A very sweet brazilian girl from California flew all the way to Phoenix to have a session with me around a month ago… That made me say to myself “Wow!! Really”?!? She really liked my work! :) Marcia was a referral from her cousin Fernanda, which I am friends with here in Phoenix and besides the fact that we had a fantastic photo shoot, it was a great opportunity for her to come and spend some family time in AZ.
Marcia wanted some promotional shots of her to use on her Solo CD album that is coming soon! She looked so pretty and I loved her outfits for this shoot! Check out my favorite images of the day:







I just love this one…






Marcia wanted to wish you lots of success!! I had a great afternoon with you and Fernanda!

I have been wanting to post photos of Stacy and Greg’s wedding forever… However I had a couple trips since their wedding day and I didn’t have time to blog it since now… Stacy and Greg tied the knot on May, 23. The wedding took place at a beautiful private residence in Scottsdale. It was a super fun wedding and I was expecting already to have awesome images of these two. They are so much fun to be around, also they have a great attitude about life and are so into each other…


I had my awesome friend and photographer Katina Patriquin helping me that day… I love this one she took of Stacy’s dress!

Stacy was just beautiful…


Ceremony starts…




Love this one…



Love their expressions on this shot!

Since Stacy and Greg love their bikes, it was a must to have a shot on it on their wedding day! So, after the ceremony Stacy and Greg’s friends had their bikes decorated and ready to go!!




Stacy and Greg.. have a life full of happiness and love… I wish you all the best! And as Stacy says on her email signature: “Life is short. Break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile. Life may not be the party we hoped for sometimes, but while we are here we should dance and enjoy it!” That is right! ;)

A couple weeks ago I met up with Shana and Rich to shoot their engagement photos… They are definitely a very fun couple to hang out and loved their playful energy! They are getting married next month in Heber, AZ. And for what I heard about it from Shana, their big day will be just beautiful and lots of fun! Also the weather in Heber will be so nice and the view of places we will be shooting are breathtaking!
Watching my clients being themselves and having fun with each other while capturing these moments are the best part of what I do…






A totally HOT and in love couple!




LOVE this shot!


Shana and Rich, thank you so much for the wonderful afternoon, you guys made my job easy… I had a blast!
I had a blast last week in Italy with my hubby!!! It was a very unique experience and I am so glad we booked this trip the way we did, even that it was last minute planned (those are the best!), but we really needed a getaway like this, not only for being extremely romantic being with your loved one in Italy, holding hands while walking around streets of such lovely cities.. having a good glass of wine and delicious food… and also because we were on the heart of history and that brought us even closer to God.
I know it was a very short time to stay in Europe and going to multiple places in only 8 days was a little to much… but Mark and I had a list of “must to go” cities, and nothing would change our minds.. we got to visit at least our favorites! Here they are: Rome, Milan, Venice and Florence. So we hopped pretty much city to city, rolling our suite cases in trains/metro stations and we spent 2 nights in each city… definitely rush but wonderful! It was a dream to go to Italy and actually I even posted in my 101 of 1001 list. I feel absolutely happy to cross this goal of my list!
I will be posting photos from the cities I visit in Italy very soon, in each different blog post, since that are so many of great shots I would love to share, and would be too much to post it all in the same time. Since I still with my sleep schedule kind crazy because the time difference between Italy and Phoenix, which is 9 hours… I have some sleep to catch up still and today has been hard to keep my eyes open, also we did so much walking in Italy that I feel seriously tired… My feet are saying a huge “Thank you” for let it rest a bit!
Enjoy some sneak peak shots from my favorite spot in Italy: Venice! The most unique, romantic, fun and outgoing city! LOVE IT!!!



Be turned for so more beautiful shots coming soon! Also wanted to express my love to the coolest hubby… I could not ask for a better half!
