Loloma is my cousin and a recent middle school graduate from Loma Linda Academy. The last time I was in Southern California I made sure to take some photos of my pretty little cousin so she could send out some updated photos with her announcements. I have a feeling that this year I may be doing a whole lot of 8th grade graduation sessions.
Thanks Loloma for showing me your smile! Good luck in the 9th grade!
Love ya, fam!
What about your oldest daughter? Olivia? Is the question I’ve been getting lately. Well, she’s still here. She’s still sassy. And sometimes she likes to steer clear of my camera. But on this beautiful day in Santa Barbara, she decided to do some smiling for me with her newly missing front teeth. Love her.

Just like her mama!Nellie Guererro and I met last year. Here’s the thing, we both live in Tracy, literally 2.7 miles away (I just Mapquested it, I’m for real) but we met in (wait for it), Concord at a San Francisco East Bay Smug Mug meeting, about 60 miles from our city. How funny. And even after that we didn’t get to know each other until after some late nights in Las Vegas a few months ago at WPPI Convention and Trade Show.
Nellie and I are both wedding photographers and so any mixer or gathering that has to do with wedding photography peaks our interest. Nellie has a lot of connections. She surprises me every time she mentions that she has had coffee with so and so, or is on so and so’s e-mail list for second shooting. Amazing. She likes to socialize. Not too long ago she texted me and asked if I wanted to be her +1 a book launch party for Grace Ormonde (Wedding Style Magazine publisher)’s book titled “Being in Love Never Goes Out of Style.” I cannot begin to explain the extravagance of this book launch at Jade Studio Productions on Treasure Island in San Francisco. The food, the champagne served in glasses made out of ice, the male models (eye candy for sure), the couture wedding gowns on glamorous women, luscious floral arrangements in every corner. And I didn’t even bring my camera and so my dinky iPhone images will have to suffice. And if you want, go see some awesome images on Grace Ormonde’s blog as well!
Thanks, Nellie for the invite! Where are we off to next?

Before school got out for the summer the weather was pretty much phenomenal. It was perfect. We could still get away with wearing a sweater until the early afternoon. Gotta love Northern California for those mild days.
Love this series of images of Olivia pushing Ella in the swings. Check the determination on Olivia’s face in frame two and then peep Ella with her eyes closed in frame three. Remember doing that as a kid? Closing your eyes on the swing so you could feel like flying. Love recognizing these moments!
Have a good weekend!

I head the pleasure of hanging with little Mr. Carsen and meeting little 10 day-old Ashton not too long ago. Big brother Carsen and little bundle Ashton are perfect little boys! Carsen was not into me being all up in his face with my camera at all. And little brother Ashton was more interested in staying awake instead of falling into that perfect sleep mode that makes it easy for me to do my job. But you know what, we worked it out. And these little boys will see me again soon!
Have a great weekend, friends!
