Mine on Monday

Today was day one of spring break, so we hit the beach since the weather is supposed to be cold and wet the rest of the week here in San Diego. We put up Trista's canopy and had a great little shaddy spot for us and Ms. Genevieve. It was G's first trip to the beach and she loved it!!

Mine on Monday

Just a little snapshot I took of two of my Valentine's yesterday (Valentine number three was mowing the lawn, so we were hanging outside on the porch since Mommy loves the smell of freshly cut grass).

Mine on Monday

I meant to start this on January 1st, but forgot! No surprise there, I can barely remember my name these days with the lack of sleep :)

Every Monday I'm going to post some pics of my own kiddos since I'm constantly taking their pictures too. I'll kick off my first "Mine on Monday" post with the latest photos I took with Genevieve. I take pictures of her on the 31st of every month, and this time I grabbed some shots of her in her happiest place (besides the boob :) ...the changing table. Hard to believe my little baby is already 3 months old.

Sofa Session Preview...

I will be announcing all of the information on my "Sofa Sessions" this weekend. For fun, I took my girls out to a local park here in La Mesa and used them as my models. We had such a great time and I got so many beautiful shots. I absolutely can't wait to offer this opportunity to my clients since this is a unique way to take photos of their kiddos!! And just in time for Valentine's Day!

Baby G {One Month Old}

I just realized today that I haven't done a blog post in over a month (bad Tessa). I've been super busy enjoying my maternity leave and spending as much time with my family as possible! I've been very fortunate to have Joel home with me since G's birth, and that has been a HUGE help in adjusting to being a family of four.

I know this post is only 3 weeks over due since Genevieve is now 7 weeks old (ALREADY, I know!), but below are a couple of pictures that I took of her on her one month birthday. It still amazes me how much she looks like Isabelle, and I call her Belle often. Sometimes when Joel is holding her on the couch and I walk by, there is this incredible since of deja vu. It's amazing, and I wonder just how much they'll look like one another in a few months!!!

Sisters...

I have envisioned this shot since the day I found out I was pregnant in February.

I have to say that Isabelle is an even better big sister than I could have hoped for. She wants to come home after school to be with her family, she hugs and kisses her sister often and puts the binky back in Genevieve's mouth when it falls out. She helps me change diapers. She wants to hold her sister and kisses the top of her head while she does.

I have to admit that not too long after Belle was born I thought, "there's no way I can love another child as much as I love my first born". "Maybe we shouldn't have another because can you love two children equally"? The answer is yes, you can! And it is the best feeling in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meet the newest fan of Grin & Share It Photography

It is with great joy that I introduce you to you Genevieve, the newest addition of our family. Our little pumpkin came into this world on Halloween, 8 days early. Big sister Isabelle is loving having her here, and it makes me so happy to watch them together. I'm actually feeling great, and am amazed how much easier it is the second time around. For quite some time I've felt as though someone was missing from our family, and now she is finally here!!!!!!!

Below are a couple of photos that I took at the hospital and on her four day birthday :)

Enjoy,
