Class of 2031.  It was a fun day watching these little guys moving on from pre-school.  A great message to send to these pre-schoolers that they will graduate from college in 2031

Cindy + Jaziel 8/17/2013

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.  Corinthians 13:4-8

I must say being a photographer has some great rewards.  For me, one of the most rewarding things about wedding photography is getting to know the couple and making new friends.   Recently, I had an incredible experience in meeting Cindy and Jaziel.  This couples love for one another is like no other.  Photographing them on their special day was a great honor.  Congratulations Mr. And Mrs. Castelazo

Celebrate with a Smash !

I wish they had these ideas when I was a kid.  Well, maybe they were around but they have never been as popular as today.  Here are a couple of shots recently taken celebrating Sean's first birthday.  What a messy boy this was by the time we were done shooting.  (clean-up sold seperately)
