Before I became a mother, I wasn’t fond of capturing motherhood. Heck I stayed far away from being called an El Paso motherhood photographer. Three kids later… I love capturing motherhood. I thought we were going to get rained on. Instead, we got hit with a windstorm Typically we don’t get rain but it is […]
I participated in a model session with two fellow photographer friends and I loved everything about this dreamy mommy & me session. Located in the upper valley of El Paso, this session was out of my norm. Shot during mid morning when I usually only shoot sunrise or sunset. Dress is Reclamation Design Company. You […]
The Guiterrez Family. I’ve been photographing this beautiful family for years! Although I am a photographer based in El Paso, Texas, when Steph suggested White Sands, New Mexico, I was like LET’S DO IT! White Sands, New Mexico has to be one of the prettiest places in the southwest. Every time I’ve gone, the skies […]
We are going to back track. I shot my last wedding when I was 37 weeks pregnant. Yep. You read that correctly. I DO NOT recommend it. I could have sworn that being on my feet would put me in labor but it didn’t. Week 38, our household got hit with a cold. Honestly, I […]
So I’ve sat in front of the computer too many times wanting to publish Maximiliano’s birth story but it hurts me so bad that his birth didn’t go as planned. With Eli, I never had a birth plan. All I wanted to do when he was born, do skin to skin, and soak up every […]
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 […]
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 […]
