Weston Knox | Nursery re-do | Hush Little Bebe Designs

There's that bitter sweet realization, when you've lowered the crib mattress + packed away the crib bumpers that graduates your little from infant to toddler.

I had been wanting to re-do Weston's Infamous Pinterest Pinned nursery for what felt like ever, and really drew inspiration from a custom made quilt from Hush Little Bebe Designs.

Almost every piece in his room was given a fresh coat of paint or some sort of new transformation to match the big boy nursery!

These letters sure have come a long way!

The crib sheet was also custom made by the same company; Hush Little Bebe Designs to match his room!

As I'm preparing to also transition him from a crib to a toddler bed, I can't help but think; He's grown so fast, in such a short amount of time!

I also did a editorial spread for our custom quilt from HLB... and LOVED how some of the shots turned out!

Buckets, Bubbles + Baby Butts | Oh my!

Our sweet Weston Knox has been photographed in his bucket since the day/week we brought him home from the hospital. I've been itching from the day he started sitting up to throw him in a field in it as well..  Mother Nature has had other plans lately, but I am glad I finally got to share these with you!I am offering a very limited number of sessions to local and mitten mommie's for their littles too!!      For more info on those sessions be sure to check out my photography blog!

I'm not sure where I'd be without my "assistant" Emma!

Recently, Weston's Nursery was chosen to be embellished with one of Sweetie & Roo's personalized
art pieces!

Now that our little guy is over a year old, the itch is happening for me to start changing out pieces in his adorable nursery!

When I first found out I was pregnant, we found one piece and centered the entire nursery around it.

Our theme is vintage travel (currently) + you can view and read all about the details of most of it here : Weston's Nursery | as seen on PINTEREST

Sweet & Roo makes customized art pieces in a variety of different themes and Lindsay could probably design up anything your heart and mind could imagine.

Our particular piece has W's name + birthdate flying off of a soaring plane.

If you're looking for art to display in your home or even searching for a personalized gift, Sweetie & Roo is the place to go :)

Fun | Oklahoma Style

Over the holiday weekend, we attended a small town Rattlesnake festival. 

It was here you could by skins, cooked snakes & even pet the not-so-friendly beasts.

Mostly, we went for the (good) food & rides!

We've became great friends with Emma's BBF @ School & their family.. so there was a nice group of us - pushing babies around & enjoying the sites!

 - I remember these rides as a kid & how "cool" they were!

I feel so fortunate I could capture these memories for E to have in the future - wherever that may be!

| i. love. them |

W was such a trooper - although the screeching rides got to him at the end!

(I stole this shot from you ASG)

I cannot WAIT to go to the Texas State Fair!

Come Fly With Me

Weston's Nursery has been a work in progress for almost a year,

 before we were expecting him, 

before we moved across the country, 

before we knew he - was a him.

We wanted something different, something that wasn't sports, or princesses, 

or pink or blue.. 

a room that wasn't a typical nursery, 

because we're not entirely into all the cute-sie baby colors or decor.

With that in mind, we chose a Travel Theme & found this canvas map of the United States 

with colors we loved & started collecting pieces to match it.

The chalk board above was an antique mirror originally purchased for Emma's vanity,

once it broke, we de-mirror'd it and painted it to coordinate with the nursery.

With the map's color scheme we matched paint for the 

dresser and found accessories in stores, 

at antique malls & estate sales across the country.

Before I ever got a positive, 

I also began collecting cloth diapers in every brand imaginable.

(more on those later)

We've never painted as much in our lives as we did preparing this nursery;

 the dresser, the crib, plane mobile, (soon to be) monogram'd canvases & the name letters!

Weston's Mobile was created by hanging vintage toy planes (painted to match the nursery) 

with clear fishing line to embroidery hoops & then stringing them from tiny hooks in the ceiling.. 

::the vintage baby scale came all the way from Brooklyn,NY::

I wanted giant (even bigger than here) letters for his room,

 but with a lack of wall space these were the biggest I could have.

 These were hand painted, then hung together with ribbon 

& eventually attached to the ceiling with a hook.

I chose this vertical configuration vs a standard horizontal wall decoration 

to brighten up a corner and save space for other prints!

Painting these letters was a total labor of love.

I scored this lamp on a clearance at Target, it couldn't have fit more perfectly!

The wooden camera can be found on Etsy & Vintage Kodak is part of my personal collection :)

{sweet W looks SO much like daddy there}

We collected prints from all over as well

 and think these are some great rules to live by for all gentlemen, 

regardless of age!

Weston's Nursery will always be a work in progress, I envision it morphing from a Vintage Travel to a Vintage Circus theme over the next few years as well.. who doesn't love circus tents & hot air balloons?
