2008 RECAP!!

I can't believe the year 2008 is a few hours from being over!! God has been so good and merciful to me this year that I wanted to write it all down so that in the future I can come back to this post and just see God's hand in my life. So here is a recap of what happened in this incredible year of 2008 month by month, stick with me, it's good :D :D

JANUARY:
I had my very first Family Session with the Baylon family and I loved it!! Ericka their second daughter was getting married in February and moving away to Monterrey so she asked me to take some family pictures for her so that she could take some with her.


FEBRUARY:
Carlos & Ericka's Wedding......I was sort of a second shooter for her. I loved the opportunity she gave me, I learned so much and I got a new friend. She and I keep in contact and try to see each other everytime she comes.....She's very special to me since she was basicly my first bride :D


MARCH:
We had the opportunity to present for the 4th year our Easter play at church called: "Su Pasion por Ti" (His Passion for You), This has been one of the greatest events Ive been a part of. It gives us the opportunity to testify to others about what Christ did for us on the Cross,



APRIL:
My parents celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary. We had a surprise party for them with their closest friends. We had a great time honoring them and just giving thanks to God. Kristen Snyder was able to come down and capture this special day for us.....She did a great job, Thank you Kris for doing this for us!!!

JUNE:
June was a big month for me. First of all, by God's grace I started a courtship with Armando :D I have been able to see God's hand in this relationship.


About a week after we started courting....I headed to Chicago for an incredible internship with the amazing Sarah Barlow. I had an AMAZING time. I learned so much from her and I made new friends a long the way :D Sarah, Nat, Laura D and the rest of the Barlow clan...Thank you so much for opening your hearts to me while I was their. I hope to see you soon!! :D


JULY:
A couple of weeks after I got back from Chicago, I shoot Adriana & Roy's wedding reception.

ENGAGEMENT: Thelma & Timo

I had the privilege of taking Thelma & Timo's engagement pictures at the end of Octuber. The day could not have been better......Not too hot not too cold and we had a small breeze that fit perfectly with the love these two have for each other.
This was a special session for me too since Armando (my boyfriend) came along and shoot with me.....He actually took really good ones and he helped me out at their wedding also....I love that we have the opportunity to do this together :D

Here are some of my favorite pictures...ENJOY!!
