Hi everyone! As the end of the year approaches, I would like to take the time to close out this blog as well. I am hoping to launch my new brand, website, and blog sometime early next year and that means I need to end this blog soon. As hard as it may seem, I am more than excited to start fresh and I know that my goals for next year sound tough and scary but if I take things step by step, everything will fall into place.
Here is my recap of "All is Perfect in its Time." It's crazy looking at all of these images and watching myself grow...
Los Molcajetes: Here is one of my first "jobs." I took pictures of the restaurant called Los Molcajetes in Bakersfield, CA and had a blast doing it. I learned to just get out there and shoot, as well as shooting around stationary objects. Here are a few of my favorite images from that shoot:
Vicky's 1st Birthday: This was January of 2009 and I can't believe how much Vicky has grown since then.
Hiking: Hubby and I went on a hike near our old apartment and I decided I should take my camera and try to catch the sunset. Well, I had a blast and captured some pretty nice shots.
Brenda's Photo Shoot: I had the pleasure of shooting my cousin Brenda. The setting was a great backdrop for our shoot.
The Lawrence Family: This was one of those "you never know until you ask" kind of moments. I went to the park and asked the mother of the kids if she minded me taking some images of her kids. Sure enough, she was fine with it and I had a blast!
Gaby's 16th Birthday: My niece turned 16 on March 23, 2009 and I had the pleasure of taking some images of her and her friends. It was so much fun running after a bunch of kids!
Easter 2009: The kids had an amazing time looking for Easter eggs and I had an amazing time capturing their happy faces! :)
Baby Oscar: I loved shooting this baby boy so much that I couldn't wait for anyone else to have a baby!
Karen's Baby shower: I knew Karen from High school and was honored to be asked to shoot her baby shower. It was a beautiful event!
Fenix's Wedding: This was a wedding for which I was NOT a photographer for but I shot a few images since I had my camera. So much fun!
Marky & Bella: These two precious angels were so much fun to shoot!!! They were also a mission to chase after in 100* heat!
My Father's Garden: I surprised my dad by shooting his garden and all of the flowers in it. He enjoyed the images and that's all that I wanted!
Brenda + Johnny: Finally, Here is my recent shoot with Brenda and Johnny. A perfect way to round of my original blog.
I would like to thank everyone that has helped shape me and my career into what it is today and what it will be in the future. First and foremost I want to thank God for never letting me give up. He has shown me that with him nothing is impossible. I also want to give a special thanks to my wonderful family, and lastly to y amazing husband who has done any and everything for me and my dreams! Thank you so much baby!
<3 Maria
