A Fairytale Couple

From the storybook princess hair to the nice suit-Beau and Heather had it all. This wedding was a delight-magical, detailed and a lot of fun. Beau and Heather have been a couple since high school and have now formed a union together before all. Their wedding took place April 4th and it was a lovely celebration.
The moment I met Heather I knew she was those type of girls that just grew up dreaming about their wedding day. Heather and Beau arrived at our meeting place and Heather was so ready, so prepared with her Wedding Planner Guide and her notes. I admired the enthusiasm that was gleaming through her eyes. She was determined to have a wonderful wedding and there was going to be NOTHING stopping that! Beau on the other hand played a "perfect husband to be" role...calm, cool and collective. He was going to do anything to make his bride happy...what a great guy, I can tell he's going to make a fabulous husband.
So in all this, Heather got her dream wedding and Beau got his dream girl! Now the two are happily married as Mr. and Mrs. Bishop! Congratulations Heather and Beau-you two are fabulous people. I could tell by the way you treated all your guest that you are people that deserve great things in life. I wish you the best...and thank you for allowing me and trusting me to photograph such a beautiful and important day!

Tami's Senior Pictures

Well it's amazing how time fly's. I can't believe that Tami is already a Senior. Karissa and I were discussing Senior pictures for Tami and I'm thinking you know sometime next year or so, not knowing she graduates in month or so. I was somehow thinking that I just got out of high school just a couple of years ago (like two or three) but when I took account, I realized I have been out of high school for 7 years!!! Pretty insane how time flies. Well Tami looked amazing in all her pictures. I loved how her photo shoot turned out because we did so many shots with so many outfits and it was quite fun. She's got so many great characteristics and we just had to portray them in the portraits. We chose to incorporate two of her passions in life as well which are dance and church. It was fun and Tami looked amazing. Congratulations Tami on your upcoming graduation at the WONDERFUL South High!!!

Adrianna's Pregnancy

Well, Adrianna has been my hairdresser for a long time. Probably one of the only people who would be able to put up with my type of hair and my constant hair changes. Adrianna looked so beautiful. I had the honors of meeting Jose for the first time and Jose is a super wonderful guy who I can tell is going to be a WONDERFUL Father. Congratulations to the both of them. I do have to mention that the baby's room is gorgeous and that the little theater thing that Jose built around the baby's TV was absolutely adorable-along with the baby's chandelier that had pink crystals falling from it-WAY CUTE! Well Adrianna it was such a pleasure taking your pregnancy portraits, I hope and pray that you will forever cherish them. Thank you again.

The 3 Gorgeous Zetino Boys

So I received the privilege of photographing my beautiful nephews once again. Gosh they are getting so big. JJ-so strong in stature and so fun and "cool." Then there's Nathan who has gotten so big, so fast (the kid is 7 months for gosh sakes!)-with those amazing eyes. My mother in law left today to El Salvador and wanted a picture of all her grand kids in one photo so that she can show them off to all the friends and family in El Salvador. Karissa also wanted to take the boys' Easter pictures-so we simply took care of it all at once. The boys looked adorable in their matching outfits. We definitely needed quite a bit of help-thanks to Karissa's grandma and my wonderful husband who only had 3 hours of sleep in order to help me-we got the job done. And thanks to Karissa of course for being such a trooper and taking the boys out there despite of a recent surgery. During the photo shoot I sat the poor kids right in a pile of ants (I will forever learn to make sure there are no critters around before I sit kids in the grass/you'd think that was a "no brainer" right?)-my son being the one that got bit the most took it like a trooper-they all did actually. I'm sorry my babies...tia/mami is sorry :-). But in the end...here they are, the three GORGEOUS ZETINO BOYS.

The Couple I Will Forever Call My Friends

On February 28, 2009, I received the privilege of photographing a beautiful couple. The moment I introduced myself to this couple I felt as if I already knew them. Nicole and Allen are a very special couple who happened to meet in the Corrections academy and have a BEAUTIFUL baby girl who Allen says is "so cute because she's mixed (inter-racial);" and I totally agree-she's beautiful. Photographing Nicole and Allen along with their pleasant families was like photographing my own family. The details, the ceremony, the reception was just phenomenal. I also must applaud the wonderful maid of honor who I believe did a fabulous job of keeping things in order (hurray!). It was really hard to keep my composure through the very beautiful and emotional speech of the father of the bride. It was a very memorable wedding that I will never forget. I still continue to brag on how amazing it was seeing the bride sing with the mariachi, along with the maid of honor and the matron of honor whom also sang in the same mariachi group. And how Nicole knew that I enjoyed a particular song and had the mariachi sing it just for me-THANKS NICOLE. Again Nicole and Allen, thank you for the privilege of photographing one of the most important days of your life. I know now that I have forever found friends in the both of you and look forward to seeing Nicole sing with her mariachi group. God bless you both.
