The smell of the aloe vera and vitamin E enriched sunblock lotion woke me up while I prepared to get ready for the day. As I slathered the thick lotion all over my face I closed my eyes for a moment and I went back in time. To parasailing over The Arch, zip lining through...

A Truck and a White Couch
As I finished getting ready I begged Eddie to ask my dad about the truck….we had finally arranged a day we were all available to take the much overdue family photo and I was running late. Of course. And I still hadn’t mentioned anything about the truck. Or the couch. Obviously I over complicated everything...
Sandra and Justin
When my mom used to take me shopping to find a complete outfit for a special occasion I always made sure I found the perfect shoes first. We would walk around the mall carrying a bag of shoes holding them up to different outfits to make sure they matched before purchasing anything. She would always...
Monday Sneak Peek
If every weekend was like this past weekend, I’d be ok with it. Actually, I wouldn’t just be ok with it, I would jump for joy and celebrate every week. Monday through Friday. I mean, what else could I ask for other than a family who drives me crazy but keeps me sane at the...
Alicia and Joe
I always have to do plenty of editing when it comes to what I write on my blog. For those that know me personally, this isn’t a shocker as I always have a few words to contribute. Not one of my best qualities but I’m a work in progress. It’s rare that I don’t have...
Time Change
Usually I’m really positive about things like Monday(s), Spring, sunrises, new months and new seasons but this whole time change thing? Totally not feeling it. Not even a little bit. I know I’m supposed to love it because the day seems longer and for photographers it only means we have more time to shoot in...
WPPI Recap
Yes, it felt a lot like high school. Where everyone wants to be friends with the popular kids and no one else, well, matters. Where parties and name dropping left and right are the things to do, because well, everyone else is doing it. But just like high school, WPPI(Wedding and Portrait Photographers International) is...
Back to Reality
They are six months old but they look brand new. They’ve been sitting in the corner of the room for a long time, collecting dust and cat hair. But at least they travel with me. I take them to every single trip I go on, from Los Cabos to Las Vegas, but they don’t make...
Avoiding WPPI
I postponed packing for as long as I possibly could. But it’s not like that’s any different from what I usually do, I always wait until the very last second to gather my things for a trip. I don’t mean to do it and I hate my procrastination issues but this time, it was different....
I’m not dreaming.
For the past two days I’ve woken up with a smile on my face. I lay in bed for a few minutes confirming I’m fully awake to make sure the reason I’m smiling isn’t only a dream. And it turns out I’m not dreaming… I AM GOING TO BE AN AUNTIE! (insert a million exclamation...
