You would think with child # 2, you would have everything down. NOPE. Max is soooo much different than Eli. Max takes a bottle and pacifier. Eli didn’t. Max can be rocked to sleep. Eli had to nurse to sleep. Max breaks out of his swaddles. Eli didn’t. Let’s talk about sleep. Max hit the […]
Erica and Rick had their first date at Chico’s Tacos. When she asked if I thought it was weird to incorporate it, I was like, NOPE! Lets do it! KLAQ and KISS FM did an article about them, Couple Uses Iconic El Paso Treat in Engagement Shoot. If you don’t know what Chico’s Tacos is, its […]
HOLY. MOLY. I am 38 weeks and 6 days pregnant. Everyone around me didn’t think I would make it this far because Eli was born 38 weeks and 4 days. Heck.. Everyone swore I would give birth right after our Disneyland trip but NOPE. I haven’t had any contractions yet. Just the usual braxton hicks. […]
Traveling 36 weeks pregnant!? SAY WHATTTTTT!?!? Yep. This trip had been planned for months. Farmers Insurance has these achievement clubs each year and we’ve been fortunate to travel to Boston, Las Vegas, Seattle, Calgary, Savannah, Keystone, San Fransisco, Chicago, and San Antonio. When I say fortunate, I really mean, my husband is this AMAZING HARD […]
32 weeks pregnant and planning a birthday party is NO FUN. This is why I chose Peter Piper Pizza. I didn’t have to worry about making food. I didn’t have to worry about entertaining the children. I didn’t have to worry about the clean up. Eliseo is OBSESSED with Pixar Car’s. He loves Lightning McQueen, […]
Happy Birthday to our two year old! How has it been two years already!? He loves rock music. His favorite band is Sevendust and it has to be played almost EVERYTIME in the car. His favorite foods: Chipotle, pasta, french fries, and veggie sticks. Total toddler diet. He can spot a Starbucks two miles away and ask […]
It was 105 degrees. It should be illegal for women to be pregnant in the summer. When I was pregnant with Eli during Summer 2016, I didn’t mind the heat. In fact, I LOVED it. I used to be a very cold person. I always carried a cardigan/sweater for me because I was always freezing. […]
It’s May and this workshop was in March. I know.. I know.. You’re probably thinking.. What took you so long to blog about this session? I have a really good excuse. I was 8 weeks pregnant during this workshop. The first trimester was really rough on me. I couldn’t do ANYTHING. All my projects were […]
Veronica Cook is also a wedding and portrait photographer in El Paso. We met up in the dry Rio Grande to swap headshots. I had SO MUCH fun with her. SOOOO MUCH. We laughed the ENTIRE TIME.
I bought these amazing cards to up my photography game and let me tell you.. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. I love doing some posed photos but I also love candid images. Honestly, I was stuck in a rut when I had my sessions. My go to was, “Look at the camera, and pretend to laugh!” […]
