Changes in the near future

It's been a little over a year since I've made photography a business. And what a year it's been. I've learned a lot, made some mistakes, attended some workshops, followed some of the world's most fantastic photographers (well, not followed as in I traveled with them. Follow as in watch/read what they say online :) )

So now that I'm learning more of what I like and not like, I'm starting to think of the future and the changes that need to be made.

With that said, please be patient as there will be changes made to my website, blog, etc. Keep checking back for these updates.

Thanks everyone!!! :)

Waiting for new life...

Pretty soon, like any day now, my aunt will be having her first baby. This is very exciting...for the whole family. :)

A couple of weeks ago I did a mini maternity session with her. It was nice because I've never talked to her in a long time. It was also funny because she was worried about her smile, so she would laugh at trying to smile. Soooo happy that she laughed at herself because those were the best photos...being real :)

Here are the lovely photos :)
















See you soon baby :)

Tomorrow is their big day...

Last month I had the pleasure of photographing Adela and Luis for their engagement photos. They chose Santa Cruz for their location, which I was happy to do because the last time I was there was when I was little. It worked out well because for one thing it was my birthday, and it sounded way better to spend the day in Santa Cruz doing a photo shoot than just sitting at home waiting to go to dinner and a movie. :)

Another reason why it sounded fun was because I wanted to take the boys to the beach. I'll save that portion for another post, but may I just say that they loved it!

Back to the happy couple...

The first portion of their session was photographing around the boardwalk. It was a Saturday, so there were TOO MANY people there. We had to resort to taking photos on the outside of the boardwalk.






The second half of the session was photographed on the beach. This was the fun part :)

Here comes the water...



The splash looks harmless and small, right?


Adela laughing at the water...


Adela's reaction to that harmless splash drenching me with water. :)







Adela and Luis, thank you for that fun, interesting day :) I am very honored to be photographing your wedding tomorrow. Yay!! :)

Hope everyone else has a great weekend! :)
