Baby's Family

, originally uploaded by Mariana Maya Photography.

It was sooo hot here in the Bay Area last weekend! Regardless Baby was a trooper and sat long enough for her family portrait. Well ok- she was being a bit of a Diva, but still gave me this beautiful pose.

Her mommy, had called me a few months ago to have me come over and do a very informal portrait session of the whole family. We were finally able to make it happen. You see her (human) mommy is a true hero! She's the one that shows up and saves lives when you call 911 and then transports you to the emergency room if needed. Despite having worked a full nights shift and having a 10am photo session she was still all smiles and beautiful.

Here's a few shots of the day...

It's too hard to tell which I was mesmerized by more. The Bike or the sky.

Last weekend the sky was amazing. Of course it was also due to a bit of rain, wind and even hail, however it was completely worth it!

So when I'm not at a wedding or shooting portraiture, I am out scouting around for great locations and practicing everything form angles, to lighting.

I had to post one more from Alvin's birthday.
Good times!!

Happy Birthday Alvin!

Last Saturaday I had the honor of photographing a super fun birthday party. It was held at Farenheit Ultra Lounge. Not only is Alvin one of the nicest guys ever he is also a great dj!

It was such a fun time see for yourself!

Starting off with a picture of Alvin and his beautiful wife.

PDA's

and not the kind that reminds you of your next appointment by beeping at you.
Public Displays of Affection: the kind that grab you on a whim regardless of location.

This is one of my favorite images from the whole day.. ok maybe one of a top 100. They were such an awesome couple to be around all day!!! I'm still smiling at all the fun EVERYONE had during the whole day.

I'm sure I'll be posting a few more sneak peeks over the next couple of days....

Stay tuned!

Presenting Mr. & Mrs. Aguilar!

February 8th was a great day. The sun was out, it wasn't cold the sky was gorgeous. It was as if mother nature showed her approval by presenting them with the perfect day.

The only regret I have is the day went by way too fast. I've waited a few days to post this, barely containing myself. I believe the newly weds are due to return from their honeymoon any moment now and wanted them to get a chance to see this before everyone else gets wind the promised slide show is up. ;-)
