I haven’t posted pictures from my personal life in a LOOONG time. I often get emails asking what Jay looks like these days. I know, I know… it’s kind of like the shoemaker who’s kids don’t have shoes. While I actually do take pictures of my own child, I’m still mastering the art of actually editing them… a goal for 2010. So as I work on getting better at this…
We decided to take Jay on a new adventure today and go bowling. This was his first time setting foot in a bowling alley. Highly entertained was the little guy. If he could have had a lane all to himself, to simply throw ball after ball down, he would have been thrilled. Here are a few pics of my men, bowling…
Proof that I bowled too…

Veronica and Jose had an amazing wedding, full of Columbian tradition. Starting with the ceremony, where both parents escort their children and meet in the aisle to give them away… All the way through to the end of the reception where traditional Columbian masks and costumes were brought out to make it a truly spectacular party. Thank you for including me!
Here are some of my favorites starting with some fabulous details…
The meeting of the two families…
The writing was on the wall…
These ladies were supermodels. Not only did they look great, they were suffering through extremely cold weather in those not-so-warm dresses!
The reception was all about the chandeliers. Loved them!
And out come the masks…

The thing about being a photographer is that if you are trying to do everything yourself, you end up spending about only 10% of your time shooting. The majority of your time is consumed with things like editing and other tasks done at the computer. Well, for the first 3 years of my business, I was a do-it-all-yourself girl. My husband, while VERY patient with me, didn’t exactly appreciate the hours I put in on my computer. There were many nights and many weekends where it consumed me. When Jay was born, I decided this had to change. So my quest for the last year has been how can I have more of my time back and still run my business the way I want to? The answer, get help. I’ve decided to focus on the areas that are my strengths and that I truly enjoy and find help for the other areas. Brilliant, you say. I can’t take credit for the idea, but I can take credit for FINALLY putting it into practice.
ShootDotEdit is one of my fabulous companies that helps me focus more time on the things that really matter in my life. They are the help I have enlisted to take care of my least favorite and most time consuming part of post-processing. They take care of white balancing all of the wedding images and converting them from RAW to JPEG. I still take care of the fine art editing, as I still enjoy that part. But them taking care of the the other part frees me up to have more time doing those things I enjoy, like shooting, getting to know clients and offering stellar customer service, doing album designs, and spending more time with my family. My husband is a very happy man! Thank you ShootDotEdit!
They recently took a look at my new website and asked if I would mind if they featured me on their blog. Would I mind?! Nope, not at all. What I didn’t expect was the really nice article they wrote about me and my work. What an honor! Read it for yourself… Click here to read the article.
