We finally did it! After what felt like the LONGEST house build in history, we finally moved into our new home. We are about 95% complete – but couldn’t wait any longer to move in! You’ll notice some unfinished spaces, like our fireplace mantle (which has yet to be delivered.) Now that our home is almost finished, I can’t wait to start incorporating a lot more HOME content for you guys! Designing interior spaces is one of my favorite things to do and I’m so excited to share each and every room with you! This will be my last House Update – next up, Room Reveals!
The photo below was my attempt to recreate a photo we took shortly after our house was framed (see here!) – Jackson decided to join this one…
One of my favorite things about blogging is documenting my life – not just for my followers, but for me. If I wasn’t blogging, I would never would have documented our house building journey like I have (all my house update posts are linked below!) Life goes by fast and things change so quickly. One thing I’ve learned is to slow down and take time to capture the special moments in life. We were lucky enough to have our cousin Allissa come take these photos of us in our new home, the weekend we moved in.
Al Williams Photography
Allissa “Al” is a local photographer covering all of New England. She specializes in photographing not only milestones, but the ordinary, every-day moments in life. The real-life moments…like when you’re barefoot in jeans and tee, laughing with each other while your dog jumps all over you for attention. The simple but special moments you may have otherwise forgot 10 years down the road. James and I put everything into building this home and were so incredibly excited on this day. Allissa captured that feeling perfectly in these photos and we will cherish them forever. Shooting with Allissa felt comfortable and natural. She got some great family shots, but nothing felt posed. No fancy backdrops or props – just candids of us being us, in our beautiful new home. It was exactly what we wanted. We can’t wait to have her back!
Allissa is located in Northborough Massachusetts but will travel throughout New England to work with you! You can contact her at https://alwilliamsphotography.com and follow her on Instagram at @alwilliamsphotography. Be sure to check out her new “A Day In The Life” section where she’ll be offering video content soon!
Allissa photographed all the rooms in the house before we moved in. I’ll be sharing more of those photos in the next couple weeks!
