how many ways can you write maliea with photos?

I created these letters in Hawaii and I think I will use them as a banner over her bed. …and I just created this collage of Maliea’s first year using Shape Collage Kristianne Koch Photography Kristianne Koch specializes in artistic portrait photography of families, children and couples. 949-702-7707 kristianne.koch@cox.net

merrik and maliea-one year

Here are Merrik and Maliea at one. See they look different! The only reason Maliea is nude is because I never got around to doing her “babyparts” photo shoot at 5 months old so I am killing two birds with one stone here. I am so bummed I don’t have pics of those gorgeous plump [...]
maliea’s almost one!
Happy Birthday baby girl. I can’t believe you’re going to be one year old this week. Where did the time go? It seems like I was just holding my tiny bundle wrapped in a blanket only weeks ago. It has been a fun and busy year and we are all so happy you are a [...]
fun with zoe

We finally made it to Zoe’s house for a visit. It’s only been months since we’ve both had time to get together for a playdate. Zoe now has a new puppy named Coco. I pointed out to Merrik that Zoe is dressing herself (note shoes on wrong feet and pants on backward) so he decided [...]
The Bus

When we were in Hawaii, there was one thing I really wanted to do with Merrik. I wanted to take him on The Bus. It was our primary mode of transportation when Jim and I lived there and I loved it. I still enjoy the bus when I take it from the Fullerton train station [...]
ender, kelly and dax | photo session sneak peak

I felt like I was on a fashion shoot for this portrait session-aren’t they a gorgeous family? We had so much fun! Ender is almost the exact same age as Maliea and he was so full of energy. Look Mom, a pic where he is smiling while you are holding him. Yeah! Kristianne Koch Photography [...]
more hawaii favorites

My favorite family photo is one of us up on The Pali. It was crazy windy up there and just about lifted Merrik off the ground. This is a collage of images from Waikiki, happy hour at The Royal Hawaiian hotel, the Hawaiian Railroad, the North Shore and our octagon house. Kristianne Koch Photography Kristianne [...]
jim riddle and his magnificent ukulele
Jim has been strumming the ukulele every day since he bought it at Good Guys Music and Sound in Honolulu. He ended up with a solid wood mahogany tenor uke after quite a bit of research online before we left for Hawaii and in several shops on Oahu while we were there. He played practically [...]
pre preschool
We all visited Serra Preschool on Friday to see if we would like to let Merrik attend next Fall. We have put it off as long as possible because I just love spending time with him and he will be in school for a long time so why start sooner than later? Merrik took a [...]
sea monsters

We all went to the tidepools at Dana Point headlands on Sunday. It was a great day to get out of the house after catching up on sleep, housekeeping, business and train play (Merrik missed his trains in Hawaii). Merrik had a great time climbing on all the boulders and wanted to climb to the [...]
process process process
“In computing, a process is an instance of a computer program that is being sequentially executed[1] by a computer system that has the ability to run several computer programs concurrently.” – Wikipedia Boy does this feel like me. Not just my computer but me personally. I LOVE process and the experience of going through process [...]
somewhere over the rainbow

We found our pot of gold at the North Shore. After a few days of surf and sail in Waikiki we discovered the best hideaway possible: a perfectly placed octagon shaped house not quite a mile down the beach from Pipeline. With the most beautiful beach and shoreline just outside our window, we settled in [...]
