Around Green

While waiting for a family to come for a photo shoot, I had the opportunity to photograph some plants around the Arlington Garden, in Pasadena CA.

Here I share with you some of them. Rosemary is the only one I recognized, the smell is incredible!!!

Wonderful day with one of my BFF... Working with people I love is amazing, and to be able to give them a photo to remember about their kids and families is awesome...And after that, girls time!! Eat and a little bit of shopping ... Thank You for trusting me my friend.... <3 

Making the Session

When I get to use the camera with no interruptions on time or other things, I enjoy the moment... some times I just need more battery on the camera and more light... I really enjoy this fun hobby.

Our children, the most precious treasure

Time flies and when we realize our children are grown. Maybe they take us out of our senses sometimes, but we love them immensely; chase as they play, teach them values, show them the right path ... That's our job as parents ... Let's enjoy the way!

El tiempo pasa volando y cuando nos damos cuenta nuestros hijos han crecido. Tal vez nos saquen de nuestros cabales algunas veces, pero los amamos inmensamente; Perseguirlos mientras juegan, educarlos mientras crecen, mostrarles el camino... Ese es nuestro trabajo como padres... Disfrutemos el camino!!

Newborn Sessions

 Newborn photography can be so much fun – The photographer gets to spend some time with a new baby, and they don’t have the responsibility of getting up in the middle of the night for crying, and feeding. Newborn photography can be really difficult as well. Newborns are the ones who dictate the session. They pee, and poop, which can make post processing quite challenging. Here is some advice to consider when bringing your newborn to a session:

• Make sure you set your appointment in advance before your baby is born. That way we can talk about what you can expect from the session, and what kind of ideas I can suggest for you, and your newborn.

• It is better if the baby is 10 days old, or less. It will be easier to swaddle them, move them, or set them in certain positions. That is how I will be able to get the best photos, within those first few days.

• Newborns take a lot of time, and patience to photograph. The session could be from between 2-3 hours.

•  If a newborn is rooting, and not completely full, it will be very difficult to get the baby into a deep sleep. So I recommend that they eat before  coming to the photo session.  

• Look into the possibility of having the session at your own place, let me know =)
