San Diego Maternity, Newborn and Baby Photographer, Sheryl Paulino, Pasheoni Photography

I just love it when I get emails from my clients telling me they’ve had their little one and can’t wait to schedule their newborn session. I love it even more when it’s been a mystery baby and finding out if they had a boy or girl. When I saw Jamie’s email, I was above and beyond ecstatic! This little boy is so tiny, and slept practically through our entire session. I just wanted to squish and snuggle and play with him all day long! :))

Here HE is…Mr. Lucas. The little man that was close to being born on leap year! Congrats Jamie and Jay!!!

Some say by the way the bump looks you can tell the gender of the baby. I’m not sure if that’s true but what I do know is that It’s NOT fair when I have to force Jamie to push out her little bump so we can see it! :) Despite the chance of showers and the semi-cold weather (yes, cold is an OVER statement given to some), the three, I mean four of us had a great time capturing the beauty of a baby to be.

Jamie and Jay, thanks so much for coming out to play in the cold. It was so much fun just chatting with you and having fun at the beach. I can’t wait to find out what your having!! Enjoy your (oh so many because I couldn’t just choose 4) teasers and see you in a couple weeks. :)

Fall is in the air. With rain and shine, it’s so hard to figure out what Mother Nature has planned for me and all my lovely clients.

Fortunately with a newborn session, it doesn’t matter what the weather is like (granted I love trying to bring them outdoors, but it’s too cold now). Little Jackson, being 3 weeks old was ready for me no matter what! He was the most squishiest little bub, I couldn’t help squeeze him as much as possible. I loved curling up with him in front of the space heater just to get my squish on. His sister was such a great helper during the session, I wish I was able to spend more time with them both, BUT the darn time change wasn’t letting me as the sun was setting and quick.

Sonia, thank you so much for having me over. It was so much fun working with you and the entire family. Here are your teasers!

Yup, I’m lucky! There is no doubt in my mind that I am in the right profession. With being able to meet new people, make them smile, and capture memories all at once…there’s no better joy (besides ice cream)! I remember last month when I looked at the calendar and told myself that, “Man, this is going to be an INSANE two months.” As the month went on, and after each and every session, I find myself saying, “wow, this is the best time of year EVER!”

Seeing each family grow is such an AMAZING feeling, It’s so hard to explain. With today’s session and seeing the twins, Bryn and Blaine, two little ones I photographed over a year ago, made my heart melt. Seeing how much they’ve grown, how much each of their personalities have blossomed…wow! To top this off….as our fun session came to an end, the BEAUTIFUL Bryn voluntarily laid her two sweet lips on my cheek. It was so sweet, I almost teared up. Gosh I love this job!

Kellie and Steve, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for the wonderful evening. I can’t wait to work on these photos! Here are your teasers!

I LOVE FAMILY SESSIONS! The giggles, the laughs, the chasing, the silly noises and of course the beautiful family. Remember Baby Roman? Yup, this little guy is back for more and boy did I love making him laugh. He is such a smiley, happy baby, he was reminding me of the days when my little ones were as tiny and squishy he is. Then we have the oh-so-cute big sister, Scarlet. Full of energy and loves to explore. Her cute little voice giving me the low down on what she wanted to do, was so fun. As we ran around, jumped up and down, this controlled chaos is what I love most. Seeing everyone just taking a deep breath and seeing that this is life, our crazy life.

Fern, thank you again for coming out to Poway for the shoot. I had a blast being silly and capturing the moment! Enjoy your teasers.

This post has meaning in all ways. It’s been WAY TOO LONG since my last blog post. I’m still here, don’t worry, it’s just been VERY crazy in my other life as a Marketing Manager as well as having two kiddos sick (gotta love the kindergarten cooties that get passed), as well as the most busy time of year for family sessions.

It has also been WAY TOO LONG since I’ve seen this beautiful family. Vanessa and I met over 10 years ago and truly haven’t seen eachother for YEARS. When she told me about wanting to do a family session, I was completely ecstatic. To be able to catch up, hang out and enjoy an afternoon at the beach is one of the best things I love about my job. I told Vanessa that I still had the family photo of when Lania was born. It’s crazy that I think I’ve only seen Lania only a handful of times since that photo was taken. I promise to bring it with me the next time I see you, Vanessa!

Chris, Vanessa and Lania, thank you so much for all the laughs and fun we had at the beach. It was great to enjoy the simple things in life and not worry about anything else around us. Enjoy your teasers.

Simple request for all who visit me here. Can you visit me there too ;) -xoxo

This little guy must’ve known I was coming and worked his magic. He was full, and sleepy. Through outfit changes, blanket changes, AND posing changes, he was sleepy and ready to show off his cuteness. Sissy Scarlet was dressed cute and willing. It’s so much fun to be able to start shooting as soon as I come into a beautiful home. With Scarlet’s beautiful smile, I couldn’t wait to get started.

Thank you so much Fern for giving me this wonderful opportunity, and I can’t wait to have a session with the family again. Here are your teasers!

M.I.A…Mama Mia..either or, I hate that I’m not posting as much as I want.

Time has been flying so fast, I don’t even know where to begin. From not even posting a single picture from our Maui trip (BACK in the beginning of JUNE), to Keoni’s 5th birthday (LAST week), I feel like I’m failing at this whole blog thing. I hate to think I don’t have the time, because heck, there is 24 hours in a day, but man oh man, I seriously don’t have the time.

I can truthfully blame the following (in no particular order – well maybe because that’s what comes first to mind):
Facebook and all it’s interestingness
Pinterest and all it’s acebookingness (ha, sorry, yes I’m sleepy and tried to make a funny when i noticed my last descriptive word)
Family time, because yes, they deserve some ‘Mommy time’, not the I see her in her office time
School is back in session, for me. Yeay me and furthering my education!
…and lastly, I feel I lost some followers for my MIAness and no one would be reading this ANYWAYS.

I want this Blog to be a place I can run to when I have something exciting to say. I want it to be a place where my fellow peers, friends and family and anyone in between go to find out what’s going on about me and get to know me better if they don’t already. I want to make that digital presence to help make another smile, simple as that. ha! Now…how can I make this more interesting? That’s the question.

I will vow to post more (sheesh, I still have a newborn session to post), vow to laugh on here more, and well, share more. So at least show me some love to let me know you’re reading? HA! So here’s my share, because a post isn’t a post without a photo. xoxo

Baby bump as in OMG stick out that belly more because you can’t see it! :P

I’ve known Kiana for over (wow) 15 years and she always has a bubbly, uplifting spirit. Even though we haven’t seen each other in over 10 years, just talking to her on the phone made it feel like we never missed a day. When we were chatting yesterday, she reminded me of how we first started our photography venture. Oh the days of film! LOL. Kiana was one of my first ever models, poor girl! From playing with shutter speeds to studio lights, she had to endure my goofiness behind the camera. If only I could find those negatives! ha!

Kiana, my dear. I’m so excited to reconnect with you and be part of this very special time in your life. It was a pleasure to meet your husband. You two are just the cutest together. He truly makes you smile! You are such a cute preggo, it almost makes me hate you! I’M KIDDING! Here are your teasers! I know I said 4, but I couldn’t help it! :)
