September

I photographed AJ & Kiana’s proposal, engagement and gender reveal all in one day haha! SO excited for these two!

They are having a GIRL!

We took Koa on his first family vacation to Orlando! The trip also included his first FLIGHT! We had no idea how he would react to the flight. I thought he’d be fine with the iPad & some snacks but Shaun thought he would flip out. Well.. Shaun was RIGHT! Oh boy, the 1.5 hour flight there was absolutely horrible. My poor babe! He sat in the car seat and laughed out the window until the planed lifted off of the ground. Then he LOST it. Screaming and crying! We took him out of the car seat and sat him in Shaun’s lap. This is really the only picture I took where he was calm for 10 seconds lol. It was absolutely heartbreaking that nothing we tried to do to console him worked! But I’m happy to say that on the way home, he was totally fine and stayed in the car seat watching shows on the iPad! We also gave him some plain ice cream cones to snack on that kept him happy. I think it was better because he knew what to expect. I feel so much better about planning another vacation next year lol. My sweet boy! Oh and Shaun had to lug the car seat and his golf clubs around the airport so I’m naming him the real MVP haha!

We met my family in Orlando (my parents, sisters, brother-in-law and nephew) and stayed at the most beautiful resort! Koa was obsessed with the pool and loved being lifted up and down in the water. You have to see this adorable video of him counting in the pool here!

The ladies went to Disney’s Animal Kingdom and the guys went golfing. Koa was a little timid in the petting zoo but LOVED the safari! All the animals we read about in books were right in front of him and he was squealing with joy <3
When we returned from our trip, our little family modeled for a commercial shoot at the Mariner’s Museum for The Vacation Channel! Can’t wait to see the images!
