kids. Now that I am pregnant with number 2, I literally cannot believe that time is here. Before I had Kellan, I had a very misconstrued thought in my head that motherhood would come easy to me. I helped my sister a ton with both my nephew and niece and have always loved kids so thought, hey, I am already a few steps ahead of the game. Boy, was I wrong! First of all, Kellan came 3 weeks early, so my husband and I were not fully prepared both mentally and physically when he arrived. My husband was literally putting together the playpen the night my water broke. We hadn’t even installed the car seat or got it checked by the fire department. The first night we were home from the hospital with Kellan, my husband and I looked at each other and were like… oh man, what do we do now? Thankfully, Kellan was a pretty easy baby to take care of."   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1493924981654-M8ILWH78VMX6V0O7WSHQ/image-asset.jpeg Studio Tala - Kathy and Kellan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1493925013030-KEWWIZTZ4XV09BDAKUTN/image-asset.jpeg Studio Tala - Kathy and Kellan "Obviously, being a first time mom, anything that went wrong or seemed wrong, I called our doctor or advice nurse. I hated being “that Mom” but I honestly did not want to fail at this whole parenting thing. One thing that I didn’t mentally prepare for (and I am not sure how I could have prepared for anyways) was how much my life would change after having a baby. Part of that misconstrued thought I had of motherhood was that my life would be the same; I would now just have a child to share it with. Pre-kids, my husband and I said that we wouldn’t be those parents who plan their life around their kids. We would have our kids adapt to our lifestyle. Ha, what you think your life is going to be as a parent versus how your life actually is as a parent are two totally different paths. I am not saying that life changed in a bad way, we just had to adjust to the new normal. Not the normal my husband and I were used to pre-baby, but normal as in our life now as a family.   If it wasn’t for my supportive husband, family, friends and a workplace that cares about my well-being as a mother, I don’t know how I would have survived the first 18 months of Kellan’s life. There were times in those first 18 months where I felt my life would be this continuous groundhog day of sleepless nights, pumping, feeding the baby, going to work, changing diapers, cleaning the house. There was no time for myself anymore and definitely no time to do the things that I used to do. I was running on fumes and was starting to accept that this would be my life from now. But looking back on it, I feel like I kind of did that to myself. As a new mom, I wanted to be there for all of Kellan’s milestones. Even when family offered to watch Kellan over the weekend so my husband and I could have a date night or just a night of rest, I wouldn’t do it because I felt guilty. I felt guilty for not spending time with Kellan on the days that I had off from work and struggled to find that work/life balance. It was very unhealthy for me and my marriage." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1493925102285-FTAPPW54V3WAWQVLMYAZ/image-asset.jpeg Studio Tala - Kathy and Kellan "Now that Kellan is 2 years old, life has gotten so much easier. He has grown to be this funny, smart, loving, larger than life toddler and I could not have asked for a better son. I have finally come to realize that motherhood is an ever changing job and I just have to role with the punches. I have to remind myself to not stress over the little things because as I have come to find out, it is only temporary and the reward of seeing our little guy grow up far outweighs all of the temporary struggles we went through to get to this point. Being the mother to Kellan truly fills my heart and soul and I can’t imagine my life without him."   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1493925166375-9G3JTXJY5KDQWVBAGEN3/image-asset.jpeg Studio Tala - Kathy and Kellan "There have been times during this second pregnancy where I’ve thought, how am I going to be able to love baby number 2 as much as I love Kellan? I worry about how my life is going to be with 2 kids now that we finally have this great routine going with Kellan and I have found that life/work balance I thought I would never have 10 months ago. I have a lot of excitement for finally fulfilling my dream of having 2 kids, but I do also have a lot of fear. I just have to keep reminding myself that I can’t stress about what life is going to be when baby number 2 arrives. I have to enjoy my life now as a family of 3 and just roll with the punches once our second son arrives in July." