  • Early Light

    E A R L Y L I G H T / APRIL 2015

    My thoughts are heavy on my mind right before bed.
    These days I fall asleep at 12PM and wake up whenever these two decide to take on the day.
    That is what early light is about.
    Those just waking moments, where you can still hear the birds.
    The stillness that can be beautiful and found everywhere you see.

    To my little boy

    Your heart is so big.
    and right now, you are having a tough time with all of the feelings and emotions inside it.
    This month you are learning about sharing more.
    the concept is completely lost on you, most of the time
    then, I see your sweetness shine in
    wanting nothing but to please that little girl.
    Thank you for your patience, as mommy is mainly occupied with her.

    To my little girl

    You, my dear.
    Are something to be admired.
    Just two months ago was your 1st birthday and already,
    you are doing the stuff toddlers dream of.
    Your wit and laughter is so incredibly awesome.
    I can’t wait for you to soak in the beauty of summer as a walking big girl.

  • Chicago children’s photographer – Zoe almost one -pt2

    Zoe, almost one pt-deux
    Yeah, so of course after submitting her to almost an hour of indoor photographs we had to go outdoors.
    Remember that winter weather break we got in late January, I believe? Well it was sunny and gloriously warm. The snow on the ground just topped off the beauty.

    (also, in this post zoe changes colors) ha!google color cast. Sorrounded by white snow and greens will do that to a girl 🙂

  • Chicago children photographer – almost one pt-1

    Zoe, almost one.
    You can kiss babyhood goodbye, after one. It is like one day she woke up and knew how to do it all interdependently. I am taking it all in, since she is my last baby. I am cherishing this crooked smile which she has now filled up, no longer does it look like this, missing gap. The next time i see a gap, god willing I will be raising a sweet young child. It’s incredibly bittersweet.

  • Chicago – Family- Photographer – Menchaca family

    Menchaca family
    Once of the most wonderful families I know. I am so very excited because this year, I get to watch these two walk down the isle. I get to see their love unite, and complete a family. It makes me so incredibly happy for them. They deserve nothing but happiness for many years to come. I have to admit that I was secretly hoping Jeremy would pop out the ring here and have me photograph the proposal, because of course we all knew he had the ring. Unfortunately he was selfish (sarcasm!!!) and wanted that special moment to be between them two, alone. Can’t wait to toast to their love & dance the night away. Congrats you guys!!!!!

  • Personal Project 52 in black & white

    Jan 12 2014

    A week before the new year I started to think of next year’s goals. Growing a small photography business really takes much more work than you think. There is always a fight in my head about what to put out there. I think any photographer struggles with that. The type of work you want to do, is not always the type of work your clientele wants. So this year, one of my big goals is too shoot for myself more. To discover what I love in a photograph. To learn a whole lot, and push my camera to its limits. Also push myself to think out side of myself. I can get hindered by indecision. I hope my Project 52 can allow me to discover new things. I choose to do it in b&w , because I think that it will challenge me a bit more. Since not every image should be a b&w.
    this is my work so far.52-1s3523fb1
