Family + Style = Love

Let me introduce to you one very cool family that I {{adore}}. This is the fifth time I've had the luck of photographing them. It all started when the youngest girl was in mom’s belly and now she’s 3 yrs old!

This year they wanted something different so we went urban style…. definitely not your typical family session. Oh, and their clothes totally matched their attitude: fun & hip!!

This image shows their personalities perfectly...

Last year I had to chase around this little girl in order to get some images of her. What a difference a year can make!!! She even posed for me during some shots! So there is hope for all you moms out there that have a "Speedy Gonzalez" at home :o)

:: Akemi ::

Just a quick post to show off my niece Akemi (okay, she's my 'great' niece since she's my niece's daugther but I'm not ready to be a 'great' aunt so for now we'll say she's my niece :o) )

And you may ask why does she look Japanese? Well, my sister married a Japanese guy so my niece and nephew look very Japanese too and not Mexican at all! I took these quick photos when they came to visit a couple of weeks ago to see my mom. Isn't she ADORABLE?? I'm so in love with her!

:: 2007 Sessions Update ::

This time of year is the most crazy time of year for me as you all know. However, this year has been the craziest!!! The demand for my services has been awesome! As much as I would love to book everybody that contacts me, for now I have to say no more sessions for 2007. I think I booked more than I should already.... so if you see the dark circles on my eyes increase it's due to lack of sleep. I love it though! I love this time of year because I get to see the same people from last year and I get to meet new ones. The weather is also perfect for outdoor sessions. What more can I ask for?

Most of my work comes from word of mouth so I appreciate all of you that have referred my services to your friends and family. The other part of my business comes from clients that have found my website on the internet. In the past years my website didn't show up on ANY internet searches...since I fixed a few things here and there, now I come up on the first pages for most searches.

I've been SO lucky that I have not had to pay for any advertisers. I would not be where I am without your kind words. I tell all my friends and family that I have the best clients in the world! By the end of the session you feel like close friends to me. Thank you!!!

:: Another beautiful family ::

Can I say that I LOVED photographing this family? I have so many awesome shots of them and it was very hard to decide what photos to post. What a difficult job this is! hehe! Everybody was super easy to work with and they were up for whatever. I love it when families trust me and know that I'll get great images of them.

I'm also digging color photos these days. I still LOVE black & white images don't get me wrong. But there is something about color images this season that I just can't convert them to B&W. What do you think? Do you prefer color or B&W?

An outtake that turned out so cute! hehe!
