Welcome to our Blog!

ABOUT US!
Let me tell you a little more about us. Alex and I are happily married and we work together at every wedding and photo session. We have three awesome children. Joey Victoria who is 2 years old and our twins Bianca & Alex, who were born in June 3rd 2015!
I love listening to music. I'm a huge Bon Jovi fan and when Alex isn't around, I'm usually singing out loud while working on the computer. I enjoy watching martial arts & figure skating; both of which I competed in when I was younger. I was pretty good in Tae Kwon Do, so you better don't mess with me... just kidding.
I love eating cereal, salads & sushi! My world wouldn't be complete without them! Sure, I'm a little crazy. And Alex is the official dishwasher at home and he loves cars and could talk about them all day. Our TV adiction is Shark Tank. We both are fluent in Spanish as it is our first language. We have a dog named Troy who always makes funny noises when sleeping. We love our life and each other and the freedom of creating images that reflect this crazy thing we are living called love.

Weekly Tip #2

Hi Dear Friends,

Here I am with our weekly tip.

Let me ask you something? What is the first thing that attracts your attention when you see someone's portrait? Of course, it's the eyes! The eyes are very important, as they tell us how a person feels at that moment and also shows us his or her soul through the light in their eyes. As a professional photographer, we will be able to get those catch lights in a close up portrait. Bright, clear eyes make portraits even greater!

Our tip for today:
Applying clear eye drops before a photo session will help to enhance your eyes and make you look rested. It will also enhance your eye color. Ladies, it's best to use the eye drops before you begin to apply your make up. It's a simple tip that will make a big difference.

Thank you for following us and stay on track for another tip next week.

Lorena & Kirk



Happy Monday!

Lorena & Kirk are happily married now and I want to show you a little sneak peek of their exciting "First look" moment. I honestly can say that I wasn't expecting these gorgeous shots, as we were running behind time. We only had about 15 minutes to do their first look, plus the sun had gone! However, we managed to rock this moment as always =), and the guys told us that they were very happy with their decision to see each other before the ceremony because it helped to ease their nervousness. They were so glad they could talk to each other and spend that time alone! Here are some
of those moments before walking down the isle!

Vanessa & Bruce


Sexy couple right Here!

I love the feeling of these images. Vanessa & Bruce are such a good looking couple, but more than that, they are a very kind and humble one.  We are so happy with the outcome of their session. They gave it a sensual and classy look! I love the slideshow we made for them. I think the song suits them perfectly.






















New Orleans Again!


Quick stop in New Orleans! So, this week we traveled to new Orleans to shoot an engagement session.   Our Awesome couple gave us a very sweet welcome, look at this!



David & Ximena are the Best!!!!



 New Orleans is full of amazing backgrounds so we started the day early (5:00 am) and explored the city. We found pretty amazing backgrounds. 



Awesome place!



Then we met with our couple David & Ximena. We walked in the streets of New Orleans and took fantastic shots of the guys! We just love this place. It is full of interesting scenarios! We'll soon post 
all the photos of their session, including the fabulous shots in Bourbon St. 










And finally, we had a pretty amazing Valentine's celebration Yay!. Right at that moment, the band was playing my requested song:
'Blueberry Hill" by Fats Domino!

Shannon & Kelli


Hello Friends! After a super fun Super Bowl weekend, we are ready to share more amazing photos with you. This cute couple just puts a smile on my face. Look at the love in the air, the joy and energy around them. Their smile is quite contagious and it made me want to try different techniques. Here is our very popular Downtown bridge, where many couples request to have their photos taken. It can sometimes be monotonous for us as photographers, hence, the challenge to make it look fabulous every single time is huge.  Check out our flashes coming from different directions, which created a more intense third dimensional look on our couple. I just love it! Here is our happy couple of the day, Enjoy!
