Unbelievably, my Addison is one. I spent several months picking up props and building on the idea of what the session would look like. I was able to find the chevron blanket at a local thrift store, and the ideas just grew from there. Being my own child, I was happy to have several days […]

Easter 2013 | Vista Children’s Lifestyle Photographer
As the kids get older, each year seems to be more fun than the last. After changing to a Paleo diet lifestyle last year, we decided on no candy, but you never would have known. The kids got fruit leathers and new helmets for their tricycles, and did not feel deprived of anything, as I […]
Addison is Nine Months | My Story
Addison is nine months now, actually, nearly ten, if you want to get technical 🙂 She is working hard on that first tooth, and we’re all feeling it. I was happy to see her perk up for the first time in a few days <3 Some of my favorite moments with my littles are the […]
Birthdays and Cupcakes | My Story
Today was Kadence’s third birthday! Her big day lies awfully close to Christmas, and she’s received everything a little girl could ever hope for, besides a pony, perhaps. (Her grandpa did get a fluffy, new puppy though. That’s the next best thing! You can meet Tucker, here) So what do you get a little girl […]
Tucker the Pup | Vista Photographer
 Meet Tucker! He’s an Australian Shepherd, and is so smart already. Tucker was my dad’s early Christmas, and reminds me so much of our Aussie growing up. My favorite is his blue eye. He was so sleepy during our little “session” and was working all the right poses. Love ya already, Tuck! […]

Evil Baby Glare Off
A few weeks ago, I went for a drive with my three Littles. All were due for a nap, but were going through a rough time from that hard stage of needing naps, but not sleeping well once night arrived if they had one. So, to a magical drive we went, Josh, with a hotwheels, […]

Addison’s Arrival | My Birth Story
This is my story. Prodromal labor. I first heard of it about one month ago. I first experienced it four years ago. Loosely defined, it’s  “a start and stop labor,” that doesn’t go by the books. It’s not false labor! The body is truly doing something, but is not always seen as textbook cervical progression […]

Addison’s Three Month Session | My Story
“So let them be little, ‘Cause they’re only that way for a while. Give ’em hope, give them praise, Give them love every day. Let ’em cry, let ’em giggle, Let ’em sleep in the middle, Oh, but let them be little. “ […]
