This post is for the girls and the awesome times we share! I value my friendships. I would not be the same if I didn’t have my girl time. We laugh, we sing and we dance 
It’s what we do! I love it, especially on days like these… 
Sometime we laugh and sometimes we cry, this is why we love country music 
Meet the Larios Twins, sweet boy and girl twins. Arianna and Aiden. They are perfect, healthy and beautiful. They are so loved and blessed, but their arrival has blessed everyone around them. A lot of the time my clients think I’m the one giving them a gift because I’m shooting their lives during moments they want to capture. This is true, but I feel I’m the one getting a gift. Adriana and Fred definitely make me feel lucky! I’m seeing their life together unfold, but I also get to capture it. It means a lot to me. I’m extremely excited for them and even more so for little Freddy who now gets to grow up with his baby brother and sister. Oh the fun they will all have!
Adriana and Fred, I think I speak for many when I say it is truly enjoyable watching your love story unfold. XO!
Recently I second shot a wedding with a talented photographer, Monica Martin. When second shooting a wedding, usually you are the photographer that has never met the couple or know their love story. When I met Crystal and Eddie I was instantly excited, they were both so warm and friendly. I just loooooved their FIRST LOOK, the anticipation and their sweet moment. They are definitely smitten and in love! The guests at the wedding were all so happy to be there and witness this beautiful union. I will say I have never seen such a good-looking group of people at a wedding. It was a party to remember, this group knows how to celebrate and I really think Crystal and Eddie had exactly the wedding they wanted and more. For me it was definitely one to remember
Every year March brings reflection to my life and this year was no different. I scheduled a session with Ala to learn about the business part of photography, I went to Jasmine Star’s The FIX and I celebrated a birthday. From all of these things individually I learned the same message. Do what you LOVE! Go after what you want, don’t wait for change, struggle will exist, but there is no point in living a life that makes you unhappy. Every birthday I try to focus on what changes I may need to make in my life. I look at birthdays as the New YEAR of my life, a chance to make it better than the last. I usually celebrate mine for like a week, but this year it was a quiet birthday. For those who know me know this is rare, but I wanted it this way and although it was quiet I want to remember it because my life is changing. I want to remember when I was happy, nervous, scared, laughing, crying and breathing during all these uncertain moments of change. I feel like I may not have a direct path at the moment, but I am trying, really trying to adapt to the unknown and for this reason I want to remember this time.
Growing up I had an idea of what my life was going to look like at this age. Chasing dreams, finding a new passion, changing careers or a job, being a mom, owning a home, living in the perfect little city would all be things that I had done by this time. What in the heck! Was I crazy? Although some of these things have already happened, how boring would my life have been if that were all behind me at this point? AND are we ever too late to be chasing a dream or finding a new passion? No! Why I had that idea I don’t know. I love my life and how Ivan and I are living and planning our dreams despite what others may think. So as I continue to unfold this path there is one thing I want to preach and repeat in my life, it is simply to be happy. No matter what changes, no matter the outcome… always go find what makes you happy. Be comfortable with being uncomfortable to find your direction… LIFE is way too short and I truly believe there is no TIME to wait for things to change or just happen. This month was a great reminder of all of all of this!
I know I am bit over the top about life; I’m just passionate about it. I love LOVE. I love to learn about people. I read the Daily Love everyday for heaven sake! BUT this is what makes me, me. All I can say is I thank God my husband adores me for it or so he says
Cheers to a new year of life! To living happy, accepting the unknown and making things happen. OH and having MORE fun with the camera…

They travel, they teach and they are in love. These are things I love about Debbie and Daniel. I was actually pretty jealous of all the traveling they have done (a happy, take my on your next trip kind of jealous). If you want to travel consult with them, believe me they can help. They are just so perfect for each other! I just love how apparent it is. Debbie is sweet and kind, the girl you just want to open up to because you know she will listen. Daniel is funny, a guy’s guy, but totally sweet and into his girl. I loved every minute of their engagement session getting to know them, even the moment when Daniel told me pictures was not his thing. Guess what happen after that… Um I made this his thing and by looking at the pictures you would think he does this every day . All he really had to do was love Debbie and that was very easy for him. THEY ARE IN LOVE and it showed as I took their pictures.
D & D, as I like to call you two, can’t wait for your big day!!! XOXO!
