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.

My New Blog

I believe I should start with an intro of some sort. Welcome to my BLOG. In here you will find updates regarding new portraits and photo shoots. I will be discussing my experiences in the weddings and events that I photograph. In a way showing you a photographer's point of view. I will also be posting specials and coupons for holidays and such. I look forward to working on this blog. Thank you.
