    Kaiser’s Newborn Photos + Postpartum Must-Haves

    Hi, y’all! We’ve officially had Kaiser home for over a month and talk about a whirlwind. There have been so many transitions, memories mad and photos taken (🤣 I can’t even tell you how many I have of him sleeping). Here’s how the Kaase fam has been adjusting, postpartum items that saved me and Kaiser’s newborn photos!

Another year of aging for me seems… insignificant in comparison to the year Emmett just grew through.

    Hi there! It’s my birthday (hey 27, how you doin?!) today and Mandi gave me the best gift over the weekend – EMMETT’S SANTA PICS! Emmett wasn’t in love with Santa but I still think these pictures are the sweetest. If you’re ready for your heart strings to be tugged, scroll on down! You can view Mandi’s photography website here. EMMETT’S OUTFIT: Mistletoe Onesie || Baby Bow As you can see, Mandi is fantastic at what she does. I seriously don’t understand how she makes the magic happen but somehow she does! She makes everyone comfortable during the shoot, snaps pictures quick and edits them in a way that makes…
