like pretty much 99% of the world, my girls are completely 'frozen' crazy. since it came out last november, our home has been filled with constant singing and pretending. and all they wanted for christmas was "frozen stuff." when we headed to the snow earlier this year, they insisted on bringing their costumes and taking pictures. (of course i said yes!) a few months ago, charlotte started telling me she wanted a 'frozen'

today my daughter turned six years old. to say that i can't believe it would be the understatement of the year. she still feels like my baby girl, and yet... she is growing up. and oh, how i love the girl she is growing up to be. this has been a big year for isabella. she started kindergarten and is already learning to read. i love to watch her try to read, and the jubilation

this year for halloween, jackson, isabella + charlotte transformed into peter pan, wendy, and tinker bell. we spent a lovely evening playing together in neverland.... (in case this is your first time checking out bachmanville photography, these are definitely different than my photographs normally look, but we wanted them to look dreamy and 'neverlandy' :) ) and here is last year's superhero halloween session in case you need more costume cuteness

three weeks ago, my little boy lost his top tooth. he was ecstatic. i totally cried (i mean.... he looked so big!) his other top tooth has been very loose too, so we knew it was just a matter of time. today i picked him up from second grade to see his tooth BACKWARDS in his mouth. no joke. backwards. hanging by a thread. (i'm not going to lie. it was gross) we drove over to

this is {officially} one of my favorite families. ever. jr and i have been friends since elementary school, and i think of her more as a sister than a friend. we may not be related by blood, but in my heart, these guys are family. lovely little adeline (addy) just turned five and loves my little ponies and dancing. my children adore her. griffin just turned two and slays me with the little twinkle of

a few weeks ago, our family gathered for a huge family reunion. it was so fun getting to see cousins, aunts, and uncles that we don't see very often. my favorite thing was having my 'little' brother and his family come down for the week. little macie had never been to the beach before, so we had a fun morning capturing her exploring the sand, avoiding the waves, and chasing the birds. and to
