It makes me a little weepy to think another year has gone by since our last family photo session and to realize my babies are babies no more. Every year I feel like I can freeze time for just a second when we capture these images. Of course my goal is to always get the “perfect” family photo with us all looking forward and smiling but I have realized as great as those kind of photos may be, my favorites always end up being the more candid moments.From the lighting to the outfits to the location I loved everything about these this year. I especially love that this is the exact spot our new home with be next year…yay!!!

They say the days are long but the years are short; a saying I have heard a million times but never really understood until I had kids and I feel like the perfect way to sum up this post. Hope you enjoy!!

Scroll to the very bottom for my outfit details, this Free People dress was so flowy and comfortable!!

 

   

Hey all…welcome to my first official blog post!! I wanted to get this whole thing started with a little more info into who I am, what my blog is all about and most importantly who the three cuties below are.

I created Chasing Charli as an outlet to share basically everything I love. You will find anything from my personal style, healthy living, keeping up as a working and traveling momma, beauty faves, and everything in between. For years I have relied on other blogs to inspire and inform me on a range of topics, I finally decided rather than just following along I would dive in and create a little space of my own.

Now to the really important stuff, an introduction to my three favorite people. I met my husband Chad in high-school, I am 27 now so if you do the math that means we have been together for 11 years…basically my whole adult life. We have grown up together and in that 11 years became closer and more in love then ever. Not only are we each others biggest supporters but we truly know each other better then anyone. We got married in 2012 and life has been moving non-stop ever since.

A year after getting married we found out we had a baby girl on the way. On September 13th 2013 Charli Grace changed the course of our lives forever. Not only is she stinking cute but she is one of the brightest, kindest little girls around…with a little side of mischievous.

2 years and 3 days later our little family increased by one when Leighton Cole made her debut. She is sweet, sassy and about as adorable as they come.

Working full time in Marketing, raising kids, building a new house, starting a new blog adventure and the rest of life keeps me on my toes, but I definitely would not change a thing.

My biggest hope when visiting my blog is to offer something to someone. Whether it be style inspiration or even just a mid afternoon sanity check I hope to find an audience that can relate in one way or another.

Feel free to ask any questions that might pop up, I’m pretty much an open book. Enjoy!!
