Gabriel De La Torres {Anytime}

I've known Gabriel from when I photographed his mom's wedding. I have been to other events and has seen him grown up to a respectful and kind hearted young man. I am proud of him and I enjoyed talking with his mom and hearing about their family. Here are some of my favorites...

Project Homeless Connect

I had the pleasure of photographing this event for the City of San Jose, Housing Department. I was asked to capture the event and to tell the story of the event. Project Homeless Connect (PHC) is a one day event which brings together residents without permanent housing and local service providers under one roof. San Jose Project Homeless Connect is held semi-annually and creates relationships between those in need of housing services with agencies providing those services. It is a heart felt event and I am very humbled that I can be a part of the day. It is a privilege to get to hear the stories of how some of them became homeless and how we have changed their lives. Here are some pictures.

Gavilan students donated their time to cut hair.









I set up a portrait area and I will mail them a copy of the picture for them.

Christine {Boudoir}

Christine heard about my work through one of her close friend Michelle, Which I had the pleasure of doing her boudoir too. Christine was so excited about wanting to get her boudoir photos taken. The session was more for her after having a baby and it was about feeling sexy in her own skin. I am all about helping my clients feel and look sexy and that is why I love doing what I do. I promise Christine I would put up some teasers up. I will put more up later.

Thank you for the wonderful experience and for letting us have the hotel room. I had a great time getting to know you and chatting with you.

You look gorgeous GIRL!!!

If you want to see more images, Please email me and I can give you the password.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

I had the best Mother's Day ever. I don't want much, I just want to relax and spend time with my kids. Although, I am sad that my mom is not near by for us to celebrate Mother's Day with her. She is a great mom to all three of us and we would not be the women and moms that we are today. She has taught us to be strong, independent and ambitious. She is an awesome mom! I love you mom! Happy Mother's Day!

I woke up to Logan brought me a bowl of Raisin Bran cereal in bed. I had to pass and asked him if I could sleep in for a little bit. Later we all went to Mimi's Cafe and had brunch. I enjoy hanging out with my family and I am blessed to have two wonderful, beautiful kids. To all my friends and sister! Have a Happy Mother's Day!!

Colleen & John

I am excited that I will be photographing Colleen and John's wedding in July. Colleen is a co-worker of mine and she is great friend and a fun person to be around. On Sunday, I took the both of them to Capitola. We walked around and checked out the colorful buildings and the beaches. It was a nice day and the weather was perfect. Here are some of my favorites
