The last time Faren and I wore matching outfits and prepped our smizes for a photoshoot, she was just about 4 month old. Since then, this little firecracker has blossomed and bloomed in the most beautiful ways.

I was mindlessly scrolling through Instagram one January night, when one of my fave IG fashionistas posted a photo that made me want to devour more of her content. So I clicked on her profile and got my life through her outfits. But the one that caught my eye was of her and her daughter wearing these bright pink and orange dresses and I instantly knew I wanted them for Faren and I.

I quickly searched the tags and found the company and, girl, let’s just say it was a three minute turnaround between add to cart, inputting my shipping information and me getting that confirmation email. I purchased those dresses on the spot!

With Faren’s birthday just three months away, I knew they would be perfect for an updated mommy and me birthday and pre-Easter photoshoot! And I was right!

The dresses were absolute heaven and fit perfectly. I paired mine with these fiery orange feathered stilettos and Faren, well…she went bare feet! She was so good on this photoshoot and bared her best grin and poses for the camera, and I didn’t even have to brag her with snack! Now that’s what you call a mommy win!

And even though hubby was the photographer, as he is on all of our shoots, he even jumped in on the fun!

I absolutely love how our looks and photos turned out and, yes, these mommy and me birthday photoshoots will forever be a thing with us. Here comes, more matching dresses, more smiles and more memories!
