Ryerson Family | Sneak Peek

Yesterday I met my co-worker Kerry and her adorable son and daughter in a beautiful secluded area in Rancho Palos Verdes. I was speechless! It was very easy to photograph the Ryerson family since they are very social and absolutely giggly. Kerry is such an amazing soul. She brightens a room like a coloring book. I've never seen her grumpy. She even laughs after having oral surgery. LOL! Kerry, thanks so much for allowing me to document these moments! Your family is absolutely beautiful!

Hayes Family | Sneak Peek

OMG! I'm so blessed to be given the opportunity to document memorable family portraits! I'm officially in love with my job! :) I get to meet adorable families, mingle, act goofy, and pass along family keepsakes that will be forever treasured.

Meet the Hayes family! My friend Robin convinced her sisters to allow me to capture pictures in the beautiful outdoors versus a studio. I was thankful for this opportunity and I'm hopeful that they will LOVE this brief sneak peek. Mr. & Mrs. Hayes, it was a pleasure meeting you and your adorable family!

Sanchez Siblings | Sneak Peek

This past Friday I photographed the Sanchez Siblings. Their aunt Marcy who I've known since my college years is the proud aunt of these adorable sisters. Marcy is the sweetest person ever. She wanted to surprise her brother with some photo calendars and portraits of the girls, but due to one thing or another, she was forced to tell him what was going on! :( The good thing is that he will not know how adorable these pictures turned out until he opens his Christmas gift. I just absolutely LOVE girls. Maybe b/c I have one of my own?! Marcy, thanks for trusting me with this wonderful session. Looking forward to the creating the collages you're wanting! XOXO

Montoya Family | Sneak Peek

Most of you have seen the Montoya’s before. This time around they had a complete family photo shoot to prepare them for the holiday photo cards I will be creating for them. As always, they are so much fun to photograph. I’ve seen both these adorable bambinos in the womb! I can’t believe how time has flown. Yamoe & MoeMoe, hope you like what’s I’ve captured. Love ya!

Location! Location! Location!

My brother is like my dad! The father I never had. I am very proud of him. He was always my mothers right hand. He had to grow up so quickly and provide for my siblings and I. Ever since I can remember, he's worked hard for what he wanted. I am so proud of him! His life is his family and HOME! He is so proud of his new place. He's completely done a make-over and let me tell you, his home is BEAUTIFUL! I've been using the front yard in particular for photo sessions. They've turned out so beautiful b/c we have a bit of everything. I told my friend I'd post these pictures since she's having her family photo session this Sunday...I absolutely LOVE my brother!

Moseley Photo Session | Sneak Peek

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm wishing you all a great Thanksgiving day around your loved ones! This year I'm thankful for another healthy year around my family and friends. It's been another difficult year to go through without my mother, but God has always given me strength to go through my days with peace. Wishing you all a safe, joyous, and happy eating day! Gobble! Gobble!

This past Sunday I photographed my friends family, the Moseley's! These two adorable munchkins were so well prepped! Every time I said cheese, they just looked at me and smiled from ear to ear. Rosa and Jason, thanks so much for trusting me and allowing me to capture great memories that you will forever cherish. There are tons more to come!

Castellanos Siblings | Sneak Peek

This past weekend I photographed the Castellanos Siblings. Baby J was a whole 2 weeks old. He was super tiny. It's hard to believe that my pumpkin was once this small. But baby J was even tinier than expected b/c he was a month early. Mommy and Daddy were obviously surprised with the early arrival! Big brother R is super sweet with his baby brother. It is evident that they will both grow close together and bond and fight like siblings do! Mr. & Mrs. Castellanos, thank you for allowing me into your home. Congratulations on your adorable family and I hope to capture future milestones.

Visit soon as I have several sessions to post!

Portillo Siblings | Sneak Peek

This past weekend I photographed my friend's newborn niece. She was a whole 5 days old, tiny, adorable, and just absolutely precious! Her big sis was not a happy camper. In fact, she was experiencing jealousy, but who can blame her?! She now has to share the love her parents have to offer. Big sis did NOT allow herself to be photographed near her baby sister. I was however, able to capture some innocent shots. Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Portillo and thank you for allowing me to enter your home. Bibi, a big kiss to you for helping me coordinate this!

Mia & Chalks

Sorry if I've over done it with my little girl, but I can't get enough of her. This picture was taken today while she was outside our home desperate to use these chalks that I had to hide from her (she has too many already). I sometimes wonder if I was the same way she currently is - Loud, stubborn, hilarious, and fun! Then I stop and think, this is currently me! Little Mia is so spur of the moment. She may be really happy now and upset the next minute. I can honestly say the hubby and I are experiencing the terrible 2's! Will things get better???

Today I photographed my good friend Bibi's newborn niece. A sneak peek will be up by the end of the week. Don't forget to come back and check! ;)

Medina Holiday Session | Sneak Peek

Today I photographed my eldest nieces children. My little niece and nephews were HILARIOUS! When one was slouched, the other was over doing it with the posture. Then we would finally get them all together, and their laugh attacks would begin....All three had my niece and I entertained. I LOVE THESE MUNCHKINS! They are absolutely adorable! Maria, thanks again for working with me with such a short notice. Looking forward to receiving my Holiday Photo card :) Love you guys!

Quintero Family | Sneek Peek

Last week I had the privilege of photographing my co-workers family. I knew she was into portraits as soon as I saw her office full of her children's photographs. They are evidently adorable! As mom put it, her prince is such a "ham" and her adorable princess is a total charm! Mr. & Mrs. Quintero, congratulations on your adorable family. I hope I was able to capture these keepsakes that you will forever cherish!
