I had so much fun experimenting with this session during the most beautiful sunset! Enjoying pregnancy, looking absolutely fabulous while doing it, and having a husband, soon-to-be-daddy that lights up when he talks to the baby on the inside just makes my heart melt. It was such an easy going, light, fun, calm session. And being able to try something new like dragging the shutter so the water looks like it's moving just made my whole evening.

This duo are brothers and definitely worked the session. We didn't do your classic smile and sit nicely. We had fun changing outfits, throwing sand, running, and changing outfits. I loved this cool summer beach vibe these guys had. They were so chill. They belong in a magazine.
Nothing calms the soul like the sound of the waves crashing and the breeze of the ocean caress your cheek. I love living near the beach. And I love the beach even more taking amazing photos for families to cherish forever!
Today we have these cutie pies, two older boys are brothers and the three are cousins! So cute! I had so much fun with them :). And how can you not love sandy baby toes! Ah, love!!!

Oh man, I've had such a surge of inspiration lately with these sunset portrait sessions. The beach is about 4 blocks from my house and Bucerias has one of the most beautiful beaches in the area and I wanted to soak in the last bit of summer with some family portrait sessions.
I love how we just have fun, play in the water, and get some really good shots!
Our first family is Sindy, Dago, little N & P :)
I love having the privilege of photographing the most important moments in my family. Especially this little miracle in my sister's tummy.
This was a while ago and little Tomas decided to come a couple weeks after ;). But I want to share this session with you as my sister sinks into motherhood ever so fabulously! Love you sister, Robert, and baby Tomas!
I love being able to photograph families doing life together. We photography my cousin Jackie's little family adventuring through the UCR Botanical Gardens. Finding sticks, playing hide-n-go-seek, and counting turtles. Capturing their family just as who they are. More and more I find myself doing these kinds of photos. It just feels more natural to me than the smiley ones. But not so aloof or stylized as the lifestyle photos. Just more real. And I love getting a glimpse of the real in families. Because some days are just so good your heart wants to explode. And we should always try and remember those days and how they make us feel.
Anyway, here are the beautiful photos! Click on the photo to make them larger.
Isa and I first met during her friend's wedding in Mazatlan a couple years ago. She is an absolutely easy going person who carried through her day like it was any other. Truly enjoyed every minute of the day, which was fabulous! I just loved the way Adrian looked at her, he completely adores her.
Their day began with a first look, which are my favorite! It's so wonderful to see the couple before all the madness begins and give them some time and space to truly enjoy each other. They had a symbolic ceremony overlooking the hotel's playa saying I Do with their closest friends and family. That is what I love about destination weddings, truly those who attend are those closest to you which makes for a beautiful intimate wedding.
The reception was full of beautiful accents and details! Along with fireworks during their first dance! Needless to say, the party lasted a good long while as we could hear the music when we got to our room that night. Which I gotta say, makes for successful wedding day!

When Isa and I first met we hit it off right away. She is a beautiful person inside and out with a wild heart and bright colorful soul. A genuine person who is easy going and has a great attitude about everything. And Adrian simply adores her.
We had so much fun walking around the grounds of the hotel capturing their love and seeing how they just have fun together. I loved loved loved Isa's wardrobe!
The wedding was even more beautiful... which is coming soon! So remember to come back in a couple of days ;).

I was a little skeptical about the layout but I think I'm starting to really like it! I feel like it has a more modern gallery look to it and you can see the whole session rather than having to scroll for years on end, lol. What do you think? Keep it?
Anywhoo, if you want photos like this and are getting married at the beach or vacationing in my part of town Puerto Vallarta, click here to schedule your session!
Dear Leon,
I hope that one day, when you are older, you will read this with a full heart. A heart that has learned to live, love, and change the world for the better. If not, that's ok too. Because who ever you are when you read this, is exactly who you are meant to be.
I am in awe of how much you have grown. Sometimes you look so big I can't even believe it and other times you look so small I feel like you are still 6 months old, withmore hair.
You like to talk with your hands, especially when I say 'no' and you try and state your case with your hand raised and your fingers touching. Sometimes when you're cranky you skip the defense and just go for the gold and try to cry your way out. Either one is cute, because, well, you're a baby.
I am encouraged by your ability to learn something new every day.
You aren't walking yet and I kind of worry but at the same time I know you'll do that when you are good and ready. Mostly because I believe you're a strong willed baby and know what you want. Even at one year.
I love how affectionate you are and show your emotions accordingly. I can tell you will be sensitive to your emotions. And for that I am grateful.
Your excitement upon seeing dad when he walks in from work makes my heart skip a beat. You love when he tickles you and plays until you literally knock out from exhaustion. I love that makes you laugh until you can't handle it anymore.
I love when you scrunch your nose and smile at me. And how you play with water.
But most of all I love who you are right now at this point in your life. A very smiley, happy, playful, and inquisitive baby.
Just know that my life is forever changed because you are in it now. I love you and wish you the best on your birthday. A day that deserves to be celebrated!
These two just amazing me with their fabulousness. We saw their wedding yesterday, now today we see their Engagement Session taken on the gardens and beach of the Hard Rock Hotel in the Riviera Maya.
Deby's dress is TO DIE FOR!!! I simply love her dress. She had it custom made for her and I have to say it was so worth it!

And here is the sweet, sweet beach ceremony they had. It was brimming with lots of emotions and happiness from both the couple and guests. The beach ceremony is a symbolic ceremony where the couple gets married on the beach.
Deby and Beto had both the beach ceremony and in the post before, their religious ceremony. The hotel or venue where you get married may offer both options or just one. Be sure to speak with your coordinator.
