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.
I went to Seal Beach to photograph this darling family. Kainoa turns one in November so these were family photos plus birthday and cake smash photos! He has a cowboys and Indians theme for his birthday so he had two of the cutest outfit changes ever. His parents even made his teepee and headdress.
I absolutely loved hanging out with this family and photographing their one year old baby Elizabeth. She is such a little doll and still looks like such a baby!! Unlike someone I know. (cry) Just look at her face when she is walking to her daddy! So precious. Loved the way she looked right into my lens. Those looks she gave me haha. Also her dimple! She’s even darling when she starts to cry.
Since I am no longer doing Evangeline’s 52 week project, (cry) I can at least do monthly blog posts of her.
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. […]
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 […]
