Zoe & Milissa ~ Just Because! {San Jose, CA}

Posted on February 20, 2010

I love Zoe & Milissa. They are some of my bestest friends! They are each awesome individuals but together they make a perfect couple!!

They are one of those couples that that really get it. They know that a relationship isn’t just about “me” but about us!

Another reason I love Milissa is because she is my awesome hairstylist! She Rocks- she always makes my mop look perfect!! If you are looking to change stylists I highly recommend her. You should give her a ring! She’s over at Plan Be, hair salon in downtown San Jose. They recently even added nail services! OOOH! Anyways, I think one day I’m going to steal her from Zoe forever so she can do my hair every morning. Zoe watch out. Although Zoe is pretty handy too! He’s not only a fantastic real estate agent but also a fabulous handyman around the house!

And have I mentioned what awesome parents they are to their four legged kids?! Here are just three of them.

Zoe & Milissa as always … It’s fun to hang out with you!!! I can’t wait until I get to photograph your human kids!!!!

LMNOP… {Hayward, CA}

Posted on February 19, 2010

Now I know my ABC’s won’t you next time sing with me? And sign he does!!

This is my adorable little nephew. I call him LMNOP. His first name starts with an L and his middle with an M so one day i just busted out with the ABC’s tune and made his name sing-songy. Little did I know then that this kid would “grow up” to sing. Sometimes when it gets really quiet in the house you hear his little voice breaking out in song in some other room. {Awwwww isn’t that cute?} OK Auntie moment over. But seriously he is cute!

His hair is long! He wants to be like one of his big brothers who also has long skater kid hair. But LMNOP’s is always in his face!!! It drives me crazy!! Since I know I will always remember that about him, even when he is a surgeon or a big time lawyer (He He) I thought these images of him as such were perfect! This si something I love about doing child portraits – I let them be them! And I never expect them to look like their school pictures.

With spring around the corner and mother’s day/father’s day not to far off I’m starting to book up for these fun portrait sessions. Contact me to book your child’s!!

The below are just a few of my favorite images.

Did I mention he loves Disney’s Buzz Lightyear ( To infinity and beyond!)

Miguel + Elda + Love = Beautiful wedding {Soledad, CA}

Posted on February 12, 2010

This post will be bilingual.Like the couple & the photographer!

Esta historia sera bi-lingue. Como la pareja y la fotographa.

When I first met with this couple I immediately knew I wanted to shoot their wedding and was so excited! Not only are they super nice and great looking but also the bride knew and was born in my home town. As a note if you are from my hometown and you contact me you get much more love. Miguel and Elda were so cute when they were talking to me at our initial meeting. Elda super bubbly and excited. Miguel trying to be cool, but I kept catching him sneaking peeks over at her and smiling each time he did. They joked around a lot too. As they were telling me about their plans for the wedding day, my excitement grew! However I could never have imagined their wedding day would be this beautiful! Seriously a gorgeous couple, horses, charros, a super long train on her wedding dress, amazing music and the yummiest food ever!!

Cuando primero conoci a esta pareja, imediatamente supe que queria ser su fotografa y me llene de emocion. No solo son una pareja super amable y muy guapa, pero la novia conoce y hasta nacio en mi pueblo/cuidad natal. Como una nota, si eres de mi pueblo y me contactas recibiras muchas mas alagos. Miguel y Elda eran tan curiosos al platicar. Elda bien sonriente y muy emocionada. Mientras Miguel trataba de ser muy “cool”, pero a cada ratito yo lo veia que volteaba a ver a Elda y sonreia cada vez. Los dos son bromistas y me lo demostraron. Y al platicarme de sus planes para el dia de la boda, mi emocion crecio! Aunque nunca me podria imaginar que bonito iba a ser el dia de la boda. Una pareja guapa, caballos, charros, un tren super largo, musica phenomenal y la mejor comida!!
