Anyone else have a toddler who is obsessed with snacks? Not breakfast, lunch or dinner...just SNACKS. I love this visual from @kids.eat.in.color to help guide my snack decision-making (and sometimes he just gets pirates booty...and sometimes I say “no” when it’s close to dinner time...and that’s ok too!)

When you’re looking for a family photographer, they need to not only be great at taking pictures, but also at wrangling kids. That’s why we love @heatherlevenphotography so much- she is prompt, professional and she is, of course, a Mama! After she left our shoot, my usually shy and reserved 2 year old (that she had actually convinced to smile) said “Where Miss Heather go Mama? She come play again?” 😂 Contact Heather on her IG to set up your family shoot today!
