San Diego Lifestyle Photographer | maternity, newborn, baby, child & family photography
Ok, so I had yet to take a picture of the 2 of them together and this wasn’t quite how I imagined it, LOL. It is raining out and really dark but I stupidly decided I would try to get a quick shot anyway since they were both sitting on my bed while I change Marlowe’s diaper. I had to shoot at ISO 1600 and it was still dark, boooooo. I am sure this will only get tougher as Marlowe gets older!
But it is my girls nonetheless and I love it anyway.
I have no words…I will just NOT be taking her picture for a VERY long time. We were not on speaking terms by the end of this…and if you are a photographer with a child this age, you understand exactly what I mean, LOL. And now that I am on bedrest, there is no opportunity for more. So unfortunately, what I got was all I got and we are stuck with them, as my butt is implanted to the couch now days. However, now I do have more time to sit and edit pictures of her, so that is nice.

I am currently 29 weeks pregnant and once again, as with my last pregnancy, am on bedrest due to high blood pressure and other fun complications. The only bonus to this situation is seeing my beautiful daughter’s face more than I ever have in the last 3 years of her life. I adore her more than words can say and although it sucks to have a complicated pregnancy, she brings me peace, joy and more love than I have ever known. I am so lucky…
Ok, well maybe not so lucky today bc I asked if she could let me take her picture in baby sister’s nursery. It is practically empty and I thought I could take a few shots of her pretty face against a cleanly painted wall, which is not normally my style. She agreed and even asked me to take her picture with her baby doll, who has a matching aviator hat. 
So we went in the room, I plopped my fat, pregnant self on the floor so that I wasn’t exerting any energy or raising my blood pressure…little did I know she had other plans. 137 pictures later, she refused to look at me in ANY of them but one, the very first one. She did say I could take a picture of her silly face as long as I showed my friends…so you will see this one here.
And so here are the chaotic images from our morning, that turned out to be a battle. Needless to say, she is off playing with her friends at daycare while I rest now.
And bc I promised….here is her “silly face”, which mommy didn’t think was so silly in the midst of things, LOL.
I got my new lens last night…I have wanted this thing FOREVER and I finally broke down and got it! I just wanted to try it out real quick on Olivia and see how I feel about it, but of course, I neeeeeeeeeeeeeed more time with this baby!
Tonight I had so much fun working with my photographer friend Cecily and her adorable family! Aren’t they the most adorable family ever?! Eli is just the most handsome little guy…his eyes are just gorgeous!!! And he made me work for smiles and eye contact since the camera being in his face is nothing new to him! I had a blast guys…thanks for hanging out!
