Gender Reveal

Remember this gender reveal from over a year ago (full blog post here)???

Well....they are having another baby!!!  They announced it at their daughters first birthday party back in August by putting her in this cute shirt....

Well, they found out last week what the gender of their 2nd baby is & Ashley came up with this cute way to reveal it....

They are having a baby boy!!! So exciting!!!

Sweet Shoppe Birthday Party

I love photographing this family!
They always throw the best parties, like this one to celebrate Ashley's 18th birthday.

We even got to see their dear family friend, Raelynn (Yes, from The Voice!!), perform a live show for Ashley. Amazing.

To be honest, I did lose self control at the Sweet Shoppe more than once that night

This party was a blast!

Hello!
Now here's a looker for you:

 This chick is so fun and creative (and don't forget hil-ar-ious!).
So here's a mix of the Autumn and Spring sessions we had together!

 Can we talk about that Spring ombre hair? Amazing.
                                   

Ahh! That coat is dreamy! 

We had a blast as always!

(yes, this was co-written by Tessa. Ha!)

*Hey! This is Tessa and I am a helper and assistant for Aimee! Yes, it's true. I get to work with a true photography genius. It's amazing and I can't wait to fully introduce myself in a later post!

Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread

I am so excited to share this delicious and healthy recipe with you!  This recipe is from the December 2012's Delicious Living Magazine.  I have found that most gluten free bread recipes are on the dry side, this one is moist and oh so yummy!  You should try it even if you don't need to eat gluten free!

The recipe calls for 3/4 cup of sugar, but I used maple sugar instead to make it a little healthier. Also, I didn't have baking soda, so I used 2 times the amount of baking powder.  This recipe is exactly how I made it.
Here is what you need...

4 cups of almond meal

3/4 cup of maple sugar

2 teaspoons of baking powder

1/2 teaspoon of salt
3 eggs
1/4 cup of grapeseed oil
1 cup of organic pumpkin
1 teaspoon of pumpkin spice
1/4 cup of chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Coat a 4x8 loaf pan with butter
In a large bowl, combine almond meal, sugar, baking powder and salt.

In a medium bowl, whisk eggs with oil and then add pumpkin and spices.

Add wet ingredients to dry and mix well

Pour into loaf pan, top with chopped pecans and bake for 40 to 50 minutes...until top feels firm.  

Wrap leftovers in foil and store in the refrigerator.

We warmed up our leftovers in the oven with a little butter and it was AMAZING!!!  

Enjoy!