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1493925471464-JD1EVT9LOJ2R19065S4J/image-asset.jpeg Studio Tala - Kathy and Kellan https://andyviernes.com/studio-tala/2017/3/27/tammy-and-allie monthly 0.5 2017-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1490640071972-AIUUL3ATX6N35E566E01/image-asset.jpeg Studio Tala - Tammy and Allie "Allie's dad and I divorced when she was 1. It was a rough time and I didn't think I'd be able to come out of it okay. The worst part was the first time I had to be without her for 2 days when she went to her dad's house. I cried all night because that was the first night that I was without her since her birth. Eventually, it gets easier, but the first few times were definitely heart-wrenching and lonely. With time on my side, I realized that it is healthy for me to have those break times away from the day-to-day. At my lowest (and even my highest), I've contemplated counseling so that I can find the words and actions to let my daughter know that this is not a typical nuclear family and that's okay! I've told her that even though me and her dad didn't work out, that we don't love her any less. If anything, she has doubles of everything (birthday parties, holidays, homes, beds, etc)." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1490640148713-EZAQ3WVJ3MSZ9HNC6SOH/image-asset.jpeg Studio Tala - Tammy and Allie "At the same time, Allie's dad and I have tried to maintain a good co-parenting relationship. Don't let anyone tell you that co-parenting is easy, because it's not. We've had our share of arguments and disagreements, highs and lows. But ultimately, the key to co-parenting success is communication, understanding, and a shared realization that Allie's needs go before ours." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1490640173861-7WLJT0KRUCS213MA62FS/image-asset.jpeg Studio Tala - Tammy and Allie "When Allie was a baby, I started a private Tumblr for her so that I can share it with her when she's older. This is mostly re-blogs of positive messages and notes, personal journal entries written by me (chronicling milestones like her birth, her first steps, and the day me and her dad split), and songs that remind me of her. To this day, I find myself going back to it when I need a pick-me-up, words of advice, or even just a reminder of who I do it for." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1490640230380-XZLX16JCFHVO63RQ1HVO/image-asset.jpeg Studio Tala - Tammy and Allie "Some days are definitely rougher than most, but definitely worth it when I see what an amazing young woman she's turning out to be. And never forget that it definitely takes a village. I'm blessed for family and friends who have become my backbone, whose support have made me much stronger than I thought I would ever be. Ultimately, hard times build strength, grit, and perseverance. And most days, I'm frustrated, tired, and drained. But honestly, I don't think I'd be half the mom that I am now if I didn't become a single, working mother." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1490640324488-BSOYTIHZV24JOE0HAK09/image-asset.jpeg Studio Tala - Tammy and Allie "I've also realized that, at the end of the day, it's okay to want to take a break from parenting. Parenting is a tough job. It's healthy to give your partner their break as well as to take yours. If I was still married, I would probably think that I would need to be by her side 24/7. But now that Allie gets to spend a few days out of the week with her dad, I find myself relishing that time to unwind, catch my breath, grab dinner with my girlfriends, and come with a fresh perspective the next time I pick her up for Mommy + Allie Days." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1490640428108-JSY12A54BVDXUYQAWOJY/image-asset.jpeg Studio Tala - Tammy and Allie "I'm determined to give Allie as many experiences and adventures as her growing mind and little feet can take, so these are some of my on-the-go staples. I like to look for backpacks that I would like to carry too since, let's be real, I'll be the one carrying it. Ha! We've currently been toting around the camo backpack with white polka dots from Herschel. There's always extra clothes, hand sanitizer (this foaming one is from Babyganics and smells like oranges), and band-aids on deck, just in case. Since Allie's tastes change so quickly, she's also always carrying different forms of entertainment from coloring books to action figures to bubble wands. Right now it's Vader's Little Princess book by Jeffrey Brown and her Little