Just 10 days later and there’s already a part 2?! Either we go to the store too much, or this is my life calling.

What is it about babies in shopping carts that is so dang cute? I seem to think it’s the most adorable thing ever by the amount of photos I’ve taken of Rooney.
I think my favorite photo is her first-ever ride when she was 6 months old (she was so proud!), but that last one is a gem, too!



About a year ago, we started a Facebook page called Williams & Williams. I was learning a lot about photography and thought it might be possible to start making a little extra money on the side by taking photos of family and friends. It started slow, which was good for us because we are clearly not professionals and were just learning the ropes.
Our friend Joa designed some pretty sweet branding for us, and with a little bit of thought and time, we had a part-time small business up and running.
It was a fun project for us to work on together, but as time went on, and as soon as Rooney was born, we had a different perspective. It seemed to be taking a lot of time, effort and energy, as most start-up businesses do. It wasn’t that we were afraid of the work, it was that the work itself wasn’t what we wanted to spend our time on. Family time became increasingly more important, and it’s pretty difficult to be flexible with your time when you have a baby and already feel that you don’t get to spend enough time together as a family.
