young, fun, in love and engaged!

Barbie and Ciro are such a vibrant couple! Not only did they let me use them as puppets but their charisma as individuals and as a couple was incredible to be around! There were times I could not even shoot because I was laughing so hard. This was my first engagement shoot and it was as nerve racking just as it was exciting! We went to green street in the grove which is where they met, where he proposed and where they continue to go every week. This was a key component in our photos. Enjoy this fresh insight into a couple so in love. I wish them the best.

Good things come in small packages

One of my best friends Alexa Naranjo, yes ORANGE. The best is when I get to shoot my friends, I can pose them anyway , make them wear anything! This was the first shoot I have ever done at night. I had such a fun time experimenting, especially with her patience and natural modeling ability!  NOT only does she glow in real life , but also on camera! We talked about her becoming a model tonight so hopefully sometime soon you will see her in a magazine :D

ENJOY

A RISING STAR

Karina Fernandez, one of my good friends since high school has a very special opportunity this summer, which I will keep private. That will get her closer to her dreams. I was privileged to take some head shots for her. She attends college for musical theater. I know she will go far!
