CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS to Alex and Anayancy from a few posts back......THEY JUST GOT ENGAGED!!!!!
I'm so happy to see how excited and happy Anayancy is...I bet Alex is the same hahaha but since I can't see him I can only tell by his voice and by seeing Anayancy's face light up everytime we talk about him and the wedding........
Let the wedding planning begin.....Fun times :D

ENGAGEMENT: Adam & Pami

A few weeks ago I was graciously asked by Pami if I could take some pictures of her and Adam and I said OF COURSE!!!!
You see Pami and I have been friends for like 15 years hahahaha.....we grew up together and she's a PK too hahaha...........
I had the opportunity to tag along with Kristen to get some pictures of when Adam and Pami got engaged back in April and now I'll be second shooting their wedding with her in like a month...Can't wait!!!

Pami: Thank you so much for being my friend. Thank you for speaking God's truth to my life. I love to see how you honor Adam and how you are willing to follow him even if it costs being far away from your family and friends here in Mexico. I know God will bless you tremendously in Maryland. I love you!!

Adam: I love to see how ENORMOUS your love for Pami is but I mostly love to see that GOD is your first love. Thank you for leading my friend. I know you will take really good care of her.

Here are some of my favorite pictures.......I hope you guys enjoy them.......... Love, *Ana Rebeca*

***Ok so a little side story........and I know Sarah B. is going to shake her head and then LAUGH......While I was shooting Adam and Pami and realized I only had ONE battery with me and after like 25 min into the shoot it DIES!!!!!!!, I thought my extra battery was in my camera bag so I went to look for it and it was NOT there.....We were at this great neighborhood and I was so disappointed that we weren't going to be able to shoot there some more, but Pami and Adam where really great sports and we rescheduled the rest of the shoot for the next morning so I woke up at like 8:30 AM to do the shoot before church. I went over to Pami's house where we were going to meet and everything was going so well. So like in the middle of the shoot Pami and Adam notice I had some mosquitoes on my legs (yes I was wearing shorts :P) Well I ended with like 12 mosquito bites on EACH leg and several on my hands hahahaha.........Oh but it was all worth it...............My lesson of the day: when shooting in the morning after it has rained the WHOLE night wear PANTS and repellent hahahaha***

Pami, how excited are you that you are getting married?? Oh I can tell :P

Adam, give me a model look!

Beautiful Couple!!

THE BARRAZA FAMILY

One Wednesday afternoon while I was waiting for my friend Sandra and her daughter Sofia to arrive for a "tryout" session to see if we could capture a certain image that my church needed for a conference I took advantage of the Barraza Family since they where there with me and they had asked me a few weeks before if I could talk pictures of their Family of 3................

Alex and Cinthya have been married for like 2 years (or more?? hahaha) and they were blessed with Baby Alex a year ago.....
Baby Alex is such an energetic little boy and I Love how he smiles.

Enjoy the pics!!

Baby Bolo

Bolo as we lovenly call him is the son of Silvia or Shivis, a close friend of mine and her husband Gil. Bolo is such and adorable baby, he smiles all the time and it's just so CUTE!! I did an impromptu session with him for father's day as a last minute gift idea for his daddy. Shivis asked me to upload these so here you go...I hope you like them :)

I love his big brown eyes!!


Don't you just LOVE little baby shoe's??


BOLO LOVES DADDY!!




Bolo and Mommy................I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!!

JUST BECAUSE: Alex & Anayancy

Alex and Anayancy met about a year ago at church...They started a courtship 6 months ago and are now waiting to see what God's plan for their lives and their relationship is. You see, Alex is attending the Sovereign Grace Ministries Pastors College in Gaithersburg, MD while Anayancy is here in Juarez, Mexico. I love the way Anayancy has supported Alex in this phase in his life, I bet it's hard to know that your boyfriend will be out of town for the next 10 months ( I know it would be hard on me if it was Armando the one leaving) I love how Alex has cared for Anayancy's heart during this time and I LOVE how their faces light up everytime they get the chance to talk to each other.
Before Alex left for Maryland, he asked me if I could take some pictures of them together since neither of them had pictures of each other and I WAS DELIGHTED to do so.
Since he wanted to surprise Anayancy he gave her a blank photo frame and she was like: "Oh a frame...umm Thanks" hahaha but then he told her what it was for and she started laughing 'cause she was really happy :D

Alex, we miss you but we know that God has big plans for you. Anayancy, Thank you for your friendship!!
Alex & Anayancy: The way you guys honor God in your relationship is a great example to me. I love you two very much, I hope you like the pictures!!!
ENJOY!!!

***edit*** Alex asked me to put this up regarding what I said about his relationship with Anayancy:
"You make me tremble with what you said about my courtship being an example to you. I have to confess that only by the Grace of God we haven't derailed by one simple reason: the help of the church. The care that the pastors and my care group have given us has made the difference in my courtship. If I could encourage someone to imitate from us is to recognized that it's not an easy process, to recognized that out of the Grace of God we couldn't honor him in this and to ask the church for help. Examples like Armando asking me how it's going and encouraging me to honor GOD has made the difference" Alex A.















I'll post the slideshow once I'm able to upload it.... :D
