February with Evangeline | Long Beach family photographer

03/12/2018 No Comments

I am just going to be perfectly honest here and say that February sucked. To be truly honest, 2018 has SUCKED so hard. Evangeline has been sick non stop since the year started. February was supposed to be fun. Grandma came for two weeks and we took her to Disneyland. I barely have any Disneyland photos because she was sick there too 🙁 We actually went straight from Disneyland to Urgent Care. Not fun times. February also means finding out Evangeline and I both have celiac disease. Huge lifestyle changes have been put into order and we are adjusting and […]

December with Evangeline | Long Beach family photographer

Christmas! It was so fun this year because she completely understood what was happening. She was so excited for Santa to come. Seeing her face discovering her presents was priceless. In December we also visited the Happy Place & the San Diego Zoo!

October with Evangeline | Long Beach family photographer

October = Halloween!! I was so excited to see our babe trick or treat for the first time. She had so much fun! It took a few houses to get the hang of it, she even tried to go inside one! Haha. She was Belle from Beauty & the Beast. I love that she’s into Disney movies now. Kids are so fun! My mom “grammy” is also here visiting!

July was fun! We got that awesome cactus tapestry from Urban Outfitters which makes such a rad background for photos. We celebrated 4th of July at the bay in Belmont Shore. Our dear friends from Australia came to stay with us and Evangeline was, and still is, OBSESSED with their baby Ruby. For my birthday, we kept our tradition and went to Catalina!

So many photos for May! I am already a bit nervous about making her next baby book. I spent an embarrassing amount of money on her year one book. I almost think I might have more photos for year two. Scared. May is huge. May is the month Evangeline became potty trained! She was a total rock star about the entire thing and is now rocking panties. Pretty impressed our 20 month old (now 21 months) is potty trained! My mom and aunt came to visit us in May. We also got to go to Temecula on Mother’s Day to […]

April | Long Beach baby photographer

05/02/2017 No Comments

April started off with finding more wildflowers and trying to take photos of the girls. If you missed their Easter shoot, you should check it out! We played a lot outside. Mostly naked. Haha. I have decided all her meals should be eaten naked outside. Way easier clean up! Evangeline also got her first baby doll. I expect May’s blog post will have tons of photos with her and “babies,” but all I have for April is her sound asleep with him. Or is babies a her? I can’t tell!

So many photos for February! Evangeline’s dedushka was with us most of February and she loves having him here. He left a few days ago and she keeps asking for Ded. She helped her papa build our beautiful deck, we went to the aquarium each week, played in the pool, picked lemons and ate them, and our newest weekend tradition is the petting zoo right by our house! She loves to feed all the animals and sasses those goats around like she is their boss hahaha.

January starts off with Ded Moroz coming! Ded Moroz translates to Father Frost and he is Evangeline’s Russian Santa. She was super excited about her boston terrier purse and gorgeous handmade dolls. In January she rocked the mullet for a long time before I couldn’t take anymore and our friend cut it for us.

November | Long Beach baby photographer

November was so insanely busy for me doing client shoots, that I barely picked up my camera for Evangeline. Now I feel guilty. I have tons of iphone photos which are posted daily on my instagram, but I guess I need to get out my big camera more! She has been using her potty since 13 months! She goes whenever we put her on it. It’s pretty amazing.
