HAPPY JOY // Family + Nursery Shoot

…sending you into the weekend with a smile…

It’s Friday! Yay! It’s been so busy around here that I could use the break. I might even get to squeeze in some time with our dearest friends, the Fliss family. You may recall their wedding, that baby shower, the nursery? Well the little guy is 7 months old and as cute as can possibly be. They recently asked their wedding photographer, the amazing Jennifer Daigle, to do a family sesh in Jackson’s nursery. The photos warm my heart like you have no idea…and not just because I’m biased, right?

[ Remember these blocks? ]

Isn’t Jackson the most adorable ever? (Or as my daughter calls him, “her” baby Jackson.)

And I think what I love too is that the nursery itself went from this concept, to a reality, and now to a lived-in and well-loved part of a real home.

Super excited that I’ll get to work with Jennifer on a super secret photo shoot, too! Stay tuned, I cannot wait to share!

Happy weekend!

    Like nod to Africa with the textures of the woven basket and leather Moroccan pouf and safari animals without being too themey. Beautiful room and the kid could easily be a Gerber Baby. :-)

    Aww how sweet! This is such a great thing to have done. Then she gets to frame all the prints around the house (sigh). Don’t you love professional shoots? The nursery is beautiful and simple. Love!

      Hi Jess, the map is a wall graphic from Pottery Barn.

    Great room. I’m using a similar Pottery Barn Map in my little guy’s new nursery.

    What paint color is on the wall?
