Three words... Twilight: Breaking Dawn

The time has finally come...and I'm soooooooooooo excited!!! Twilight: Breaking Dawn is finally here :)

I wanted to catch the midnight showing, but I knew that I might have fallen asleep. Edward deserves my full attention :)

I wanted to catch the first showing, but my niece would still be in school.

* That little boy is excited about my growing collection :)

Luckily, it's a minimum day for her so we get to watch it right after she gets off. Bonus points because it's still a matinee showing.

Hope all you fellow Twilighters/Twihards/Whatever the name is enjoys the new movie. :) Are you Team Edward or Team Jacob?

Time to pick up the niece. :)

YAY!!!!

Fun times ahead

Hi everyone! It's been a little while. Hope everyone is doing great :) I have been doing a lot and I can't wait to share.

Since last, I have my new website up and I love it!! Thanks to Photobiz for having easy to use templates. The hard part was choosing the photos and where to put them. :) And thank you to all who are in the photos. You all are beautiful and I'm happy that you were a part of it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

So I know it's been a while since I photographed this wedding, but I never got around to posting it on my blog. (Don't worry, I'm totally working on being a blogging machine soon, thanks to Brand Camp and their Unboring Blog Camp. If you're new to the biz, or need some refreshers to your business, check them out. They're awesome!)

Anyhow, I had the honor of being one of the photographers at my it guy's wedding. Ha, ha...not the "it" guy, the "IT" guy. :) He and his wife are fun people to be around and they are truly meant for each other. Know why? Because he's Chris and she's Chrissy :) See, meant for each other.

Enjoy their summertime backyard wedding, located at a private rice estate in Marysville, CA.

And here's their heartfelt video. :)

Midnight showing

It's almost midnight. Are you ready???

Ready for what you may ask? The premiere of my new website, silly. :) Yes, I've been working hard on it and now it's time to premiere it. And what's a premiere without a trailer?

Well, it's not really a trailer, but a preview to the premiere. Ha, ha, ha....

Can you tell I love the photo? :)

Have a great night!

Season Premiere...

I feel like a television show, coming back from a break with new work. Quite a few things have happened: more sessions, new photos, new logo and so far a new blog. I hope you all enjoy :)

Today I will be featuring Luis and Adela's wedding. They tied the knot last month in Brentwood, CA. I always enjoy my time in Brentwood as my family and I used to live there. That was the boys' first home, so it always has a place in my heart. :)

Because I'm not much for words...just yet...please enjoy the video below of their day.

Thanks to the following vendors:

Church - Immaculate Heart of Mary

Reception Hall - St. Anne Catholic Church - Community Life Center

Luis and Adela, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special day. It's truly an honor and I had a great time.

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! :)
