The Huntoons!

-

Meet the Huntoons! They have such a great last name, don't they? I am related to these beautiful people through my husband; Michelle is Blake's aunt! It has been such a joy to get to know them on our many visits to East Tennessee! I had so much fun taking my first session of family photos for an "adult family!" I was joking with them that it is nice to not have to make goofy noises in attempts to get them to smile haha! I'm used to taking pictures of children or couples but again, this is my first family photo session! I was a little nervous because there were five people to pose and you never know how some people are going to react... these guys were pros! I was so impressed with how flexible they were in the heat, humidity, and many scenery changes! They were so natural, able to enjoy the session, and it was a treat to spend some quality time with them! 

Blake's Mamaw and Papaw joined us at the park too while Blake's mother was strolling around with Jude. It was a special summer night in the hills of Tennessee that I'll never forget. I'll also never forget that poor Blake was in Florida (still is) while I was hanging out with his awesome family (our family). I have received the royal treatment, let me tell you! Blake's Mamaw invited Jude and me over for lunch and there was the most amazing spread of chicken salad, croissants, fresh green beans from their garden, carrots, deviled eggs, cucumbers, and the most delicious chocolate cake. The kind of chocolate cake that sticks to the fork because it's so moist. Mamaw is amazing! 

Back to the pictures... I can't wait to show them to you! I took over 200 photos so I'll spare you the pain of scrolling endlessly and just show you some of my favorites! I had a few goals in mind during this photo-shoot:

1. Capture a few "natural light" photos during this golden hour of sunshine! The term "natural light" refers to a type of picture that captures the sunshine rays/haze filtering the picture. 

2. Capture photos that show the family being themselves 

3. Capture family photos that have personality and multiple textures  

4. Avoid all awkward poses that remind you of boring church directory family portraits :) haha!
i LOVE this picture because Michelle looks so beautiful and... the haze, yay!

    I posted something earlier but it was from my phone and doesn't seem to be here.

    The pictures are lovely! The sunny haze is perfection. Great Job Caroline!

    If you get it twice.... well it deserves it :)

Jude's Little Blue Truck Party

Little Blue Truck Almost every day, Jude enjoys the rhythm and rhymes of a particular book about a little blue truck. This truck and a few adorably illustrated farm animals help a mean old dump truck ( HOOOONK ) learn a valuable lesson about making friends. We all need friends and the right kind; that is for certain. He can finish almost any phrase, make all the animal sounds, and turn each page as we snuggle together. We treasure those moments and hearing his animated "beep, beep, beep!" Since this little dude has such an attachment to the "Little Blue Truck" by Alice Shertle, we decided that it would be the perfect theme for his second birthday party. I tried not to go over-the-top since Jude could care less about all the matchy decorations. I get it. However, just as I thought, he LOVED the blue truck on his cake! I'm so glad his gaze stopped on the cake for two seconds to notice it... he wouldn't quite settle down until that truck was on th...

Grief, Glory, and Guacamole

Florida Herrons May, 2018 To my friends who have shared this little blog with me over the past ten years, thank you!   There's a part of me that has been avoiding writing lately because I didn't know where to start. My heart has been heavy this year. Moments where you stop and pray ;  But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. (ESV Psalm 3:3) So, as I begin to blog again I feel the need to clarify something; transparency is not my goal here. I hesitate to focus on simply being transparent because it's important for me not to shortchange the TRUTH of God's word and lordship over my life. Another head-nodding in affirmation is nice but I need Jesus. I need the power of His word.  My aim is to glorify the Lord and tell of His faithfulness. After all, " For  we are his workmanship,  created in Christ Jesus  for good works,  which God prepared beforehand,  that we should walk in them . (ESV Ephes...

Let the nesting begin! We have been so thrilled to be able to start putting the baby room together! Thanks to Blake's workmanship and our wonderful Leigh Ann and Lonas, we now have an assembled crib and changing table for little baby boy!  little kitty is not allowed in baby's room i was a super tool holder! the changing table was a lot harder to assemble than the crib! Thanks to the wonderful world of Pinterest I have been able to successfully organize many creative ideas for our little baby boy nursery!! I definitely do not want to get carried away but I LOVE making little creative projects.   Our crib!! Room idea #1 our crib :) also, we are probably going to paint the nursery this color! I'll be hanging some lanterns too! We are SO thankful that Blake's amazing momma,"Granna," will be making the baby bedding for us! It makes me kind of sad that sewing is a dying art but it's so cool that we'll have a li...
