Melrose Day In The Life Family Session | Mom + Daughter Cupcake Adventure

These two are such an amazing duo brimming with love. I had an amazing day with this mom and daughter at their home in Melrose capturing their little antics and sweet moments together! Little Ruby did impromptu gymnastics and showed off her treasured makeup kits for me, and she and her mom Christine baked cupcakes and tramped around in their snowshoes before everyone's fingers got too numb from the cold.

The icing on the cupcake (haha) was when Christine and I discovered we both have strong ties to Blacksburg VA (my hometown) and Virginia Tech! It's a small world. Christine is also a big proponent of living organically, eliminating toxins in the home, and health in general, so we had lots of great things to chat about since we have that in common. She even made her own totally organic cupcake icing before I came over!

Much fun was had on this day, that's for sure! Enjoy!

Woodstoves make me nostalgic. I don't think I have seen one since I moved to Massachusetts from Virginia a few years ago!

The best part: licking the spatula, and the sugar coma following soon after.
