Lifestyle: Oh my Oh me, my Son is Three

Another year,  another birthday card photo shoot!

If you read last year’s post "not so terrible Two's...yet" then you already know that I established a yearly tradition of sending a birthday photo invitation every year, mainly due in part that our family lives in different parts of the country. By sending a photo birthday card I am able to use it as an invitation for family and friends who happen to live close by and it also serves as an birthday announcement and yearly photo to our families who live in different parts of the country.

I love doing them and I will probably continue to torment my son by taking endless  photos of him until he is an adult (lol)

Here is the world's most handsome 3 year...  Enjoy! (stay tuned to the very end to see the final product)

Simplicity at its finest !

Dear Julian,

One day you will see all the photos I take of you, and either you’ll be embarrassed or elated  that your mommy took so many photos of you while you were growing up ( my guess is embarrassed. I apologize in advance but I can’t help it, look how unbelievably adorable you are)

It goes without saying how proud we are of you. I love watching every step you take in your growth path.

In these photos you are turning 3 years old and you have a slight obsession with Toy Story  and love learning about dinosaurs. Your favorite foods are bananas, cereal bars and mommy’s brown rice and chicken balls. We celebrated your 3^rd birthday again at the zoo and all your buddies from school came and we all had a blast watching you and your friends touch a scorpion, snake and armadillo.

We love you endlessly,  Happy 3^rd Birthday Julian!!

Love Mommy & Daddy

DIY: Boys Valentine Day card

Happy (friendship day/ lovers day/ sweetheart day ) Valentine’s Day! I believe as many others do, that you should show the special people in your lives you love them every single day not just one random day of the year. But since that one random day a year is upon us, here is a cute post on it.

The way I usually celebrate February 14th is by making either an extra special breakfast or dinner, like heart shaped pancakes for breakfast or once heart shaped quesadillas for lunch, pretty much heart shaped anything lol.
...and since my son has been born I tend to celebrate more random holidays because they are just more fun when a little one is involved. This year I racked my brain to figure out what we should get the kids at my sons school ( last year instead of candy we gave the kids crayons ) this year candy prevailed due in part to pintrest.

I often find myself super overwhelmed with pintrest but this time it was the major source of my inspiration. As you know if you are frequent visitor to this blog you obviously know I love taking pictures and my  muse is always my one and only, my son. So I decided to make a photo of my son a personalized valentine’s day card for all his school mates and teachers and believe me it was incredibly easy and if I do say so my myself  super cool and adorable .

Being that my son is still only 2 years old sometimes it’s a bit hard for him to follow direction, so the final product was as good as it could of possibly could be lol

Enjoy…

Lifestyle: Romeo Oh! Romeo...

Last Sunday I had the most enjoyable time shooting the Potter Family. This unique family is centered around this adorable and charismatic little 3 year old.  

Allow me to introduce you to ROMEO!

Romeo is a truly blessed child with three awesome mother figures {mom, aunt, and grandma}

This parenting trifecta consists of these close nit mother and daughters. They had just as much fun spending time with each other during the shoot as Romeo did being the star of the show.

When I am shooting these types of family portraits and I see the closeness between family members, It really makes me miss home (Hi mom & dad! Love you) J

The special bond that is shared between these sisters is magnificent. They are both such an enormous part of Romeo’s life and this simple photo captures it so well.

Thank you Potter Family for allowing me to capture these special memories. It was a pleasure to meet our little superstar, Romeo!
