ADRIENNE.KRISTIN.ERICA.JILLIAN - Beach Session

I really love what I do....Photography is in my DNA and I can not help but get inspired by my clients. I was so blessed this afternoon to do a shoot with Adrienne, Kristin, Erica and Jillian.




These sisters are so beautiful that made my job so easy and flawlessly executed. At first we were stuck in a long line of photographers at this spot on this beautiful and famous beach. But at the same time, I love that I have the freedom to explore and think out of the box, and not be subjective to a "spot" where everyone is at; especially when I have such a beautiful canvas to paint on.

I'm so stoked for Erica for her trip to Europe. Have fun a take lots of pictures.

This one is my favorite!

Today 8.9.08 is better than 8.8.08 for the Magallanes' fam.

Terry Magallanes is successful in everything that he touches. We have been friends for a while now, and just today that I really see the real Terry Mag. He is a good father, husband and a friend.

I remember when Emma was just born, seems like yesterday. Her personality is just like Terry, very outgoing, very easy to connect with and definitely got the look from her mom, Dori.

Ado(Red) = Adorable

I hope you are not surprised to see another pic of the han-han, but she sure is adorable. I have no shame, just all love for this little girl that I can't stop taking picture of.

She has so much personality, and is already so funny with her imitations of her mother. She is a quick learner, and copy everything that we do...oh boy...or should we say oh girl...

Chocolate Cake for Breakfast

Man, I woke up this morning and I think I've just hit the Jackpot! It was so surreal, like a painting, like a poem, a great movie on a cold night, a beach day, well, anyway I think you got the picture. My wife made sugar free chocolate cake with banana cream cheese toping for breakfast...and that's all I have to say. Oh, and this girl.

On a Sunday Afternoon

-WARNING-

If you are looking for the traditional family portraits at Sears, you have come to the wrong website; we, on the other hand, are just plain crazy. Real images depicted here, no posing or studio lighting involved. Just lots of good music, good food, good friends and lots of love and a side of craziness. :o)

Some may say that this is a brave picture to post because it shows the vulnerability of the family. It is not the traditional picture perfect studio commercial. That, is what I love about these guys they are not hiding anything. This is the real thing, real people, real family no pose or trying to replicate another family time; it's them and they were nice enough to share it with us.



I LOVE WHAT I DO.













I love that they weren't looking at the camera (mine) there is so much personalities and bond between all four of them that makes this picture so special and timeless.
