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 Damian, Today you turned six years old! You’re an adventurous little boy, and you’re always looking for things to climb or jump from. You love boogie boarding on the shore break where the waves slam into the sand. You notice every bug or critter and you’re always trying to touch or hold them, despite…
A portrait-a-week of my kids in 2020: The kids are back at school this week but we still found plenty of time for fun. The beach was gorgeous this past Sunday- one of those hot Texas days in the middle of winter where the sun just feels extra good. We have definitely been feeling beach…

The best part about these days is all the time I get to spend with my family. After a summer packed full of daily photo sessions and editing marathons, I can finally spend some stress-free quality time with my loves. It might be a little difficult to move around as much right now, but just…
I am officially two days past my due date! If I don’t have the baby today it will be the longest I’ve ever been pregnant. Today we took a drive up the road and visited Haena Point for the first time since they built the new parking lot and started requiring permits and stuff. It…
Happy due date to me! I have officially wrapped up all my sessions and am calling it maternity leave. Hopefully I’ll meet this little girl or boy any day now. People keep asking what I think it is but I’m not really certain. I had a dream early on that it was a little boy.…
I’m 38 weeks pregnant today and the reality of my impending labor is starting to become more apparent! I’m pretty nervous about having to go through the pain aspect of it all again, but I’m excited to meet the new addition to our family. I’ve been trying to shake the nerves by spending some quality…
My little boy turned 5! He’s the sweetest soul I ever did meet. He adores his baby sister, and is constantly playing with her and giving her attention. He loves his big sister, too, but she tends to boss him around a bit so their relationship is… more dynamic, haha. He enjoys being outside and…

Today we made cascarones filled with birdseed instead of confetti. Eva had been begging me daily as we saved our eggshells for the past few weeks. She was so excited. On Easter Sunday we’ll hide them around the yard and break them on eachother’s heads.
On our last trip to Kauai we finally had family photos taken! It was our first time having professional photos taken as a family so it was very interesting being on the other side of the camera! I’m so happy we did this, and we now have a big canvas of our favorite hanging on…
