So I have a son that is less than a month away from being 16, which means I never get photographs of him. He fights me tooth and nail and even with snap shots he will make faces just so I won't like it. Well last week he finally said I could take pictures of him. So yesterday we went out and spent the day together and I was able to get a hand full of images of him that I was in love with!!! Obviously, he didn't allow me to take the amount of images that my daughters do, but I am ok with that because he actually cooperated with me and didn't fight me every step of the way. Any way, I hope you enjoy finally seeing images of my handsome son as much as I do. Have a great day!!!

I hope everyone had a Happy and Safe Fourth of July and are enjoying the holiday weekend! My family spent the day just hanging out and enjoying time together and tonight we went and watched the fireworks show!!! We always enjoy watching the fireworks! If you have an extended weekend enjoy your time with your family. Here are a few fireworks pictures...they are just ordinary snapshots but I always love seeing them :)
 
Meet Juan, Patricia, Wendy & Pepe! These are four of the most awesome kids I have ever met! We had so much fun and shared so many laughs. They were also the most polite and respectful group of kids I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I adore each and everyone of them.

Meet Charlotte & Victor. Charlotte is the mother of one of my daughter's friend. I do not usually photograph weddings but I was honored when she asked me about doing them. It was a very small ceremony at the court house with just a few close friends in attendance. We then went to the park where most of the portraits were taken. It was such a great day (although a hot one lol), you could tell how much they loved\ each other and how much he adores her children. I have to admit I loved how informal it was because there was zero stress and everyone just had fun! I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.

So starting this website and Blog is my first step to actually achieving my dream of owning my own business. I have worked for others for years in studios but I was always missing something. I was missing myself in what I was doing because I had to do what I was told to do. I didn't have the enjoyment of truly getting to know the clients and I was never truly able to photograph creatively. 
I have two passions when it comes to photography, portraits and landscapes and starting my own on location business I can combine the two and create something magical. I love photographing my clients in the beauty that we are surrounded by and not limited to backgrounds. 
This is a huge step for me and I have never been more nervous as I am right now over doing this but I have faith that this is the path I am supposed to be on in life. I hope you enjoy my work and enjoy watching
