over the weekend we got to spend time with tim, kesh and their darling baby roo (who, once you consider the time difference in australia where they live and all, was born just a few hours after samson). let me tell you, it was one fun, food-filled weekend! (with beautiful photographs to prove it because tim is made of pure talent.)
one of my favorite things about the blogging community are the long lasting friendships we have made online with so many. and what’s even better is when those online friendships are finally brought to life by meeting that friend in person: someone you have admired from afar, who has inspired and encouraged you, or taught you so much with their words and stories and photographs. someone half way around the world, even. this blogging world is pretty rad sometimes.
anyway, that is what saturday felt like. spending the day showing friends from the internet our favorite city in all the world and feeling like we were old friends the entire time. feeling like you can share your dreams or frustrations about life with them and they are listening. talking all things baby and children and not feeling judged. eating your third gluttonous meal of the day before 2 o’clock with friends who are happy to do the same! i guess what i am trying to say is, saturday was awesome.
tim is also one of my favorite photographers. and he was so kind to whip out his camera and document our family in the city together. this meant so much to us because we don’t have any photos of the four of us besides that time i forced my friend julie who was visiting from dc last december to take one of us while we were standing on the street (it’s the one you see on my sidebar. thank you, julie!) these photos are also extra special to me because they capture us as a family of four here in new york city. this city feels like home- it’s where it all started… and who knows what will happen over the years to come, but it’s where we sometimes imagine we’ll be in the long run, too.
many more photos to come… because i love literally every photo tim took. and also, it’s my blog and stuff. ;) thank you, tim! we love you guys.
all photos by tim coulson.
love your scarf. where is it from?
oh my gosh, all of these photos are SO fantastic. such a beautiful little family you have :)
Wow these are incredible, your family is so sweet & you and your husband seem so in love! Loving your outfit :)

beautiful photos! i love how you never seem to be afraid of using a lot of color – in your outfits, home, ect. so pretty!
Hands down the cutest family pics I have ever laid my eyes on. Please, please share more!!
*sigh* you have such a lovely life. ;) these pictures are beautiful, Naomi.
Beautiful work on the creation of the Davis family, and kudos to Tim for documenting the four of you so well! I am thoroughly impressed with his portrait captures.
this is amazing and beautiful.

You guys are simply adorable.
I LOVE the bright spring colors you’re all wearing! Despite the snow hats and scarves it makes me feel like sunny weather is right around the corner:)
I’ve being following your little blog now for around 6 months (One of your photos popped up on instagram one day and led me here).
This blog and your family are truly adorable, delightful, inspiring and so many other pretty words could be applied.
Today I clicked on the link to the wonderfully talented Tim’s page and fell in love with his work (That now makes two blogs I will check on the regular :) thanks!)
While admiring his storytelling through photographs and thinking how lovely it is he is a fellow Australian… I then discovered he grew up on the beaches where I did and still live on the Central Coast.
Sometime such a large world can feel so small :)
Your hair looks gorgeous in these pics Naomi, love it.

Your skirt is perfect! It reminds me of a Barbie dress I had when I was a child (and was obsessed with)! These pictures and your family are beautiful!
LOVE these pictures! You have such a beautiful family. Sounds like you all had such a wonderful weekend!

These are beautiful! The black and white one of you posing with Josh and the stroller in front of you is amazing! Thanks for sharing !
Samson looks CHEEKY. He had many cute shots before, but that one with his big smile is by far the best.
So beautiful. That’s all.
Amazing photo’s, I can see why your so in love with them all. I need to find myself some photo savy friends, I always hate when I get back from beautiful places and there are never any pictures of myself other then the stretch-the-arm-out kind.

You are a perfect family…so beautiful photos!!
please show us the real parenting stuff,like you use to.Not the fluffy stuff that makes us feel useless for not being a gorgeous family,living in NY..there lots of people that love you all.Most of us don’t have this life..No offence intended and I am sorry if I offend you,but please keep it real..eeek even typing that I feel mean,I’m not intending that.
it is never my intention to make anyone feel useless while reading my blog! none of us have the same life but hopefully we can be inspired by bits and pieces of others lives’ and better our own…at least that is what i try to get out of other people’s posts i read. personally, i like to focus on the good, on what i love in life, and what makes us happy. i do keep it real by sharing my struggles and frustrations from time to time, but i try to not focus on the negative stuff too much. it’s just not my style.
Great photos, nice to see pictures of all four of you!

