Blessed to have had repeating clients year after year, since I started my business back in 2011. Yet, this creates a challenge for me. How can I push myself creatively to bring my clients something different? In this particular case, I came to photograph one of my favorite families ever. I am mostly in love […]

Fine Art Portraying 2020 Quarantine Feelings was the idea behind this personal session. No words to express how my heart races when I see these pictures. Quarantined for 3 weeks, and these boys teach me day after day how to be a better person: their emotional IQ is high, and I am not sure if […]

Playing around with Underwater Photography for the first time. A few days ago I had to describe my ideal client to a Digital Marketing consultant. I told her that I keep getting hired by my ideal client over and over again, mostly through referral and social media organic reach.  The magic sauce to my shoots, […]

A few years ago someone googled “Almaden Valley Photographer”, and my name came up.  She called, we talked, and a random estranger became a client to me. To be my client means that you are part of my life, and that I am part of yours. Even it if is for that brief time I […]

When you open the doors of your house, you are equally opening your heart to me. And the same way, I open my heart and arms to you, and give you a big hug. Inside my head, I thank you for your trust. You have never met me before, and yet you let me come […]

Joy is not something that finds us, but something that we create; and my 2018 couldn’t have been more truth to this statement. I am so grateful for your love and support (my readers, my clients, my friends). XOXO Now I will record some words of love for myself, to look for in the future: […]

Before I start writing, I change the music. I need to feel inspired. Paper Kites is now playing. I need the words to flow from my heart through my keyboard for you to read. I need to look at the pictures I created to be able to tell you my story about them. As a […]

Even though I am an Almaden Valley based photographer, I travel almost on a yearly basis to Toronto, Canada; where I once grew roots. I lived, worked, had friends, and had family there. Those roots keep me coming.  And I am so lucky to have the opportunity to photograph families while I am in town. […]

When posting images in my blog, I often look for a song that could inspire the words that I will write. Because I am creating a soundtrack to the images we created together. It’s not just about posting the images for you to see them; but also about the emotions I strive to evoke when […]

Another favorite San Jose At Home Session on the books, for this Almaden Valley Photographer. This gorgeous family’s first and only son was turning one year old, and to celebrate, they invited me into their home to photograph their family. When I asked the mom why she was hiring me, and she said… “I just […]
