Angelica's Quince was very special and sweet. It was a perfect day with amazing clouds in the sky. I love that she was wearing silver converse and wanted to include her basketball. It truly represented her perfectly. She was so much fun and was up for anything we wanted to try.

My all time favorite shot! A perfect hook!

Friday Photo Bliss/Birth Story/Modesto, CA

2010-09-17T08:32:00.000-07:00

Happy Friday friends, this weeks Friday Photo Bliss is my newest client. On Tuesday the 14th I received a call from the expectant parents that labor was in full swing. Let me just say I panicked! I believe I felt more nerves than I did when I was in labor!
I was like a character in one of those movies; quickly jamming everything in my bag, speeding and passing cars and running into the hospital not wanting to miss a moment. Once inside in the waiting room, I took a breath and decided to take the opportunity to organize my bag and make sure everything was in place. That's when I realized that the worst thing that could happen, happened. Somewhere from the car to the entrance to the hospital my Memory Card case and fallen out with my cards (for those of you who do not know what a memory card is, it is a photographers film). TOTAL PANIC MODE!
After tearing up the car and re-tracing my steps the cards were gone. What to do, what to do. I jumped in my car and drove like a mad woman back to the studio across town. Got my extra cards, and zoomed on back.
Once back and calm, it was amazing. I feel truly blessed to have been a part of this moment and being able to document the moment in which life came into the world.

This week my Friday Photo Bliss is Ms. J. This little girl is fearless, and as much as she drives me crazy some days she is truly the apple of our eyes!

She knows EXACTLY what she wants and is not afraid to stomp and scream until she gets it. In this indecisive world I hope she never loses her drive.

Happy Friday All, may you have a wonderful weekend. OXOXO

St Stanislaus / Forgiveness

2010-09-04T11:48:00.000-07:00

This past Sunday when we walked in to church we were shocked to find out that the church had been vandalized the night before. It makes me so sad to know that these people came into a place of worship to destroy. Who does this? It is so senseless. All of the lady statues of the church were destroyed.

Father Ramon has asked us all to forgive, and pray for these troubled souls.

Forgiveness often the hardest pill to swallow!

This weeks Friday photo bliss is thanks in part to the Escobedo Family and the newest addition, Little Baby Anthony.
Walking into their gorgeous home and looking around I saw our images everywhere. It brought me such pride to know that we have been a part of the milestones in their life from their engagement (shown behind them), their wedding, maternity, and now their newborn.
Thank you guys for allowing us to be a part of your lives!

Inspired by Rita from www.coffeeteaphotography.blogspot.com who was inspired by SouleMama blog's {this moment}, I am going to post one image every Friday, taken that week, that makes me smile.

This week it's my 3 year old and Thomas. I fought tooth and nail to keep this train and all is little friends out of our house since Jake was born. I'm not a fan. Well this is one where I seem to be losing the battle.

Jakob loves Thomas. He loves the trains, the train table, the desk, the puzzles, the coloring books, all of the tracks, etc...Slowly this train is taking over!!

I love watching him play though. I love when he makes voices and situations for his friends. This truly makes me smile. I hope his imagination will continue to thrive, and he never stops playing.

Happy Friday, hope you have an amazing weekend!

This week we went up to Knight Ferry for an engagement session. We are looking forward to this wedding Melissa and Luis met at Rico's Pizza when they were still in High School! They fell in love over pizza. We are super excited for October at Evanshire Garden.

This image truly made me smile, it looks like they are sticking their tounges out! LOL!

This one just makes me smile because they are so cute! =)
