Color anyone?

I love black and white photography -- the candid feel of it is so alluring to me. But this weekend, my little doll and I went over to a dear friend's house and played with her new gorgeous green chair and blue wall. The colors were so vivid!

And after playing with so much color and experimenting with different textures, this is what I got! Enjoy..







and wow -- how can you say 'no' to a mushy face like this?



and I couldn't resist -- I just love how candid this moment is..

great friends...

The one thing that I love most about living in the Dallas area is all of the wonderful friends that we've made. They essentially are our families away from home. We celebrate with one another, share with eachother and help one another through any changes that life brings us -- good or bad. And we feel so blessed.

This next family is considered by us, The Guerra's, as great friends. We both share a love for photography and have girls that are only two months apart. We get together every so often for a family fun photoshoot and it's a win-win situation for both of our families. Last Friday we got together for our first indoor studio photoshoot. Here are some of my favorites...











And I wanted to share a couple that they took of us. They do beautiful work! I've been wanting a studio portrait of my family for a long time, and now I have the most perfect ones...

the good end of the deal

So Omar made a deal with me -- he cleans up while I blog his latest wedding pictures. And I think I walked away with the better end of the deal! I love doing this stuff and I hate to clean, although I'm an admitted neat freak.

Here is some of his latest work. This new venture of ours has just brought along so many learning opportunities. Our style is evolving especially with our wedding photography. Omar's work hits a more artistic point with every wedding we shoot.

The next ones are amazing. I loved them when I saw them. They truly define our style of capturing moments from your wedding day and turning them into pieces of art that you will cherish always.

Enjoy!

Beautiful baby girl

I just love newborn sessions. And I was lucky to end off my holiday vacation with one. This sweet baby girl was only five days old and loved to sleep -- undisturbed. So after rocking and soothing her back to sleep after each new pose, we were able to get very sweet images of her. Here's a glimpse...

Last Saturday, I had a very sweet mother-daughter session. Both mother and daughter are absolutely beautiful! Here are a few images from their session...







and I can't help but to say, "What a face! Just gorgeous!"

Another beautiful family

Everyone in the valley has been so kind and sweet to us. I just love the clients we've been able to meet during the past two and a half weeks. Here are a few images from another very beautiful and sweet family we met last weekend. I just love the candidness of the love they share for one another -- because as you all know, I just love candid moments!