Jellycat bunny that I bought for her when I was pregnant (she's born in the year of the rabbit). Luckily, she's into a lot of the things I'm into and she's a lot older now, so we don't have to pack much." https://andyviernes.com/studio-tala/2017/3/13/wendy-and-ollie monthly 0.5 2017-03-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1489428290082-45EZ90GRKJBZT2JMKR8I/image-asset.jpeg Studio Tala - Wendy and Ollie "When I was pregnant with Oliver, I was so excited because I had this idea that I would be this cool trendy mom with my baby in one hand, coffee in the other, and we would be conquering the world together! Boy, was I ever so wrong about that idea! The first 6 months were incredibly difficult and far from the life that I had envisioned." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1489428341920-77PQUJI8BIDGOYNAQTA7/image-asset.jpeg Studio Tala - Wendy and Ollie "I felt tremendous pressure from breast feeding and I had a hard time producing enough milk.That made me feel like a failure of a mom. I mean, could I just get a break, I prayed. Giving birth was already hard, but why does breastfeeding have to also hurt and suck (no pun intended). In addition to the daily struggle of breastfeeding, I felt as if my life was stuck in "groundhog's day", in which every day would literally be the same day, rotating among feeding, burping, changing diapers, and attempting to get my baby to sleep, all in 3 hour cycles over and over again. Could I please get another break? There was no time for me to sleep and I was so exhausted. Honestly, at that time, I thought my life was going to be just that for the rest of my life without an end in sight. I felt the blues." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1489428421389-676LSLS58EWO2L5ZJBW2/image-asset.jpeg Studio Tala - Wendy and Ollie "Thankfully, with prayer, patience, time, and the support of other moms, I was able to get out of that negative thinking and find the joy of motherhood. Being a part of this "motherhood club" is very special. It means so much to me when I receive love, advice, and encouragement from other moms, or let's just say whenever us women support each other without any judgement. I was able to find strength and calmness in knowing that other women have gone through similar struggles and everything will be OK. Things will get better and they did." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1489428465047-MXKZZ4YHRNOYY92BAS8I/image-asset.jpeg Studio Tala - Wendy and Ollie "Going back to work after maternity leave also helped me a lot. I love my job and returning to it helped me find balance in myself. I felt sad and horrible about leaving Ollie in the beginning, but I realized that I can still be fully present and love my child while being a working mom. I felt that every moment was precious with Ollie. I found myself being more attentive, playful, and giddy around him because I was focusing in on his unique quirks, behaviors, and tendencies so that I won't miss out! I was soaking everything in and enjoying my new identity as a mom. I think what I learned the most about being a mom is to apply some breathing room and forgiveness to myself when things don't turn out as planned, or as I had envisioned. If you think about it, nothing really stays the same, nor is it truly predictable, with a growing child. I just have to roll with the punches, take things one step at a time, and do my job as mom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1489428673550-OPBP5IAY0GP47LX0PZY3/image-asset.jpeg Studio Tala - Wendy and Ollie "I love Ollie more than anything in this world and being his mom makes me feel complete. Now that he is a toddler, we are just having more fun than ever. We love exploring the city together. He likes to stroll and get coffee with me, and whenever we pass by a Starbucks or Philz, he'll point and say "Mommy, coffee!" with much excitement. He is indeed far from what I had ever envisioned for my life. He is beyond my dream come true. He's my joy, my everything. When Ollie grows up, I want him to be prepared to handle life's ups and downs. I don't want him to give up, and when things don't go his way, I want him to hang in there, try his best, and have faith that God is always near and will carry him through. I want him to know how to handle losses and rise above hardships because I realize that I can't always shelter him from all the bad things in life. I want him to continue to experience a life full of joy and laughter as he does now as a child, and for him to take things easy and just have fun! