Becky and Jobin Married At The Hillcrest

I would like to wish all my family, friends and clients a very happy Holiday Season. I extend a very special Thank You to all the beautiful people who I have met this year and to all the beautiful couples who have allowed me to capture their wedding day.

It has been a crazy year for me with many changes. I left my family job to pursue my dream job full time. With many thanks to all my clients who allowed me the opportunity to do that. Before I left for Ecuador I realized that life is way too short not to take chances and not to follow your dreams. I took a serious pay cut, went on a 2 1/2 month journey to the Galapagos and Ecuador, fell in love with life again, realized my purpose and realized I can live on tuna, lolol!!

As this new year approaches us I wish everyone A very Happy New Year and The very best life can offer you. Follow your Dreams.

This post is just the beginning of some amazing posts to follow. I have been so lucky to have the chance to photograph weddings at beautiful venues and the Hillcrest is a great place to start.

Becky and Jobin are truly a beautiful and loving couple. And how exciting it was to shoot Becky in three amazing dresses for the day!!! I also had the pleasure of working with Luis Salazar who was my second photographer for the day, he took some amazing shots as well!! I have been editing away and am finally able to present to you some truly beautiful Wedding day photos.

I have also been working on several Boudoir shoots and will be posting some gorgeous shots soon!! if you are interested in artistic, classy and fun Boudoir photos please send me an email at oceanwavesdeepblue@yahoo.com I will be happy to send you samples and pricing.
















Here are a few Luis caught of Jobin getting ready...

The Final Dress of the Nite.

A little trip North

Before I post a few more weddings, I wanted to share just a few of the amazing photos I had the chance to take while I visited North Carolina. My mom told me it was just the right time of year to see the trees change their colors, so my boyfriend and I took off to have a photo adventure and visit family and friends along the way. We caught a glimpse of a baby black bear up in a tree over the highway... poor thing, but I was not hanging around for momma bear ;) In the evening the mountains seemed as though they were on fire. When the sun sets the trees glow bright oranges, yellows and reds... It really was spectacular.

Back from Ecuador... And a Photo Shoot with Alex

I returned home from my amazing trip to Ecuador a few days ago and life is so very different. How I miss the smell of fresh baked bread every morning. The sounds of nature and the people bustling in the street. The sounds of roosters telling me it is time to wake up and seeing something new everyday... I will be posting more photos on my other blog at http://www.artistescape.blogspot.com/ once I get some work done here....

Here are a few photos i had promised a while back of a beautiful girl I met while I was visiting the beautiful island of Isabela in the Galapagos. This is Alexandra, she is from Texas and I think we will be seeing her on the pages of the magazines one day soon. We were both bored one day and what a perfect location for a model and a photographer!!! Enjoy and more photos to come!!!

At Home with Liza and Adam

Liza and Adam wanted to be at home for their engagement photos and it happens to be one of my favorite places to photograph a couple. The atmosphere is theirs and what better ways to capture someones true emotions, than in the comfort of their own surroundings.

On another quick note, as many of you know I will be leaving for South America a week from today. The Galapagos and Ecuador await to be captured by yours truly ;) Check out my adventure at www.artistescape.blogspot.com I will not be communicating via phone for the most part but I will have my laptop with me and be able to communicate via the Internet, what a glorious thing!! Kinda...

Please feel free to contact me and visit the blog for some amazing photos and hopefully vids, if the connection is not too slow. Zip lines here I come!!!

And now back to Liza and Adam.



































Liza teaches Sign Language, her hand sign means I love you.

Teresa and Carmin at Riverside Las Olas Engagement Photos

Teresa and Carmin were so much fun to stroll along Riverfront with. The day was perfect and I forgot I was actually working!! I love to be the little fly on the wall clicking away as I watch them interact with each other. These two have been together for 9 years and it was like watching two kids in love. Their wedding will be held at The Bonnet House in November and will be a 1920's theme!! I can't wait!!







































Thats a Butterfly on Carmins cheek ;)
