Marvin & Michele ~ Engaged!

A few weeks back we did Michele and Marvin's engagement session in Long Beach. The sun was out and shining bright so I had to fight it a little bit, but it's no fun without a challenge!

Here are some of our favorites:

Marvin and (specially) Michele wanted to show us their mad dancing skills!



They were so good that I had to bust out the animated image :P (It's low quality due to the animation)





Isn't Michele a beauty?! :)

Many, many posts coming very soon!

Sneak Peek ~ Hope & Mike

I wanted to post this sneak peek the same day Hope & Mike got married, but I got home and was so tired that I fell asleep on my sofa! In my defense, our work day started at 5:25 a.m. that day! Understandably, I was tired!

Here's the sneak peek:

Horacio ~ Headshots

Horacio was referred to me by one of my favorite coordinators/make-up artist, who happens to be his sister-in-law. Horacio was in need of some new actor headshots. I like modern and natural looking headshots. What do you think?

Walt Disney Concert Hall Family Session

Erica and Rene chose the Walt Disney Concert Hall for their engagement session. They wanted to include their beautiful daughter in some of the images. Little did we know that she was going to be extremely shy around us. This is the very first time a child is not drawn to me. Ask anyone that knows me, kids love me! There's always a first time for everything. I will say that I give props to child photographers! :P

We were able to get some good shots were the little one (who happens to have a beautiful name ;P) did not look totally scared of us :P Here are some of the photos:

We tried to get to the engagement session part...







but this little lady had other plans for us :P

Erica & Rene: Thank you for being such great sports! I can't wait for your wedding!

12 Years!

Twelve years ago I asked the boy of my dreams to be my boyfriend. Yes, I asked him. I asked my puppy love to stop being my platonic love and be my first and only boyfriend. You see, when Art and I met we had just gone into jr. high. Although, I liked him like "wow," I was still at the age where I thought he had coodies :P As soon as I was out of jr. high it was like it was a brand new me. I made my move and he said yes :) We have been together ever since.

I can't help but fall in love again and again with my now husband. He completes me. He makes me strive to be the very best I can be...for him. He is the reason I breathe. He is the reason I pray. He is the reason I give thanks to my Lord every day.

If that is not cheesy enough for you, let me tell you the 12 reasons I love my hubby so much! 1 for each year :P Yes, I went there! I'm allowed to be a total cheese-ball today :)

To Art:

1. I love you because you know everything about me and you love everything you know.

2. I love you because you always need to talk to me whether it's something small or something major.

3. I love you because you always take care of me and protect me.

4. I love you because that smile of yours always makes me weak in the knees.

5. I love you because after so many years you still manage to give me butterflies in my tummy.

6. I love you because what other people might see as my flaws, you see as my qualities.

7. I love you because you love and care for my father and sister like you care for your own.

8. I love you because no matter what time of the day it is, you will hear me talk for hours...even if it's 3:00 a.m.

9. I love you because you think it's the funniest thing when I laugh at my own jokes while nobody else is laughing. :P

10. I love you because you are seriously my better half.

11. I love you because you believe in me...no matter how crazy my dreams can get.

12. I love you because you have the most amazing heart, full of love.

I have so many more reasons why I love this man, but I will keep them to myself so I can let him know later on today.

I hope everyone has a great Friday the 13th!
