I’ve been wanting to put this blog post together for a while. I personally dig looking at before and afters posts from other photographers and I know, the times I have posted my own, my fellow photographer friends have dug it too. So, I gathered the latest self-portraits I’ve taken, so you can see the work…
This post is not technical, because, to be honest, I’m not a technical person. My art is driven by heart. Of course, I had to learn a few things here and there to be able to bring my vision to life, but technical conversations often put me to sleep. I rather have deep emotional ones….
So yesterday I showed you the first image I created in collaboration with my friend Aska Koziara. She lives in California, I live in Orlando and we joined forces to create some magical images of her daughters. Today is all about Antonia and her puppy, Wasabi. Antonia wanted a picture with her puppy. Aska and…
A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by my friend and fellow photographer Aska Koziara. She told me she would love having me taking her girl’s pictures, but since we live across the country from each other she asked me if I was up to do a collaboration, meaning that we or the girls would come…
Today it’s been 366 my heart got shattered. 366 days of a cold empty space on the left side of my bed. 366 days since grief came to stay, forever, taking over every single corner of my life. Today I want to remind you to give an extra hug to your love ones, and make…
2016 left most of us emotionally exhausted… To me, there’s not better medicine than letting my creative juices play and and take over time. That’s what I did yesterday. I grew up in a family where New Year’s Eve was the biggest event of the year. Sadly, we are spread all over the world and…
About a month ago, I had the chance to photograph these two super talented boys, Cesar Montes de Oca and Jesus Montes de Oca. They both are BMX super stars. They are doing a fantastic job representing the State of Florida and they are on their way to compete on the World Championship next year….
Wha does a photographer do when she’s alone at home, bored and she finds a Santa Suit? Well, she puts the suit on and tries to get into character… and thinks, What do we know about this Santa guy? Works one day a year, spends the rest of the year judging you… YOU GET COAL!…
Holidays are about being with love ones. I lost my best friend, the love of my life and the father of my daughter this year. I was terrified of facing these few days alone with my kids. But then I thought, it’s really up to me how they get to experience the holidays, and this year…
This has to be one of my favorite shoots to date. What couldn’t go wrong with a shoot with 5 talented guys with that sing like angels, a super fantastic make up and hair artist and a fabulous assistant? NOTHING! These guys were a pleasure to work with, and they even sang for us during…
I recently had the pleasure to do promotional and album work for the super talented 18 years old singer songwriter Casey Conroy. This girl has been performing all around Central Florida since she was 14 years old. Her voice is so mellow, her sound is so new and refreshing. You probably have seen her performing…
About 5 years ago when I fell in love with photography, I started searching online finding ways of learning everything I needed to become a photographer. That’s when I stumbled upon, at the time called, Kelby Training. Without even thinking twice, I got a membership and sat for hours and hours watching tutorials by Scott…
A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure to photograph a sweet couple, Abel and Ivette, they are expecting their first baby!. I’ve known Abel for a while, have photographed his band a couple of times, and have been following Ivette’s ventures on social media for a while. They told me they wanted something…
I haven’t updated my blog with few pictures I took at the end of last year and at the beginning of 2016. With so much going on in my life, I couldn’t find the time and inspiration to write a few lines, but I didn’t want to miss the chance to show them to you….
I must had been around nine or ten years old when I first read The Little Prince, or since I read it in Spanish, El Principito. I remember clearly seating in one of the rooms in my grandma’s house reading it. I loved the little drawings. It was beautiful. With that book, I fell in…
I received today a brochure from school for my boy’s Fall School pictures… and well, giving the price they were asking for them, and the 80’s look on the proofs, my boy and I decided last night to go ahead and do our own photoshoot at the comfort of our home. I’m pretty sure my boy wouldn’t have as…
Yes, I have had my share of complaints but on the whole I’ve been a saint!… to those Poor Unfortunate Sou-uls! -Ursula. I had a little fun last Sunday painting myself purple and pretending to be Ursula as the boys in my house rolled eyes and ran away from me… But what’s the fun of…
Last year when I was pregnant with my baby girl, in one of the visits to the doctor, I was told things had gotten a little complicated, and that I would need to be on bed rest for the rest of my pregnancy. The doctor told me I had Placenta Accreta, which means that the placenta…
In the 4 years I’ve been doing photography I’ve always wanted to do a Sugar Skull portrait but somehow I always put it away or got to busy or simply forgot. So this year as soon as October started, I got to it. My creative process sometimes can turn into a love and hate relationship….
I have been obsessed about the movie Inside Out lately. My son always memorizes the release dates of the movies he wants to watch, and makes plans to go to the movies that day… I can’t say no, I’m not a fan of going to the movies, but I’m a fan of going anywhere with…
I have written this post and deleted it a million times. Sometimes it’s hard for me to get the message out. Maybe I’m just not good with words and should stay away from the keyboard and just post my pictures with a little tiny note. I always worry if I’m sharing too much, if people…
Just when I thought my boy couldn’t get any cuter, I asked him to put a tuxedo on and well, you can see the results… Gosh, isn’t he handsome? At first I was worried he could feel a little uncomfortable wearing the tuxedo. He is very picky about clothes because of his sensory issues, but man,…
All of our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them. -Walt Disney. This picture started as a dream, and with my son’s help and art direction, we made it come true. It was yet another great project with my kiddos, my girl being the model this time, and my boy…
What do we do when we’re bored at home? We dress up and take pictures! We have a closet full of costumes and a long list on my Iphone with ideas for photoshoot for my kids, why would we sit on front of the TV if there is so much to be had? I have had that…
So I was told to make a picture and the theme was Yellow. With a theme like that you can go everywhere but since I wanted to involve my kids this time I started thinking on something crafty I could do to include my boy. Then the idea of doing something with different shades of…
I know, there are still a few months to go for Halloween but I was told to make a picture around the word Cobweb, and I ended up dressing up my girl as a little spider… and I know, if she was a spider she would do this to her brother so she could torture…
Photography to me is more than pressing the shutter. It’s sometimes even about creating fantasy world, and that’s what I want my family pictures to be like. An adventure!This time, my little girl went on an adventure on her own to a beautiful garden. “This lucky ladybug has landed here to stay to make my garden…
Sorry if this grosses you out (giggles) When I first started photography all I wanted to do was making people laugh. I always say laugh is the best medicine but making people laugh is even better. As you may notice I don’t take myself seriously, at all. I’m my #1 critic and I’m the first…
I don’t know wether to thank or apologize to my baby daddy first. lol! Let me start thanking him for being such a goof and a good sport. It doesn’t matter what crazy idea I come up with he’s always up for it. I just feel a little bad for my baby’s new ride. It…
My little baby girl is not even a year old and she has played so many characters and of course, growing up in a house where our plans are scheduled according to any motorsports races running during the weekend, and daddy being all about fast cars and what makes them go fast, I couldn’t resist to put…
I created this image back in April for a game I play with other photographers in G+. I wasn’t able to post it on social media until now because besides being a game, your images get judged. So after many days of anxiety and desperation waiting for the judging to be over, I’m sharing this with…
