DSAEP Calendar!

2011-01-26T17:00:00.011-05:00

For the past two weeks I had the honor to work with DSAEP (Down Syndrome Association of El Paso). I was approached by the vice president of the association (Trish) and she pitched the idea of making a calendar with children who currently attend DSAEP.
I was excited to get started and participate! But most importantly I was excited to help this non-profit organization bring a calender together to promote awareness and support! This experience has been so delightful. Special thanks to Trish for organizing and making these photo-shoots possible.
So I leave you with a preview of the calendar....

So when she told me she need a 2nd shooter for the first of the year I was all for it and ready to go like a new years hat! lol I been working with her for a long time now and it seems that we are getting really good about not being in each other pictures we are very sneak like that! But this time I just kept on shooting I knew she was going to come out of her hiding place sooner then later and taaaaddaaa! there she is! haha!

Life is Good!!

2010-09-16T15:58:00.004-04:00

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is bliss, taste it. Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, LIVE IT!.

Hair Cuts

2010-09-16T15:33:00.002-04:00

Ok so my kids were over due for a hair cut! but they look so darn cute with long hair. I think I might just go back to letting them grow out their hair. That is, if Daddy doesn't object lol!

The ROBOT

2010-06-23T10:45:00.003-04:00

So, I decided to play with my camera and just have fun, when I realized I love taking pictures of people and I needed a subject. So my baby boy said, "Mom I will take pictures if I could have chocolate" so I said DEAL!!! We went to the store and bought chocolate muffins and brownies and any thing to do with chocolate lol! I let him have his chocolate and here are the results! I must say as hyper as he was, he was a really good sport and very patient!
So from this I realized that indeed you can use your flash along with available light provided and make the pictures look as natural as possible every picture above here has flash. I love my flash! I was alway was so scared of my flash being to noticable and to in your face flash!

The Herman Family

2009-10-11T19:21:00.006-04:00

So here is a little sneak peak of The Herman Family, I had so much fun with their photo shoot. This family had so much energy, I had to post several of my favorites. Of course I had to start with one of my absolute favorite one. This first one just made me crack up. I was shooting and I always have couples kiss for a more romantic touch. Well in this case as soon as I said that mom and dad kissed and it was funny how their kids at the same time said EEWWWWWW! and I had to get those silly faces.

2009-10-11T19:19:00.001-04:00

Funny faces that keep my day going!

2009-09-21T16:43:00.005-04:00

So I sit here for hours on end editing and posting pictures online for our wonderful costumers. But, I can help it to take a break and spend some time with my wonderful kids, who at times can make me go bonkers! especial when I have to meet a dealine lol! But I thought I would just share what I see from my computer chair. These funny faces that make my day, and keep me going. I am grateful to be a stay at home mother and have an awesome job that allows me this time with my kids.

Okay so this is my nephew Alex he normally has this beautiful curly hair but today his mother and a stray hair got a hold of him and decided to straighting his hair to see what he would look like. Well, he likes the straight hair because it has lots of movement, but I think in the end he loves his curly hair more then ever. lol

Graffiti

2009-07-03T22:11:00.003-04:00

Well today, I took the kids kinda site seeing for possible future photo shoots. So, I ran across these really cool graffiti murals, and I thought let me test them out and see what they look like on my camera and, I personally think they look cool, but I had to go a little further and test portrait style with my silly brother and this is what I ended up with, so I move along to some one that will let me take pictures (my son Ayden) and yet I hit an other silly one that was too busy checking out the paintings. So I had no option then to move on to my little one that absolutely loves the camera and I was able to get some good shots. I can't wait to have and actual photo shoot here lol.

Well today I was kinda bored and the sun finally cool down so I took the boys out for a walk and we came across this beautiful field of sunflowers and I started to take pictures of sunflower for the fun of it. As I was occupied in taking pictures my kids disappeared into the tall field of sunflowers and I was able to capture this cool shot of them admiring nature.

Best wishes to Michael & Ryan!

Well here is something I haven't done, take pictures of cars. Well, I should say my son Ayden was the one taking the pictures I was just helping him adjust the camera and find good shot. But most of them where his ideas. We had a great time, and I think he did a great job for a 4 year old and mom on his back. lol

2008-07-28T19:57:00.005-04:00

I hardly ever take pictures of my husband, (he won't let me)but I like these shots I got of him, it really shows who he is, and of course tired. But his expression is what I really like. I can tell he had a lot on his mind and need a minute to unwind from work to dedicate time to us.

We only part to meet again.

2008-07-25T15:59:00.007-04:00

Well, I just recently took a photo session of this couple and now they have to say their good byes to eachother. Due to Army relocation, both are relocating to diffrent places to follow their dreams. I wish them both the best and hope all their dreams come true. But just remember, "The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be the beginning."

Crossing People's Paths....

2008-07-19T11:04:00.006-04:00

I took this picture while my family and I we're driving to a Army family function. I thought "Oh cool picture!", But while I was uploading this pictures to my computer I realized something that I have always thought was amazing. Crossing, the crossing of people's paths. As I took the picture it was a quick second and in a quick second I saw this trains path, though I didn't know where it leads to, I knew it had a destination and a path to follow, Just like most of the people we meet in our life. We see them, we meet them and we talk for a quick second about future paths. Some times we meet people we really like to be around and sometime, just sometimes we will try to follow their path. Some times we meet people who have touch our life's in such wonderful ways and ultimately change our lifes and our paths for the better good of ourselves. I am a person who believes in "Things happen for a reason". So when we meet people, even though we don't know it yet, there is a strong reason why we meet them, why we cross paths. It might be that we met each other for the smallest reason, but with the biggest out come. There are also those times where some people cross our lifes to teach us. Teach us how to be better people or how to be better parents, better students, better teachers, better lovers, better thinkers or simply better at loving ourselves. To all the people I have met in my life I have to say Thank You! for making me the person I am today.Thanks for tagging along, making great memories with me and teaching me new things I still practice. So when ever you see a crossroad signs think about the people you have met and the thousands of people you are about to meet, because we are like a train, making our own track in life taking people along with us until their stop has arrived, and perserve those memories for a the long journey ahead.

Morning Sunrise

2008-05-07T07:42:00.000-04:00

Children are amazing and show you the most amazing things on earth, I took this picture while on a spontanous family trip to Nags Head, North Carolina where we had spent the night.

So, at six o'clock in the morning, my son wakes me up and tells me he wants to see the water again before we leave, I really didn't want to get out of bed, but I smiled and said "okay we will go see the the water one more time" and like always I grabbed my camera.

As I walk toward the beach, my son ran toward the water and I stood there and took a moment to soak up the beauty of life. I saw how every little detail was made to perfection, how someone so powerful took the time to create beauty, joy, fun and happiness to perfectly come together, and with my camera I was a able to capture one of those moments in life where everything is just perfect.
