Meet Vanessa

Let me start with a quick intro:

In the summer of 2013, I moved to a city I wasn’t too fond of for schooling and decided in order to pass my time I needed a hobby. Instead of choosing something healthy like jogging or something productive like learning to cook, I chose photography. It’s better than gambling I figured, so one point for Vanessa. After taking photos with my iPhone for the mens fashion blog ‘We, the Timeless’ I decided to step up my game and make a SLR purchase. Yolo.

I’ve always admired my older sisters. I mean, who wouldn’t. They’re gorgeous, amazing women and of course their photography is always spot on. I have always been the lil tag along sister, so once again I’m going to tag along and show you ‘what makes me click’.

Love is all you need

Okay…I know I said I was taking a break but since Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite days of the year…I had to pop in and do one quick post of my sweet boys and their V-day cards.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

And of course…what would a photo shoot with kids be without some serious bloopers!

Baby Reed

Mmmm…that new baby smell! Ahhh…those chubby legs! Grrr…those interrupted nights! Welcome little baby Reed!

We are so happy to have a beautiful little son to add to our family. He is such a happy & content little guy…which makes me sooo happy and content! When I pick him up in the mornings and he gives me that huge smile…that’s a feeling that no amount of caffeine can give me! His looks are changing everyday…so for now it’s hard to say who he looks like. But in my eyes…he is the cutest baby around!

I had forgotten all those new baby things…like holding in a cough or sneeze so you don’t wake the baby…praying that you hit every green light so the car doesn’t stop and the baby stays sleeping….pretending that spit up and saliva on my shirt is a new fashion accessory…and staring in amazement that something soooo beautiful can be trusted in my arms.

I was nervous of how Dre was going to react…but its been incredible to watch this sweet bond form between the two of them. Reed always has a huge smile for Dre and loves to sit and watch him play cars. Dre always makes a beeline for Reed as soon as he hears a squeak and loves ‘helping’ burp him or push him in the swing.

I love my 2 sons and right now they require my full attention. So I’ve decided to take a bit of a break from the blog. We started the blog as a fun way to share our life and photos…and right now I’m just finding it to be another thing on my list of things to do. So…for now I will be an ‘editor at large’. However…we DO have something planned to fill my place…so keep checking back!

Simon the spy turns 6

He finally wore me down. This year Simon, who has become a bit of a bossy pants, finally had his Power Ranger Party. The party started off with the boys having to attend Power Ranger training camp. Upon completion, they were rewarded with a gold belt, sword and mask. Ninja sushi and fruit swords kept the rangers powered up for the rest of the afternoon!

This 6 year old kid skips everywhere he goes which never fails to put a smile on my face. He’s become very crafty when it comes to money and even though he may only earn 25 cents a job, he’s learned to save up. His idea of a day well spent is playing Minecraft from sunup until sundown. On cold days he often wishes there were a coat for his pants. Phrases that often come out of his mouth are: “I’ll punch you in the armpit!”, “No mucho blah blah blah”, and “I’ll have the usual”, which means cheeseburger with extra pickles. And much to my chagrin if he’s not actually farting then he’s probably talking about it. It always a world of randomness with Simon!

Favorite restaurant – In N Out. Cheeseburger extra pickles!
