Our lovely and talented friend Aimee came out from Boston last week to take some adorable newborn photos of Finley. While she was here, we asked if we could take some family photos as well. All the pictures came out beyond amazing. They make my heart swell up just looking at them. This is my family. I really can’t get over that we have 2 beautiful children. How did I get so lucky?
We took the photos up in our bedroom. We literally just finished painting it white the week before Finley was born. I had every intention of giving birth to Finley up there, so I wanted it to be finished. Her birth just happened too fast and we never even made it up there. Whoops. At least we have a peaceful, calm place to head to bed every night now. I worked really hard on the “Be Thou My Vision” hymn on the wall. I hand drew them out and then projected it up on the wall. I used paint makers to color it in and give the letters some dimension. I really love how it came out. They are the perfect words to carry with us as we start each new day.

Sorry. I just couldn’t narrow them down.
If you live in Massachusetts or even around New England make sure you check out Aimee’s photography website and think of her when you need some photos taken!
and yes, the top line of the mural is not finished. Whoops.
Oh, my goodness, Jen! The photos are absolutely gorgeous.
And the quote on the wall is breathtaking!
All pictures look beautiful specially the one with Rowan and Finley.

Love photos!
Your mural is AMAZING! That is one of my most favorite songs. Love it!
What’s up everyone, it’s my first go to see at this web site,
and article is in fact fruitful in favor of me, keep up posting these types of
posts.
Hello from Pinterest!! Such stunning photos!!
I skipped over to your etsy as well… I was wondering, if I sent you a poem, could you write it up like that so I could do something similar on a canvas? Of course, I would pay you to do it!! Anyways… obviously with a new baby, you might not be doing ANYTHING extra right now!! Which I *totally* get (I have 6), so just whenever you’re ready to take on some commission work 🙂
I am considering doing something similar to your hymn on my wall. except I was going to do the whole wall… maybe i’m crazy… any pointers before I start??? and I’ve never heard of paint markers… what brand did you use and where did you get them?
