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

I remember speaking with Dyana last year in regards to scheduling her family session. She wanted to lose ‘more’ weight first and she would let me know when she was ready. When I received her email, I was ecstatic to work with her and her family for a session. Suprisingly enough, she mentioned she was expecting and would love me to capture her growing family. I giggled because I remember when I went on my weight loss, and finally hit my goal, I also tested positive on a pregnancy test. See what happens when you try to bring sexy back? You are confident, bold and preggo! )

Dyana, it was soOO nice to see you again and it was nice to get my camera on JD once more. It was a pleasure to meet your husband, and you guys make such a cute family! I hope you enjoyed our day at the beach, and hope you enjoy your teasers. I can’t wait to meet Baby Boy #2!

Eight is another number closer to 12! I don’t understand why 12 keeps getting closer. 12 equals 1…YES! ONE!  I can’t imagine my baby girl turning ONE!!!!

Though she actually turned 8 months old on Thanksgiving day, we wanted to do something special just for US.  San Diego doesn’t typically show it’s Seasons.  I mean, we wear flipflops ALL YEAR LONG.  LOL.  One place I do know where you can tell it’s Autumn is at the beautiful Old Poway Park.  We enjoyed the day sitting in the grass with our packed lunch and soaked up the nice cool breeze.  I couldn’t have asked for a better day to spend it with MY family.  The family my HUSBAND and I created.  It’s an amazing feeling.  Through all the tough days being a parent has to offer, this by far makes it all worth it and them some!

Kayla, as much as I hate you growing up, you’re are growing up BEAUTIFULLY inside and out.  There isn’t a day you dont make my heart melt.  You and your brother (and yes, your daddy too) make my life complete and I can’t ask for anything more..

Ok. I’m done being all ‘Hallmark’!

If you know my life, then you know that we are ALWAYS out and about on weekends (no matter how much housework there is)!  Since the busy work week keeps us pretty much in a routine with the kids, we always told eachother we want to spend quality time with the kids with no worries of what needs to get done (to an extent) on weekends.  So I decided to start ‘Memorable Mondays’.  This will recap what we did for the weekend/week.

This weekend was the Pacific Islander Festival Association’s 15th annual luau. Paul and I have been gonig every year with eachother since we’ve met – so that’s 8 years straight. It’s a great tradition we have and I love being to now bring my wee family to it as well.  This being Keoni’s 3rd time, he knew exactly where we were and what to anticipate. Kayla, however, was a little overwhelmed, but enjoyed herself nonetheless.  We typically leave bright and early in the AM (like 7am) to get prime parking and seating since over 50,000 people go every year.  Over the years we’ve mastered what to bring and how to drag it to the beach – cooler of drinks, snacks, blankets, mini tent for the kiddos, chairs, and SUNBLOCK) all thrown into the strollers, ha! At PIFA, theres great food, music, entertainment, vendors and a lot of fun.

Today I had the pleasure to photograph two very fun people, Angela and Brett…and two cute pugs! Nothing says LOVE ME like two cute smooshed faces with their toungues flapping in the air. Oh yeah, not to mention the cute, NO-STRETCHMARKED-BELLY! Yes, Angela, I’m jealous!   With San Diego’s beautiful weather, we couldn’t resist hitting up the local beach.  We couldn’t resist getting milkshakes, having a run-in with the law, oh yeah, and just having fun!

It was great spending the afternoon with you two, next time we’ll read the sign, right?   Here are your teasers!
