My Family

After a busy summer we headed back to our little Casita in Guerrero. We have been having so much fun surfing and living the simple life. The kids were excited to reunite with their friends. I’m excited to have a little photography work to do here! I’m hoping to book more sessions and weddings. If…

Dear baby Eva, You are TEN YEARS OLD! Two hands. Double digits. It is truly crazy how fast time passes as a parent. It seems like yesterday I was carrying you around on my back wherever we’d go. Writing down every detail in this little blog of mine. Now you’re so tall and grown and…

We are so stoked to be back in Kauai. Yesterday evening we had a gorgeous sunset, with all the orangy and purply colors. Damian surfed some by the pier, Eva worked on her sandcastles, Elijah pushed his truck around, and Ariela danced and twirled while I photographed a nice family visiting from Wisconsin and Colorado.…

Dear Baby Elijah, You are TWO years old now! You are super talkative and love to dance! You love all things boy- firetrucks, balls, tractors, etc. It’s so silly to me how serious you are about these things! We celebrated your second birthday at Palmito Ranch with Papo. You had fun running around, watching the…

Dear Ariela, Today you’re 4 YEARS OLD! I looked at you this morning before I woke you up with your birthday song and realized how much you’ve grown. You’re so LONG! And you’re so pretty. I think you look like your mama, but maybe I’m biased. 😉 You are much, much braver than I, though!…

Damian Julio, You are SEVEN years old! You such a BIG boy now!!! You love riding your bike, adventuring, exploring, and playing video games. You are SO smart! You read and learn well beyond your years. You love checking out all the critters, especially underwater with your goggles. You’re always wanting to pick up and…

Dear Eva, I can’t believe it’s your last year of single-digit numbers! 9 YEARS OLD! It warms my heart to think of what a beautiful young lady you are becoming. You are such a thoughtful and helpful big sister. You feel what others are feeling, and are so emotionally aware of everything. You are my…

Dear Elijah, You are now 11 months old! You are getting SOOO long and you now have two front teeth on the bottom. You can say “hua-ca”(calling Rasca, your dog), and “dat” (that). You can stand on your own for a few seconds and I think you’ll be walking any day now! You love to…

Dear Ariela, Welcome to three- one of the best ages for sure. Really, though, you’ve seemed “three” for a while now! You are SUPER smart and talk NONSTOP about anything and everything. If you’re not talking, you’re singing. I just love hearing your voice. You still love playing with baby dolls are you’re very imaginative!…

Dear Elijah, You are 10 months old! The highlight of this month has been breaking your first tooth! You now have a little chomper on the bottom. You had a pretty rough time of it, though. It seemed to coincide with a four-day-long fever of 102! 🙁 Just when we called the doctor, your fever…