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1489529789722-CAMFNY6I7GKD3F501KMF/image-asset.jpeg Studio Tala - Wendy and Ollie "Whenever we go out, we always ensure that we bring Ollie's backpack full of the essentials. This Dwell Studio for Thermos backpack is great for many reasons. It is insulated, easy to clean, sturdy, and the cute print is perfect because Ollie is obsessed with transportation, or basically anything with wheels on it! Sun protection is a must. We like Babyganics sunblock stick because it's handy, not messy, and easy to use. Ollie has sensitive eyes and he likes to copy me when I wear my sunglasses. The Babiators are perfect for protecting his eyes and for matching with "mommy". We also never leave home without a travel first aid kit (by MediBuddy in the orange container), a yummy snack, and toys to entertain him. Of course the toys of choice lately are trains and cars, particularly Thomas the Tank Engine." https://andyviernes.com/studio-tala/2017/2/27/sofia-29-weeks-1 monthly 0.5 2017-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1488241017265-MX52SMDY9T33FQWVA5Q9/image-asset.jpeg Studio Tala - Sofia, 26 weeks "Deep down inside I was so ready to be a mother and was excited to see my husband as a loving father. I love kids, I love their innocence. Matt is truly the best thing in my life and I am still shocked that he decided to marry me! Waking up next to him every day is the most amazing feeling. Although initially shocked at how fast we were able to conceive, I am finally getting into my pregnancy groove. I’ve been super energetic which can be attributed to my eating habits and Rainbow Light prenatal pills. I am a huge fan of clean eating. I consume a lot of protein, vegetables and fresh fruit. Prior to pregnancy, I stayed away from dairy, grains and legumes, but I’ve reintroduced those into my diet in order stay full and satiated. I’ve done my best to stay away from sugar and processed foods but definitely (carefully) indulge from time to time." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1488241064530-1APE23QY7QRB2WTV33HL/image-asset.jpeg Studio Tala - Sofia, 26 weeks "The eating habits are not the only thing that changed, I also had to slightly modify my physical fitness routine. I was initially a 6-7 day a week fitness freak. I have a Classpass membership, a gym membership, and a studio membership at Core Society Fitness (focusing on LaGree Method). During my first trimester, I was super lethargic, often sick, and hardly ever hungry. I didn’t have the energy or the desire to work out after a day of work. After week 12, however, I was back on track." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1488241103980-1ES0ZBQKSFKCCF33PY3C/image-asset.jpeg Studio Tala - Sofia, 26 weeks "I continued to run and spin, but became especially obsessed with a high impact, low intensity workout called Lagree Method. The method emphasizes slow and controlled movements to reduce injuries and incorporates all the essential elements of physical fitness such as strength, endurance, core, cardio, balance, and flexibility which was everything I wanted in a nice neat little package. I still do a lot of what I used to, but I’m focused more on maintaining strength, and not trying to set any personal records. Also, on days when im tired, I just don’t do anything. I let my body rest more now than I used to." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1488241151065-T450YOW4L8AC82J19X6Q/image-asset.jpeg Studio Tala - Sofia, 26 weeks "Lastly, my favorite discovery so far has been in the essential oil realm. I had to discontinue my non-pregnancy friendly skin routine. I was using was Retin-A which is proven unsafe while pregnant and breast feeding. I started to reach out to friends to ask about some natural, holistic solutions to skin care for the months to come. A friend of mine suggested essential oils from doterra. I purchased a few that she recommended and was extremely satisfied with the results. The few that I am obsessed with are the following: Frankincense for the face – I’ve been mixing it with my moisturizer and it helps make my skin glow. Lavender – this one has a dual purpose I use this one at night to help me fall asleep, and it’s been known (not proven) to work as a preventative measure against stretch marks.

I’m exploring side projects and figuring out what I’ll do when he is ready to go to school, but for right now I’m taking a friend’s advice to embrace my femininity and softness, do what feels right and not force things. When they’re meant to happen, they’ll happen and there’s no reason to stress yourself out because it feels like you have to be doing 20 million things on top of taking care of your child.

