Breakfast

I have to say, since purchasing my iPhone 3Gs (yes I'm a little outdated), I love Instagram! Anyone else? This morning I decided a healthy and balanced breakfast was in order. I wish I had more of these moments throughout the day, but hey, a girl has to start somewhere. I don't know why I have such a hard time with food and eating healthy. Greasy, fatty, sugary foods are just YUM! Moving on... a little fried egg in olive oil with Sriracha, whole wheat toast with a little butter and low-sugar jam and half a grapefruit. Cheers to a great day everyone!

Lifestyle Photoshoot

My model, my friend - Sharrese. Isn't she gorgeous! We did some gorgeous shots, if I might say so myself ha down in the southern part of San Jose. The day started off with a lot and I mean A LOT of low fog. I actually thought that would be pretty cool for some of these shots giving it a smoky, sexy look to them. After a couple of hours the fog raise and the lighting couldn't have been more perfect.

I'm official!!

Well...I'm official! I've created my own website finally and it is LIVE!! I have to say it is sooo scary and so exciting to put yourself out there. I'm looking forward to my future in this industry and to making lots of people smile and enjoy their photos for years to come. I can't wait!!!

Enjoy!

Hardie Family Pictures

I love this family. They are caring, giving, funny and always willing to help. Winnie and I were pregnant together, suffered together and ate together. Her daughter and my son are exactly two weeks apart. I tell you it couldn't be a more perfect situation. Once our babies go to sleep, we take turns once a month to watch each other's child and go out for a date night with our husbands. I love you guys and thank you for everything you do for us.

This was like magic for me. I'm sitting outside of a North Beach restaurant on a gorgeous day in SF (winter? HA) The cutest dog checking things out. I loved the colors on the table and the black and white of the dog and of the tile floor. The funny thing, a dog passes him. He does nothing. The dog is a few feet from him and then he decides to bark. The other dog was large, I might add.

Hand in Hand

Hand in hand they walk through the alley of North Beach. Probably on their way home with shopping bag in hand. You can see the strength these two have together. The long time love and commitment they have to each other. Then my mind just wanders from there. Trying to guess what their lives were like, how they met, how they fell in love. What IS their story?
