Happy Holidays

Happy Thanksgiving

This year, we decided to stay home and make our own new traditions.  Not sure how many traditions we made exactly with all of the newborn chaos, but we definitely had fun.  I made my traditional Thanksgiving feast; Turkey, homemade stuffing- secret family recipe, green bean casserole for two recipe from Pintrest (Pintrest fail... sometimes you can't keep cutting recipes down to make just two servings.  Totally compromised the dish), mashed potatoes, gravy, Hawaiian rolls and cranberry sauce which I forgot to put out on the table until we were done.  Whoops.  Oh and I made those awesome salted carmel chocolate chip cookies from the diaper party.  Yum!  Stella did great watching me cook from her high chair that I placed in the kitchen...

Until Dinner...

I think she was just mad she couldn't partake in all of the yumminess.  I would be too!  Sooooooo...

She helped me eat :)  Happy Thanksgiving everyone and let the holiday festivities BEGIN!

What a difference a year makes

It's crazy that just a year ago, I started this photo blog with a post from my first official family Thanksgiving as a married woman and as me as the chef.  Time flies and my how do things change in just a year.  Over the past year, my life has changed in so many amazing ways.  And looking back at those first posts, so has my photography.  Some of those posts from the beginning are a bit difficult to look at now!  Although my posts have been few and far between these days (this little one has a 6th sense; once I go to take a few shots, she wakes up crying), my passion for photography has only grown more and more.  

Thank you to those who followed my blog.  Once things settle down around here, I'll be back at it.  And don't forget to check out my business site: www.eschmidtphotography.com for more!

Work it

I came home from out pediatrician's appointment to find Barkley working it in the studio.  I had it set up still from my shoot with Stella the other day and apparently he was ready for his turn...or just found a comfy spot for a nap.
