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 […]

Families come in different shapes and styles these days; but there is something quite special about the dynamics of growing up in a household with three boys. I admit, I am bias. I love having my boys. I love the never ending energy that more often than not, drives me nuts;  but then it all […]

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 […]

The season has arrived, and I will be once more hosting mini-sessions this year. I have had families coming to me for over 7 years now, and I can’t wait to see them. Mini-sessions have almost become a “date” I get to have with families that have supported my business and my art since I […]

It’s official, I am declaring a campaign to get moms in the pictures. I think that after 7 years of being in business, I have found my purpose; and that is to bring mothers in front of the camera. I believe in what I preach, and I can’t stress enough the importance of capturing those […]

I dedicate these pictures to the family that took me in as one of their own, when I left my family in Panama, and ventured into a new place that I hadn’t been before.  They have treated me with nothing but kindness, and I am so proud to be a part in their hearts.  I […]

Once again, I had the opportunity to travel to Toronto, Canada this summer, and photograph some amazing families. I feel so grateful for the opportunity to enter into these families’ homes, so they can let me capture the joy inside them. My subjects: a sweet and beautiful stay at home mom, and her three gorgeous […]

You may be wondering why I love shooting at home sessions so much. Don’t get me wrong, I love a beautiful outdoor session with beautiful light, and that has been my specialty for a while; but I think that at-home sessions allow for a certain authenticity that is hard to accomplish elsewhere. You are in […]
