Just For Fun

I took some time off from photographing full time... I took two years off straight-away from photographing and then I did two years dabbling in different ares of photography just for the fun of it. Time to get back to what I love... Photography! Although I work full time in the corporate world I still enjoy photographing. It's nice being able to take jobs as they come and to photograph when I want to.

So I'll be back to blogging and sharing with all of you my new adventures.

A little behind on my BLOG

It's been a long and hot summer so far. I've come to realize that I'm not much of a blogger. It's really hard to blog with all the other responsibilities I have. BUT... I'm gonna give it a try in the next two weeks and see if I can get caught up. I hope everyone is having a nice summer!

Steven "Mets" Pictures

I took pictures of my son Steven yesterday in his Mets uniform. I was trying to get him to smile for me? Finally after saying to him a million times, smile Steven he said to me "Mom there's no smiling in baseball pictures". He makes me laugh and SMILE!

Camacho Wedding

The Camacho Wedding! Two very sweet and genuine people. Elsa & Wence had a beautiful wedding in February at Sun City Grade in Surprise, AZ. They have a very loving family who I have gotten to know threw out the years. I feel so privileged to be the family photographer.

Baseball Time!

OK it's been a while since I updated my BLOG. Spring is my busy time of year. Both in Business and in both my boys sports. We have Baseball of course and then Football training right after for both my boys... Let the fun times begin.

Steven and Allen's Baseball! I love Baseball (Go Dimonbacks) and getting to watch both my boys play Baseball is even more so enjoyable to watch. Steven is in Little League and his team is the "Major Mets". Allen is on his high school baseball team, (freshman) "Kellis Cougars". Yes... I'm a proud Mom!

Michael & Erika

_______________Erika & Michael________________

This past weekend I went to the Carefree Resort & Villas out in Carefree, AZ to photograph Michael & Erika's engagement portraits. I love going out to the Cavecreek/Carefree area. It has such beautiful landscapes and that small town feeling I love. My oldest son came alone with me for the drive. We stoped at a few shops and had some fun just walking around. It was so nice.



Erika and Michael are great people and I'm so excited to photograph their wedding day.

Me and my Husband!

I love this picture of me and my husband. It's very rare he wants to take pictures! He's just a shy guy? But I love him dearly. Funny... he's married to a photographer? Ha!

What a wonderful experience I had recently. My nephew got married on Jan 9th, 2009. I was a guest and the proud Auntie, but I was very much involved in the whole process. My nephew Anthony and I are very close. Anthony and his sister Rachelle and his older brother Gus Jr were pretty much my first kids. They grew up with me being in the front row in every stage of their life. For me this was a very special event. His wife Wai Wai and I grew close and I just love her so much. This really has shed a new light on photographing weddings. My good friend Chrys Poes photographed the wedding for me. That was a treat because I knew my nephew's memories were in good hands and I was going to be able to relax knowing she was going take care of it. As always she delivered and the pictures are beautiful. Looking back on the images were so much fun and brought back all the emotions of that special day. Chrys captured moments I don't remember seeing or perhaps it was because I was to busy at the time to notice. How wonderful it is to have such wonderful memories to continue to look back on. I've always known how valuable preserving these type of memories were, but more so now than ever. The little things and the little details matter so much. I love every single image Chrys took.

Special Thanks to..............

Chrys Poes at http://www.poesforthecamera.com/ Your an awesome friend!