He understands that even though I stay home, it’s not all fun and games and that I’m working as well. I also couldn’t do it all without my mom friends. Some of them I’ve known for years, others I made after Luca was born, and they’re some of the most amazing women I know.

Routine is followed. Healthy meals are standard. Words are recognized as a powerful tool. Rest is valued. We connect to nature.

It was difficult for me to celebrate the maternity milestones because of the lingering fear that something, would again, go wrong. I needed an outlet for my anxiety and I found that outlet in prenatal yoga and in building bonds with other women.

The classes also help me connect with other women whom have had similar experiences. We begin each session with a check-in, during which we share things that are going well in our pregnancy and any struggles we are facing. It felt a little intimidating to be so open with strangers but, after a few classes, I began to find relief in connecting with women who have had similar experiences to mine." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1483990451807-MGXAAVX9GKQD1479JNOD/image-asset.jpeg Studio Tala - Whitney, 32 weeks https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1483992981052-KBD69AS144DDEM2SROZ2/image-asset.jpeg Studio Tala - Whitney, 32 weeks "Through these classes, I realized the importance of bonding with other mommas, so I made it a priority to do so at least once a week. I facilitated a group of expecting mommas at my office, through our internal social network. I joined a group on Facebook called Ask Chicks, which is a fantastic forum for moms and moms-to-be to ask questions, give advice, and share stories. I also tried to stay connected with friends who either have kids, or are expecting. Developing and maintaining meaningful connections with other women has been critical to the peace of mind I've achieved during this pregnancy." https://andyviernes.com/studio-tala/2017/1/6/christine-and-gabe monthly 0.5 2017-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1483733344956-8HEE0ZDFSA7C6AXCVPIQ/image-asset.jpeg Studio Tala - Christine and Gabe "As a first time mom I went through several struggles but when you see that cute little face, as cliché as it sounds it really does make all those struggles worth it. But I must say a struggle that did get a hold of me the most was putting my creative outlet aside. I was an on/ off fashion blogger and found that I was finally gaining attention with my IG and blog. It even peaked during my pregnancy as I documented how I dressed my baby bump with my audience being other fellow mommies looking for maternity inspiration." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1483733454852-4UU8OXPVZHUF69YN9IHZ/image-asset.jpeg Studio Tala - Christine and Gabe "I wouldn't say I've gotten over this hump as I'm still "a work in progress" as I like to call myself- lol. Nonetheless as I mentioned, just one look at his smile, one hug, one kiss and putting anything/everything aside was definitely worth it. But as the saying goes "things will get better" and now that he's older I can attest and say that it's true and I'm able to find myself again. I still have an itch for blogging as itwill alwaysbe my creativity outlet. If anything I just have a new look in life that doesn't necessarily involve the newest trends. Rather I find myself dressing chic while staying comfy so as to chase a toddler around (no more heels everyday!), finding places to go that's kid friendly (no more brunches with all you can drink mimomas!) With this new look on life I plan on documenting it all and everything in between just to show that life doesn't end when you have a kid but begins a new chapter in your life." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1483734990598-HIRHKHL2FMTCH9YHVXNG/image-asset.jpeg Studio Tala - Christine and Gabe "There are so many things we want for our kids. What I want for Gabriel is to never give up on his dreams.

