This is probably my all-time favorite picture of any picture I've taken and I love it even more because it just so happens to be my oldest son. I've been wanting to get this picture blown up huge-a 24x30 on a fine art gallery canvas. So I came back to it this week and played around with it. I wanted a more dramatic feel to it because I always felt like I had never done it justice. I am really pleased with the way this one turned out and I can't wait to get it printed (along with my baby's Sweet 16 newborn collage)!

capture the smiles workshop
Posted in events
I'm starting a really exciting workshop especially for parents in which I will teach you how to better photograph your children. If your kids are anything like mine, it is a struggle to get a good picture that I feel reflects who they truly are. In my workshop, I will teach you tips and tricks to get those beautiful pictures while still having fun. This workshop is not intended to be a photography course and I will not cover any technical stuff. It is a one-time 1 hour course in an intimate setting. I will present and teach the information during the first half-hour and the remaining half hour will be left open for questions and discussion. The cost of the workshop is $25 per person. I will be reserving spots for the first workshop soon since the space is limited (max of 10 people). If you are interested in having an exclusive workshop for your mommy's group or for your friends & family, let me know. Please contact me with any questions.

the studs
I just have to laugh since these "studs" are my cousins. They are handsome boys with great personalities. We had a great time walking the streets of downtown El Paso posing for shots. They even got whistled at a couple of times! I came up with a name for them since they are always together-Adriel. It actually the dark haired's senior pictures, but since we didn't do the blond one's last year, we decided to do one for both. I know they're really anxious to see their pictures, so I posted a few so they could see (even though they already raided the camera to see all the pictures right after the photo session was up). Hope you enjoyed being the center of attention for an hour and a half! You guys really worked it. Thanks for being such awesome boys! (Oh, and warning to to girls-stay away! I can get pretty vicious.)

When I walked into these client's home, I was pleasantly surprised-after all, it's not every day you see a house like this every day. They had a beautiful atrium to greet guests that had tropical plants, a little water foutain and a quaint iron table and four chairs, two of which where retro yellow 60's chairs that I loved. We had a fun time during the photo session, especially when their 9-month old nephew joined in a few shots and when their big Lab dog came to play with them for a few shots. Thanks for being so patient with me guys, even when I had the sickies!

baby sweet 16

baby sweet 16
I'll be introducing some new, exciting products this year. This one is a beautiful baby collage similar to the Kissable Block, but larger with interesting patterns and colors. It is 20x20 and you can get it mounted on the standard styrene board, or on a box frame. For a truly stunning look, you can have it done on a fine art gallery canvas wrap. This is sure to be the perfect addition to your baby's nursery. I'm getting one done for my baby in a canvas wrap to remind me of how tiny and fuzzy he was when he was a newborn. I can't wait to get it! Also available for baby girl.
Like I said, I will be adding fresh new products in the following weeks. Also look for a new website and more exciting changes!

I finished proofing the pics from my last senior and thought I'd share some more. I did a different finish on them and I'm really liking the effect-an edgier, urbany feel that's great for senior pics.

handsome boy

handsome boy
This is the time of year where I have the most fun. I love it since it's senior pictures time. They are so much fun to be with. They are old enough to carry an intelligent conversation, yet still so childlike and playful. This senior was not exception. We had a really good time and some good laughs.

fresh start
fresh start
Welcome to a brand new year! I hope you all had a beautiful holiday season surrounded by loved ones, lots of yummy food and fun presents. I know I did. I'll have to say the highlight of the season was breaking our Christmas star piñata with all of our little munchkins. It was precious seeing their little faces as all the endless candy came flying down!
I'm excited for some new changes in the business. The main change is that all pictures will now have the linen finish and the protective spray for the same price as the regular pictures. So basically you will get more quality and the same cost.
Since I took a bit of a break to be with my family, I am posting some pictures that I took in the fall of last year. This is my beautiful aunt and her family whom I adore. The boy is graduating this year and I can't wait to go out and have some fun with him while taking his senior pictures. And what can I say about my gorgeous cousin...and she's only 14. Boys, I'm warning you-stay away from her!

what i've been up to
what i've been up to
Warning-the following contains picture overload! If you're curious to see what I've been up to these past few months, here you go.
It's seriously been such a blast! The best part for me is meeting new people and trying to figure out their personalities to try to capture that for them. It's a challenge and that's why I love photography! So let the pictures begin!