Your family is perfect! Such wonderful pictures!
Hi Naomi,
I noticed that you have Samson’s Patagonia puff suit as a bunting while he’s in the swing – My daughter, Charlotte, has the same suit and the bottom can be worn as legs as well so they’re all covered up in swings & seats. Just a little FYI.
LPW
thanks! samson’s suit barely fits him now when the legs are zipped up separately (growth spurt) so we just unzip the bunting and let it hang like a long coat when he’s in the swings!
Love these photos. Absolutely gorgeous! I wonder where that playground with those swingy things is?

it’s at west 4th street!
You have a beautiful family, I love your pictures :)

I think people forget that being happy and enjoying life is being “real” too. Isn’t life filled with both happiness & frustration, good times & bad? the positive is just as real and important as the hard stuff. The reason I come to your blog is to be reminded of the good. Thank you for being wiling to share your happiness.
Aww what beautiful pictures!! So happy you had a great weekend! and now you have great memories to remind you

Wonderful post. You have a beautiful family. Did you know that a photo of you and Josh is on a television advert for special occasion cards here in the UK?
Hi Naomi! Your family is beautiful and it is my guilty pleasure to follow your blog :) These days, I am finding myself utterly impressed at how much you get out with 2 babies! I have a precious 3.5 month old and I find it nearly impossible to go out to eat with my hubby or visit a friend without messing up her whole day. If I do it anyway, I find myself awkwardly nursing in the car in the corner of some parking lot or just have a seriously fussy baby on my hands. Any tips for making successful outings without torturing my daughter are greatly appreciated!

So cute! Seriously.

Hello, Love your blog and pictures, makes me think that I can manage a second baby :) I live in Costa Rica planning to go to Europe in may and New York for fall, so I’m looking for the best gear, we are taking our 1 year old, I read your posts from Italy but was wondering where is E’s coat from and her glasses?
Thanks in advance for your response, and maybe you could do some posts on clothing? We all wonder were all your stuff is from, great taste!!!
Good vibes! From Costa Rica!
Wonderful photos! :) I especially love the black and white of Eleanor (second to last).
And since I think this every time I read your blog… you have the cutest, smiley-est babies I’ve ever seen! Other than my own nieces and nephews, of course. :)
I .m so on love with your scarf i dreamt about it !
Please where os it from ?
By the way we love your blog here on France !!

Such cute photos Naomi… Can I please ask where did you get the sunglasses in this post please…please… :)

Where in the world is your scarf from? It’s lovely and really pops in these gorgeous family pics!
samson in the patagonia baby sack is absolutely precious.

xo the egg out west.
Okay I’m OBSESSED with these photos!! I love the feel and look of a candid lifestyle shoot. I”ve been wanting to do one for some time with my little fam, but I feel like it won’t look natural enough. It’s so hard not to pose or look dumb when someone’s documenting you’re every move. But you do it so effortlessly! Beautiful family. Lucky you are
Oh yay! Tim, Kesh and Roo are just awesomesauce – as are these photos! He just has an amazing gift, doesn’t he?! xx
I’ve been reading your blog for years. My first thought when I saw this post was, “Ohhh, she finally replaced her red cowboy boots! Yay!” It was at that moment I decided that maybe, MAYBE, I need to lay off the internet a bit. :)
Thank you for creating such a happy little corner of the Internet. It’s a nice place to stop by every now and then…quiet and lovely and happy. Best wishes -S
AMAZING Pictures. Really amazingly glowing and glorious.
Guys you are really the shiniest family ever. BEAUTIFULLY HAPPY.
thanks for sharing those intimate life moments!!
You make the most simple week-end looking completely out of this world!

oh that Tim Coulson, he has one wild talent! It’s funny that he takes that golden (australian to me) light with him where ever he goes!
Such a thrill to see his work here, on your uber blog. But i’ve always called him Uber Tim, so i suppose it’s PERFECT! :)
xo em
Love your skirt and that you are brave enough to wear it in winter in New York!
These pictures are fantastic. The one of you both pushing the stroller in black and white reminds me on an older photo I would have seen of my parents from back in the day! So sweet. Your family looks full of love in every picture!
