...when mom is a photographer you start practicing your cheesy camera smile young 😂😁 Technically still on maternity leave but trying to get some 2019 business planning done. Let’s just say I get distracted often with this cutie at my side all day 😂😍
At 2:09am on January 4th, we welcomed our baby girl, Tommie Vivien Rotella to our wolf pack and she is perfect. I can't believe I get to be her mama. The last week and a half has been an incredible blur and we have been spending it at home, soaking in this time and our new life as a family of 3 (+ 1 wolf). I can't even begin to express how incredible Jon is at being a dad. Looking back a year, it's weird to admit that we didn't know if we wanted to have kids. Over the last 8+ years of marriage, we were asked countless times "Are you going to have kids?" to which our response was always a mixed bag of "I don't knows" and "undecided" responses (let's be real, the answer "yes" carried WAY too much responsibility and we didn't want to admit we were terrified of it). Making the decision in your mid-to-late-thirties to bring a tiny human into the world isn't an easy one to make. Could we handle it? Are we ready? Aren't we still kids ourselves? What if we fuck it up?! It's amazing how those questions have changed in the last week since meeting her. Our "I don't knows" have transformed quickly into "We can't waits." We can't wait to teach her how to tackle life with grace. We can't wait to watch her explore the world around her. We can't wait to see her experience joy and heartbreak alike. We can't wait to see who she grows up to be. Special thanks to one of my oldest friends, Samantha Martin Photography for capturing Tommie's first few hours in this world. Tommie, we are so, so happy you are finally here.
M E R R Y  C H R I S T M A S !!! ❄️ We hope Santa was good to everyone - nothing better to start today than with some Christmas SPARKLES! 😍💍
Each year we look forward to the Christmas-themed cocktails and quality time with family and friends over the holidays. With Baby Rotella on the way (anytime now), I am making the most of my non-alcoholic options. Fancified hot chocolate for the win! What is your favorite holiday-themed drink!?
2018 client galleries sent ✔️ Christmas cards mailed ✔️ Holiday tunes on blast ✔️ It’s finally time to kick back and get festive! How is everyone else spending their Saturday before Christmas today? Anyone else on sugar cookie duty?!
So, I am legit still wondering where June went, ya’all. ❄️ How are we possibly in the last two weeks of 2018?! This year has FLOWN by for us with changes in both our personal and business lives. We have been meaning to share some of our good news for months and time just slipped away from us! Now the holidays are upon us and we are almost outta time! ❄️ This year has brought us some of the best clients and friends we could ever ask for. It also threw us for a loop this fall when we sold our house unexpectedly and moved in 5 weeks! ❄️ Things have been SO busy that we even managed to let THIS huge announcement slip from our schedules. We couldn’t be more thrilled to share that we will be welcoming Baby Rotella in just a few short weeks! ❄️ Stay tuned to meet Baby Rotella and to be the first to hear about our new and exciting business updates coming in 2019!!! ❄️ Much Love, Mandy & Jon (And Grr, obviously 😜)
