MARLENE AND JEREMY: WEDDING


MONICA AND MILTON: ENGAGEMENT

Paola...... Bunky Baby

Today is a very special day.....Today it's Paola's 1st B-day. This little girl is very special to me for 2 reasons:

1.- Her mom is my very good friend Roxana. Roxy and I grew up together and even thou she's a little older (I SAID A LITTLE OK hahaha) than me, God has given us the opportunity to build a great friendship.

2.- Bunky (as we affectionately call her) was the first person I photographed last year with my back then new Nikon D40 when she was 2 months old, then I did my first Family Session with her and her parents when she was 3 months old and then I took some "surprise christmas pics" in December when she was 5 months old. And now she's a year old.

So to celebrate her Birthday I took her outside and did a mini shoot and I'm very happy to see the end results.

BUNKY: If you ever read this I just want you to know that your Auntie Ana LOVES YOU like crazy and I can't wait to see you grow up.

ROX: You know that I love you and that I'm grateful for your friendship. Love you Bunky Mama!! Sincerely the floating bubble *wink*

ENGAGEMENT: Monica and Milton

This is a very special post for me, since the pictures are of my little sister and my future brother in-law :P
Kristen Snyder was in town serving at Rancho 3M orphanage last week and she offered to take some engagement pictures of Monica and Milton at the Ranch so my dad and I tagged along. This shoot gave me the opportunity to serve them and to practice since me and my uncle will be the photographers at their wedding in 3 weeks!!!

Monica: I LOVE YOU...even thou I might not show it sometimes. I'm very happy to see that you have grown to be a Godly woman and I'm very excited to see how God keeps on blessing you thru this new stage in your life.
Milton: I love you too.....Take care of my baby sister. Welcome to the family :P

Here are some pics.....I'll upload the slideshow as soon as I can .... Enjoy :D

WEDDING: Marlene and Jeremy

Marlene and Jeremy got married on June 27, 2008 while I was in Chicago doing my internship with Sarah. I seriously LOVE this couple. They treated us as we were long time friends.......Marlene wanted us (by us I mean Sarah, Laura, Natalie and I) to come and have a good time at her wedding...it was even on her contract!!!! They rented us a room at the hotel where the whole bridal party, friends and family where staying. They got married at the fabulous Patrick Haley Mansion in Joliet, IL. The day started a little glummy and it rained while we were doing pictures on this field of wild flowers but about an hour before the ceremony started the sun came out and it was just perfect. Marlene was so good at thinking of all these little details for her wedding...she even had butterflies under her veil and the guests had butterflies in little envelopes so that they could release them when Marlene and Jeremy were pronounced husband and wife. The toasts at the reception where just perfect....tears where in my eyes...
Marlene and Jeremy: Thank you so much for letting me come to your fabulous wedding!!! May God Bless You!!

Here are some pictures....I'm working on getting a slide show up..hopefully soon......
