san diego child photographer | 4/52. . .isn’t it ironic

Don’t cha think? The destroyer has been at it again. In ONE day this past week, he managed to:

1. squeeze out an entire tube of toothpaste and smear it in the carpet
2. destroy a tube of lipstick and smear that all over himself, his blankie, and my purse
3. climb on the counter and open the Nestle Quik and scoop it out all over himself and the counter
4. break a bathroom drawer from climbing on it

That was just Wednesday. So it’s a little ironic because he looks so sweet, serene, and innocent (innocent being the operative word) in his sleep. But he does snuggle well and he kills me with his grin, so I’ll let him off the hook for all of his mischievous deeds.

I couldn’t pick just one this week, so I’m putting three up of little C taking a nap yesterday.

san diego family photographer | long overdue

So WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY back in December (seems like forever ago already), I took a short trip to Florida to visit a friend. I met her in a very unconventional way on a Ebay seller’s forum about 4 years ago. We became really close and we finally had the chance to meet. Let me just tell you that my weirdness and spastic nature have been unmatched in my lifetime. . .until I met Angela. She is a freak of nature and we are two peas in a pod. I nicknamed her Gateer and she calls me Nacle (as do many others). When I went to visit her, I also met one of her neighbors. She asked me, “So, how do you spell your name?” I said, “K-r-i-s-t-i-n”. She in turn replied, “Wait, I thought your name was Nacle”. I laughed so hard, I cried. Who in their right mind would name their poor child Nacle? Apparently, Angela calls me that all.the.time to her friends/family, so they just assumed that was my real name. Even her kid’s call me Nacle.

While out there, we had a blast shopping, eating, shopping, drinking coffee’s, shopping, eating, and drinking more coffee. I also was able to take some pictures of her and her four beautiful children. I am looking forward to another trip out to Orlando sometime this year! ;)

san diego teen photographer | hold onto your hats. . .

because this girl is drop-dead, over the moon, incredibly gorgeous. She was here on vacation from Brazil and needed some pictures for her birthday celebration coming up. She also plans on using some for her modeling portfolio. I’m thinking she is a total shoe-in for having an amazing modeling career. :)

featured! come take a look!

I fell in love with this blog when I came across it last year. I always thought it would be amazing to be one of the people featured on it. And today I am!!!! I am so excited and giddy about it, you would think I won the lottery lol! Marsha is the person behind The Savvy Photographer blog and she is so awesome at making it a fun, fresh, and need-to-have-on-rss-feed type blog. Make sure to get a cup of coffee and put your feet up when you go to read, because you are sure to be there for awhile!

It was a hugely positive thing for me to wake up to after being devastated last night to find some of my pictures had been stolen from me by a former client and had the watermark removed. She had also scanned two of my prints and uploaded them to her flickr and had entered them in a contest on the Pioneer Woman’s blog and was a finalist. Ree, the owner of PW, took her entry down immediately after getting my email. However, it still was a huge shock to me and made me sad to realize that people don’t see how wrong it is to do something like this. Please do not steal my blog images if you do not have permission. Please do not remove my watermark from my images or edit them with weird, funky sun flare overlays. And please, please do not scan my pictures. . .it is illegal! This business is my livelihood and it makes me sad that people don’t respect that. Ok, had to get that out!

Gotta put a pic, otherwise it looks bare right? Here’s a pic to make you smile. :)

3/52 – my boo

It has been rainy, windy, and cold here this week. Far cry from 80 degree weather just a couple of weeks ago. Needless to say, we haven’t been outside much so I wasn’t sure what to do for this week. I thought it would be fun to go out in the rain and stomp in puddles, but we don’t have any rain gear! We don’t really neeeeed rain gear here. I decided to get a head-shot of my cutie-patootie middle child; he is such a sweet boy with a good heart. He can be quite the stinker too so don’t let this sweet face fool you too much. Every night when he says his prayers, he asks God to help Madyson be good, hahahaha. :) He adores chocolate milk, tickles on his back, and playing the wii.

Ok time to go clean up the house and cook dinner. It looks like the wind storm came inside my house, picked all the toys up, and threw them up all over the living room. Good times. Peace out!
