April with Evangeline & Goldie | Long Beach family photographer

April! My baby is one! I can’t believe it. The first year with Evangeline seemed way longer than the year we just had with Goldie. I guess because you’re so busy with your first babe, time just flies by! Goldie celebrated her birthday at the Hyatt in Newport beach with a water slide pool! Her favorite activity was the hot tub. We took her down the waterslide a bunch too. Such a fun birthday celebration with close friends. We did the same thing for Evangeline’s birthday and I highly recommend it!

December with Evangeline & Goldie | Long Beach family photographer

I took a lot of photos in December! I felt like I waited all month for the girls to get their Christmas presents. It was so fun seeing them on Christmas day enjoying their presents. Goldie is now eight months old!

This is such a bittersweet post! I can’t believe I have a walking one year old now! Yes, Evangeline took her first steps on her birthday! It was amazing enough she walked on her actual birthday, but she did it right after my husband came home from work and we were both in the same room. It was like she was waiting to show us! For her birthday we surprised her with a fort for her room! The next day we headed to Northern California to hang out with family and have her 1st birthday party. Her party photos I […]

Our baby girl Evangeline is one year old today! I am so glad I did this project with her. It’s amazing to see how much she changed every week. The one photo where she isn’t on the map blanket is from when we were in Australia. She also never wore the same outfit twice!

I never want to forget the way she whined every single morning before swim class. Pulling at my dress and having “roll abouts.” I never want to forget the way she passed out on her own before swim class and we ended up missing class that day. Sleep is more important than swimming. I never want to forget the way she hands us books to read to her with that shoulder shrug. I never want to forget her pebbles hair. I never want to forget her mean girl Russian face that stops both of us in our tracks in fear. […]

This is the week of passionate kisses and cuddles. She loves to wrap her arms around my neck and passionately kiss me. She loves to say “hiiii baby!” She has been sleeping on her twin mattress this week. When she wakes up and cries, I go into her room and lay on her bed. She shockingly doesn’t try and nurse, she just wants me to hold her. It’s seriously the sweetest thing I’ve ever experienced in my life. The first night on her mattress she slept till 4am but the last few nights she wakes often and we end up […]

Evangeline week forty nine | Long Beach baby photographer

Evangeline loves having her own room! I caught her in a hilarious game of peekaboo with the neighbor. I think she has a crush. I had a family shoot at the Orange County Fair this week and she got to come with and look at all the people and animals. She had ice cream and took photos in the photobooth with mama and papa. She also got her second cold ever this week. I thought we would make it to one year with only being sick once, but my aunt came to see our house and brought a cold along […]

Evangeline has been walking all over with her walker. She isn’t walking unassisted yet, but we think she is close! Week forty eight has been the week of tantrums. When this girl hears “no!” Watch out! The good news is she has been sleeping in her own room every night. Last night she slept from 9pm-8am without waking! The new goal is to get her to nap on her own in her crib instead of on top of me which is happening right now.

We thought before we ever got pregnant that we would be moved out of our Santa Monica beach house. Forty seven weeks old and Evangeline now has her own room! It was a bittersweet move. We were dating, engaged, married, and brought our first baby home to that house. Two of our sweet dogs passed away in that house as well. We look forward to all the new memories we are going to make in our new house in Long Beach. I am now servicing Long Beach, South Bay, & Orange County!

These weekly unicorn photos are getting so hard! I have to be SO fast and I pretty much take two photos. It was my birthday last week and we did our yearly birthday tradition of going to Catalina! Catalina is a magical place for us, that is where my husband proposed to me three years ago on my birthday. I wish we would have gone last year, but I was way too pregnant and too hot. We put the camera on self timer each year, and take a photo in the spot he proposed at, which is the dome in […]
