Bella and I met in Barcelona. It could have been the massive amounts of authentic Sangria talking, but we instantly buddied up and became friends ever since. It's nice to meet genuine people that can mutually make each other crack up :) By the way, this gorgeous mother of 4 totally inspires me to be a supermom. Like, seriously.

I love it when a photo shoot just feels like a hangout with friends. Yes, it was my first time meeting them in person, but this is one helluva family. I can still hear Nani's little munchkin voice in my head, "Look Mommy!!!". Oh, and seriously...how hot can one couple get? So glad I got to meet the Gomez's and share a few laughs from our "back in the day" stories!

Caitlin was my first. Yes, my very first makeover session. It was from this point forward that I would fall in love with this genre of photography. It's the beauty and glamour without the boas, soft focus and fist tucked under the chin.

Thank you Caitlin for having faith in me and also letting me borrow your man as an assistant ;)

Two things I love...Filipino babies and their tiny little feet. 

When Carmen sings, my soul is full of joy. I've had the pleasure of knowing Carmen for years now, and I am so impressed with her dedication to whatever she puts her heart to.

We did the photo shoot in preparation for her big performance at UNLV. We laughed and giggled, and worked til the wee hours of the night to get all the posters designed.

Thank you for filling my creative tank Ms. Carmen!
