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. […]
Evangeline week fifty | Long Beach baby photographer
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 […]
S family | Orange County family photographer
I got to go to the Orange County Fair to take photos of the S family. It was even more fun because they are my friends! I met Stephanie in Parent & Me swim class and we became friends. They wanted to do family photos at the fair with their darling Luke, because they took their engagement photos here. How special!
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 […]
Marina | Long Beach senior portrait photographer
Marina was my first official Long Beach shoot after moving here two weeks ago. We met at Bluff Park in Long Beach and did her photos there. The light was perfect and the beach was not crowded at all. I can get used to free, ample parking!
Pink or Blue? | Los Angeles party photographer
Loved this gender reveal party so much! The decorations were perfect and I loved how no one at the party knew the sex of the baby. Not even the parents! That made it even more fun when they started to blow up their balloons. I actually got chills all over when I saw the pink balloon continuing to fill with air and the blue ones deflated. So exciting!
Evangeline week forty eight | Long Beach baby photographer
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.
Paige | Los Angeles newborn photographer
Newborn baby Paige was one week old when we did her session. What a sweet little sleepy babe she was.
Evangeline week forty seven | Long Beach baby photographer
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!
Julia | Los Angeles newborn photographer
I loved this newborn session so much! Watching big sister hold baby sister for first time, the cuddles on the bed, their dog! Everything was perfect.
