Cody, Ryan and Gracie

I had the pleasure of spending some time with THREE wonderful kids. I was told that Gracie is pretty SHY with strangers and to even ask to stay still for pictures, you wouldn't believe it here in these shots that I captured. She is such a sweetheart.

The photoshoot was to capture some School pictures and a present for Dad, for Christmas.


Gracie, at end, kept asking for pictures. Oh but so did Ryan. Actually Ryan was "directing" a POSE that the three of them LOVES to do at home. I captured that, but I will post later.

Thank you Cody, Ryan and Gracie for such a GREAT time!

Mae: M-session

Meet Mae. I have had the pleasure of doing a Maternity Photoshoot with her, at the Beach. She wanted "serene" and I hope I captured that for her. Her husband didn't want to be in the picture too much. This was shot back in August, therefore I am sorry for the delay in posting.

I look forward to shooting more Maternity Photoshoots.

An Intimate Wedding in November

First of all, I would like to thank my friend, Kalena [my makeup artist] for referring this WONDERFUL couple to me.

Here we will start this blog with the Beautiful Wedding Dress that was just perfect for this Intimate Wedding in November. The weather couldn't have been anymore beautiful. The Wedding was held in Murrieta, on Natalie's Mother's Ranch. BEAUTIFUL house and land!!!!!










Natalie didn't wear shoes, therefore this is the SHOE shot for the night. Both Natalie and Steffen couldn't keep their "toes" from playing "footsies".....









The Bouquet was compliments of Kalena [which is a good friend of the Bride and Groom] Isn't it absolutely Beautifully arranged?










This was the Reception setup, in the beautiful backyard!!!












And, here is Natalie the stunning Bride!!!


















Introducing Natalie and Steffen!!! I wish you both the BEST of LUCK in your life together.





































This is my utmost FAVORITE shot I captured.

Natalie and Steffen, thank you SO much for allowing me to join in the celebration of YOUR life together. It was a VERY beautiful Wedding Ceremony/Reception!!! The BEST of LUCK to the both of you and the family.

Invidiual Potraits/Headshot

So, this is Raquel. She came to me looking for some "Commerical and Theatrical" headshots. We shot last Friday, and had such a blast with her headshots. Looking through the sets of photos we took, we were both happy of the outcome.



































This is Mercy Lamar. This is my Hip Hop Photoshoot. Again, Mercy was such so much fun to work with. Nothing but a laid back attitude. You might want to check out his music

Ok, so this is B-Boy. We both can appreciate Ne-Yo's look and character. Therefore that was the "theme" here. Sophisticated Hip Hop. You can find him, definitely, on the dance floor, dancing away. Btw: ladies, if you are SINGLE and wants to meet a "down to earth" gentleman, then he is the one!














Thank you Raquel, Mercy and B-Boy. It was such a pleasure working with all of you. I hope you get what you are asking for from these photoshoots!!!!

M.I.A.

So sorry that I haven't posted anything new up here. I have had a couple of Individual Portraits Sessions, that I need to POST. Now I have my SECOND Wedding on Saturday, November 8th, I am a pretty busy gal. This is what I have been asking..hehehe..

So be a little bit more patient, and I will have more to post soon.


Happy Halloween to everyone! Please be safe!!!! Drivers be on a LOOK OUT for the children crossing streets.

Frances and Phillip are married

Frances and Phillip were married in the city of Montebello, CA on October 4th, 2008. They were referred to me by a mutual friend.

I was given a great opportunity as this was my FIRST Wedding Shoot. Thank you for trusting me with your Wedding. I had SO much fun as they were such a beautiful couple. But the bridal party made it so easy for me to capture the shots that I did. Both sides of the family were just so nice. Frances' Grandmother, sweet as can be.

I will post up more in a couple of days. I couldn't wait to post these two.




















































Aren't these shoes "beautiful"? Wait until I post her Wedding Dress....I saw these theater chairs during the Wedding Rehearsal, then I saw the shoes on the Wedding Day, and they belonged together....








Both Frances and Phillip are big fans of the Dodgers. I thought it was perfect to place their Wedding rings on top of the flag. Something different from the "flowers" and the "candy" so when I saw this, I was excited.








This shot is the FIRST DANCE as Husband & Wife. In the background, it is France's Mother who I caught watching them dance together.

Meet my FAMILY

So, I had the great pleasure of taking some pictures of my Family since my Mom and my Son/girlfriend came up to visit us, on the same weekend.

Our eldest daughter was not feeling well, but what a "good sport" she was. She knew how important the "family photoshoot" was to me. Way to go, Kei. Thank you.



So here, I noticed how our youngest daughter was POSING.....and everyone buy Thuy looked. Nothing better than those "candid" shots...it tells more about the picture, in my opinion.









So, as you can see, our son, as usual, loves to
clown around. That is why he doesn't look his
age. His visit was GREAT!!!! We had lunch
before we headed to the park for this mini-
photoshoot, and he has us laughing...














So during our lunch, Cris and Thuy mentioned that they have
been talking about their Wedding. They have made a list of
things.....so we asked them, have they set a date. They replied,
"oh the Wedding will not be for quite awhile." Laughing. So I teased them, ok, well at least we have time to practice on your E-session. Here is ONE of them. Again, the clown in my son. Thuy is SO freaking lucky. Well, he is too. Then they both agreed [what the heck] that I will NOT be their Photographer for the Wedding, but they will hand out "disposable camera's" and they will use the pictures from that, for their Wedding Album. They wanted to make sure that I enjoyed the day. I disagreed with them. Laughing. Then they said that they will not have Donald be their D.J. either. So I asked, will you guys be playing from an iPod? LAUGHING...

























My wonderful Mother. Mother who carried me for 10 months and raised me majority of my life. My Mother who raised me the best to her abilities. I think I turned out pretty good. Hehehe.

Playtime: September 2008

Such a beautiful sight, huh? A Mother on the same level as her child. How precious is this, huh? They grow so fast, the years go by so fast right before your eyes. If you can actually enjoy the moments you have with your child like this, it creates such beautiful memories.