He ate everything, loved to take naps, communicated early, and was the best traveller. We started trying for a second child when he was four, and after a couple of years, we went the IVF route to help us conceive. Nobody tells you this in the beginning, but IVF can be an extremely lonely path. The physical and emotional toll it took on me was difficult to talk about, even with my closest friends. When someone would ask me how I was doing, I would say I was fine. But I really wanted to say, I’m feeling miserable, thanks for asking. I miscarried after our first try, which was a blow to us all. We tried again in the Fall and now, I’m past my first trimester and although I’m grateful that we were successful, I haven’t quite let myself enjoy the pregnancy. That’s the thing about IVF and a past miscarriage—after you go through both, there’s a lot of trepidation, even when faced with good news. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1483511015332-XJE7E1KE3WXRNOQBTZWX/image-asset.jpeg Studio Tala - Cathy and Lucas "What’s helped me embrace joy a bit more and let go of the fear is journaling and reading the work of teachers from our great spiritual and literary traditions: Pema Chodron, Mark Nepo, Naomi Shihab Nye, and Mary Oliver. Pema says that “fear is the natural reaction to moving closer to the truth.” And if I’m being really honest, I’m afraid of not being able to give Lucas a sibling to share the world with, to move through life with. I want so badly to give him that, and to give me and my husband the gift of raising another child in this incredible world we live in." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1483511307855-2EXIHY4IMBZQ8HZ107L8/image-asset.jpeg Studio Tala - Cathy and Lucas "Lucas helps me peel away that fear. I see how he tackles new challenges at school with care and sensitivity, how he goes through life playfully. The other day, when we were bathing, he just kissed my belly, unprovoked, and hugged me tight. He’s become one of my greatest teachers, and no matter what happens, I think I’ve still won the lottery in life because I get to be his mom."   https://andyviernes.com/studio-tala/tinaandrory monthly 0.5 2017-01-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1483417578702-ZXDZ50LNUAOBUI568SWQ/1.jpg Studio Tala - Tina and Rory https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1483417576218-9AYXZ412AD43PVY4SQ1L/5.jpg Studio Tala - Tina and Rory https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1483417589079-5OMPYQIJLU8XH02E8LUL/8.jpg Studio Tala - Tina and Rory https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1483417674605-HRTU5RGVEYQHPOIWI858/3.jpg Studio Tala - Tina and Rory https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1483417679511-D8BDYU120QRMPSXF89DH/9.jpg Studio Tala - Tina and Rory https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1483417813790-95BJ2NDD07S6AR1U95K2/image-asset.jpeg Studio Tala - Tina and Rory https://andyviernes.com/studio-tala/tag/mothers monthly 0.5 https://andyviernes.com/studio-tala/tag/pregnancy monthly 0.5 https://andyviernes.com/studio-tala/tag/blogger monthly 0.5 https://andyviernes.com/studio-tala/tag/bay+area monthly 0.5 https://andyviernes.com/studio-tala/tag/family monthly 0.5 https://andyviernes.com/studio-tala/tag/motherhood monthly 0.5 https://andyviernes.com/cinemagraph daily 0.75 2017-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1494622306207-E3WWGHL9WANM0YC9DCU8/BellSprinkles.gif Cinemagraph https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1494622306207-E3WWGHL9WANM0YC9DCU8/BellSprinkles.gif Cinemagraph https://static1.squarespace.com/static/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/59161fa7cd0f688b418b12a2/59162008ff7c5049eacc95bc/1494622216540/ Cinemagraph https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1494622226946-BH90O1HLS0CYZ7J1X9FR/Espressograph.gif Cinemagraph https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1494622416355-4EIV0GB2TELPMBZ1SLV6/birdyBW.gif Cinemagraph https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1494622419108-RUP8LNGBB3B975TZNFAR/Cakemagraph.gif Cinemagraph https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1494622452461-RJH67NWZFUOKCYNF9G57/image1.GIF Cinemagraph https://andyviernes.com/work-carson daily 1.0 2025-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1696027000938-JOUOX4M4GQG2JU1WTU8I/av.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1696031923828-FTLNGY26R1FBJ6YBWU5E/DSCF9039.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1614136515695-IXZTUKGTPUHPRZAHWJF3/DSC_3019-Edit-2.jpg Home https://andyviernes.com/about daily 0.75 2017-09-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/583cad87d1758e46ff25a477/1481268883684-0QYIIWVW2B35T4J8FWEU/IMG_0223.JPG About https://andyviernes.com/clients-carson daily 0.75 2025-06-10
