you find out who your friends are...

It's hard to find the right words to describe what the following two people mean to both Omar and I. They are the ones who were waiting for us at 2AM the night we arrived home from Dallas almost two years ago ready to help us unload, the ones who were always there to lend a helping hand at our photography expos, the ones who stayed up helping us paint and unpack as we moved into our new home. I could go on and on. And every time I hear the following song, I think of them...

"Run your car off the side of the road
Get stuck in a ditch way out in the middle of nowhere
Or get yourself in a bind lose the shirt off your back
Need a floor, need a couch, need a bus fare

This is where the rubber meets the road
This is where the cream is gonna rise
This is what you really didn't know
This is where the truth don't lie

You find out who your friends are
Somebody's gonna drop everything
Run out and crank up their car
Hit the gas, get there fast
Never stop to think 'what's in it for me?' or 'it's way too far'
They just show on up with their big old heart
You find out who your friends are

Everybody wants to slap your back
wants to shake your hand
when you're up on top of that mountain
But let one of those rocks give way then you slide back down look up
and see who's around then

This ain't where the road comes to an end
This ain't where the bandwagon stops
This is just one of those times when
A lot of folks jump off

You find out who your friends are
Somebody's gonna drop everything
Run out and crank up their car
Hit the gas, get there fast
Never stop to think 'what's in it for me?' or 'it's way too far'
They just show on up with their big old heart
You find out who your friends are

When the water's high
When the weather's not so fair
When the well runs dry
Who's gonna be there?

You find out who your friends are"

J.R. and Rena, you have both proven time and time again that we can always count on you for anything. We love you. Congratulations on your newest addition. We can't wait to meet her...

the Casas

I spent Saturday afternoon photographing the Casas family and their beautiful girls. I had so much fun with them! Despite the chilly weather, the girls were just dolls to work with! Take a look at some of my favorites...

The Wedding of Carlos & Vanessa

It seems like only yesterday that we started off on this photography venture. And in looking back, our passion for what we do has not faded, but instead, has gotten stronger with each client that we meet.

Omar captured the wedding of Carlos and Vanessa a few weeks ago. I'm always anxious to see what he brings home for me to work on and like always, he did not disappoint. As I reviewed the images, I thought to myself, "wow, how I wish we had images of our wedding like these". It makes me so happy that we can give this to our clients -- beautiful memories that will last forever. It's just one of the things that keeps us motivated to always be better than yesterday.

Here is a glimpse into their special day...



























until next time,

Happy Birthday Little Sis

My little sister, Cristina, was born when I was a sophomore in high school. Back then, I used to think "wow, she'll be 15 when I'm 30!". That seemed like a million years away, and now, I find myself only one short year away from that! How time flies! But no matter what, she'll always be my sugar-booger. (yea, I'm sure she'll appreciate that! hehe)

So her birthday is tomorrow, and she asked for her own little urban-glamour shoot as her birthday gift from us. Here are some of my favorites..we love you!

The Wedding of Isaac & Rebekah

Two weeks ago, Omar captured the wedding of Isaac and Rebekah alongside fellow photographer, Eric Sierra. Isaac and Rebekah were a dream to work with -- giving Omar as much time as he needed to completely capture the emotion of their wedding day. Here are a few of my favorites...
