Family Fun!

Hi Everyone!
As the holiday season is in full gear I am feeling very blessed.I have really been enjoying doing so many family sessions!



This family is awesome. As always I loove capturing the dynamics between the various family members.



This family truly demonstrated that a family that plays together stays together.



The kid's found the best tickler ever! Provided by mother nature..Tickles all the way around.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I am thankful for so many things it would take a million years to list. In summary my family (who puts up with my craziness), my health ( I can still eat seconds of dessert and for that i am SUPER DOOPER thankful), my job which is so fun it's hard to call a job and for my clients. They are all awesome and have shared so much with me!

Thank you!!
-Mariana

Here is a family to whom I am thankful to.





I met them at a wedding I shot this past summer. She was a bridesmaid. And as fall began I was honored to shoot her whole family and I fell in love with their little cutie pie.



During the session I saw how much they love their daughter. They demonstrated concern (she fell in her new shoes), love ( lots of kisses)




and the hardest thing a parent can do: to let go and know a child will succeed on their own. OK I'm dramatic here but seriously they let this cutie run around and have fun, giving her enough space to explore and even taste a little dirt. ;-)



All while being close by in case she needed a helping hand.





Isn't her wavy hair precious?



Can't wait to see this cutie pie again!!



Bye bye for now.

Family is ......

Mother + Daughter+ 2 Xoloitzcuintcles!



We love our mothers, our daughters but we also love our dogs! And they love us unconditionally!!

This mother daughter duo is so amazing. I can't even begin to tell you how awesome they both are! I will just let you see how their beauty exudes from within.



I had a blast hanging out with these ladies in mom's home and her beautiful garden; home to huge nopales, lavender and gorgeous roses.



This little one was Fiesty!!





and this one was nothing but prim & proper all ladylike.



This last image isn't technically the best, however I love it because in 10-20-30... years, what each woman will remember is the relationship they had with each other. To me this says it all - a relationship so loving that siting at the kitchen table with each other is worth more than all the money in the world.



thank you ladies maybe next time we'll do a 3 generation picture with grandmom too!

One heck of a cute 1 year old!

Hi there!

I can't believe how fast a time goes by. Really.



This young man will be off to college before we know it! I am so honored to have been a part of his first year and look forward to seeing him as the years go by.



The session started out with a nice clean outfit.





However before it was over, this little one had came conquered and left. ;-)







I can't wait to see you again!!
