I just had to post this image before we head out of town for the weekend. It is from Juliet’s birthday party at The Little Gym. The colors and light are very difficult to work with in their room but this one is exposed for the natural light coming through the windows and I just [...]

Merrik recently started begging me to have Ford and Frances over for a play date. I asked their mom, Amber, who is a great person and of course one of those awesome moms from Serra Preschool if we could get together. At the OK of Merrik we ended up stopping over at their house after [...]

Merrik is growing up right before my eyes. I can’t believe how ‘old’ he looks in these frames. Thank goodness I have captured so many moments like this to go back through and remember how little he once was!

T-street is my beach. I know, I know, it’s your beach too. But, it’s the beach where I spent many summer days as a child. The beach where I spent 8 hours every day in the summer as a teenager. It’s the “town” beach in San Clemente and I didn’t spend time at the pier [...]

When I was just starting to read cursive writing I had a book that I remember so vividly to this day. It had a mix of typeset and cursive poems and stories. I was so excited that I could read the new type of writing that I started reading everything in sight. My favorite poem [...]

I had so much fun photographing Cori and her growing family recently. We started at the park where she and her husband were married and ended up at her folks’ beach house where the kids go “every day!” It was a beautiful morning and the start to some warmer weather for us-finally.

[photography] is an investment
I have always had to acknowledge the opinion of many people that being a professional photographer is just a matter of picking up a camera and making pretty pictures. Since day one of starting photography as a career it has been my reality. I have been confronted with it head on (someone actually claimed that [...]

I recently had the honor of photographing my first cousin once removed. She was supposedly a “sleeper” but was wide awake the entire time I was photographing her. I was so hesitant to wake Maliea when she was a brand new baby that the only pics I have of her were taken while she was [...]

![[photography] is the stage](http://kristiannekochphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/20100131_nicolesshow_collage01-150x150.jpg)
A couple of weeks ago we went to Newport El’s stage performance of Schoolhouse Rock. One of Merrik’s favorite people in the whole world, “Macole“(Nicole-who is a cousin of his cousins on the other side of their family so she is not related but we spend a lot of time with her family), had the [...]

Merrik has been obsessed with Curious George lately and when he saw these monkey pjs he just had to have them-for himself and for Maliea. I think it is very sweet that he thinks of her too. Of course hers are pink and his aren’t. Oh and by the way, he is also obsessed with [...]
[photography] is check it
Check out these gorgeous camera bags by Kelly Moore. They are great for anything-diapers, movie snacks, spare toddler clothes-but make a great camera bag because they don’t look like a camera bag!

I was so lucky to help at Merrik’s preschool on one of the days they were learning about bears. All the kids showed up in their pjs and brought their bears to class with them. The bears ended up “sleeping over” at the school all weekend long. Merrik is anxiously waiting to see how big [...]
