questions or would like to know where an item was purchased, just let me know in the comments below or on my facebook page.

Bristol picked her first flower! : ) I love this series of her studying the little violet she picked–just before attempting to eat it. : )

I found the secret to getting this doll baby to show her beautiful toothy grin: belly tickles!! She couldn’t resist ‘em!

Isn’t she just a breath of fresh air?! I love Spring. And babies.  : )

I love my Easter bunny picture, courtesy of my talented friend, Amy. It looks so much cuter in person–taking a picture of a picture
doesn’t do it justice.

It seems like I post on facebook more than I do here. Like this photo that I posted on Saturday. It goes with a Spring/Easter themed post, right? : )

Happy Spring, friends!! Enjoy these beautiful days and mild temps!
