Hello + Welcome!

I’m Anina. I'm married to my best friend, Ian, and a mama to two girls, Ro and P. This is the dedicated space on the internet where my journal lives. The real and raw, the good and the bad, the then, now, and the in between places in my life - with the occasional photo spam of my babies.

First Fam of 4 Photos

We got our first family of 4 photos done by the lovely Kimber Brown. She is a local, has beautiful work, and we know some people who have used her services so we knew we wouldn’t be disappointed! Turned out she was super rad, have kids of her own so she really patient with us and knew how to work with our rowdy toddler! We chose El Porto Beach as our spot because it’s a really special place to us, not just for our family but when it was just us during our dating days! We used to daydream about living in that area and here we are, 7 years later, living out that daydream.

Throughout the entire shoot, P had her tongue sticking out. We never noticed her doing it at home so maybe she just really liked the salty air, haha.
