Ruffles + Ribbons Baby Shower [Personal]

My family is currently preparing to welcome two new additions this fall, with 2 of my younger sisters expecting their first babies (both girls!!). So, to celebrate, we threw them a pink and white adorned, ruffles and ribbons themed baby shower on August 17th. Here are some photos from their day! :)

We held the shower at The Vincent House in Fort Dodge, IA (near my hometown of Humboldt), an old Victorian House which was absolutely beautiful. Cookies were made by Sprinkles & Company, Cupcakes by 4 Sweet Sisters, frozen yogurt bar and toppings were purchased by family/friends.

Special thanks to Sheryl, Abby, Sandy, Emma, and my mom for all your help! Also thanks to Coelle Smith for some fabulous ideas. :) 

Happy National Dog Day!

My friend Jess pointed out that today is National Dog Day (which was started in 2004 to recognize the massive number of shelter pets looking for a good home and to encourage their adoption)! So, what better way to celebrate than with some adorable puppy faces (including my own 2 rascals, of course) here on the blog? I love when clients bring their dogs to their session, it's so much fun for me as I'm obsessed with puppies, and it's nice to include every member of your family. :)

The two that rule my world...





And some sweet fur babies I've photographed this year...

I have to admit, it is strange for me to see my baby sister pregnant, but I am SO beyond thrilled to be an aunt and I can't wait until BriAnne and Colby's baby girl joins our family in mid September. I was home to co-host a joint baby shower this weekend (another younger sister of mine is also expecting in November, it's a regular baby boom!!), and we took advantage of the beautiful weather to take maternity photos in my parents' backyard. It was a beautiful night (despite the typical accident prone Bohan shenanagins, of course), and of course - my sister is stunning. I don't think I've ever seen her look so happy, she was positively glowing.

Bri and Colby - I'm so very happy for you guys, and I can't wait to meet baby girl very soon. I love you both, and I hope your love continues to grow as your family does.
