Summer Flowers

June 1, 2010

This past weekend when I went to my parents house, I couldn’t help myself to taking a million photos of the flowers they have in their front yard. These beautiful hydrangeas were just blooming everywhere! The amount of different colors within a single bush was incredible…these totally looked fake. My husband told me that it has to do with the dirt that they are planted…that the more acidic they are, the more different colors it gives. A cool little fact though..it is much easier to change a hydrangea from pink to blue than it is from blue to pink. Changing a hydrangea from pink to blue entails adding aluminum to the soil. Changing from blue to pink means subtracting aluminum from the soil or taking it out of reach of the hydrangea. Neat huh? Well, I have consider taking a flower decoration and/or gardening class.

Anyways, have a great day and enjoy the Sun because its the SUMMER!!!!!!

Cinco de Mayo!!

May 10, 2010

I had the pleasure to photograph the Cinco de Mayo party al the Burro Loco this past week! It was amazing!! It was definetely an excuse for locals to come out and have a few drinks….there were a few bands playing, good food and fun people to photograph! My friend Elise contacted me to come out and photograph this…she knew I was the girl for this job! I loved it and can’t wait till next year!

enjoy these!! they are fun photos!

I loveeed this!!

ahhhh...refreshing!!

Thanks Elise for recommending me!! I loved shooting these!

yummy!!

These guys have been coming to this party for 10 years now!

There were tons of people there! I took this from the roof

this is a Mexican stand off! lol

I have been incredibly blessed to have become a mother! It was about 15 months ago, when I started the experience of  motherhood with my loving my child …I love him in a way that I did not think it was possible! One main thing that I feel that I have learned is that this baby of mine, is an actual person that has needs and wants. Knowing what he wants at times is all but a guess! This has been a beautiful experience where there is something to be learned everyday….I do have an amazing husband who helps me and supports this household like no other. The job of parenthood is pretty much 24/7 ( except when he sleeps!) Thank God for naps, right?! But all in all, we’ve been given a wonderful little boy who is pretty much ready to take in the world…yep…he is a pretty adventurous baby! He started walking at about 9 1/2 months, meaning that WE were literally chasing him all over the house at crazy speeds! Now, he runs, kicks the ball, climbs stairs and boy, if you take him to the beach…! Actually, we went last weekend, and although the water was still really cold, he kept running to go back in the water…

I know I have my hands full with Miles, and I have to admit that at times, its hard to manage this household, meeting clients, hanging out with friends, phone calls, emails, blogging, exercising, and overall having a social life…this job of being a mom is the most rewarding one of all! After a long, crazy day, all it takes is a little hug or  a kiss from this baby to make it all better.

With that being said, I have to say that I admire all the mommies in the world, who have inspired me! Specially my own mom! Happy Mother’s day!!!

isn't he beautiful?!
