Visiting a new city is always a great experience. What makes it even more memorable is when you encounter some amazing musicians playing for donations on the street! They do it because they are inspired, because they love it, because they just....have to. I always make sure to put some money into their tip jar, please do the same if they entertained you for a bit!

The photo below was taken in Puerto Vallarta last year. I'm so mad that the video file had issues and for some reason couldnt upload! The sounds and rhythms they created and played for like 15 minutes straight were captivating.

If you scrool further down, you'll see a few videos we captured with our little point-n-shoot camera while we were in europe last summer. Enjoy!

What if Dina quits her job and now does the photo thing full-time? What if it doesnt work out? What if our photo business isnt too busy this year? What if unexpected expenses creep up on us? What if? What if? What if?!?!!?

We asked ourselves the "what if" question over and over but finally decided that having Dina quit her job and take a much needed break was the right thing to do. Sometimes, we tend to run around trying to do so many things at once that we forget what it's like to focus on just a few things, but doing them at 150%. Thats what we decided to do.

Against so many peoples advice, Dina quit her job and will now be focused on being more involved in the photo business, in volunteer work, and being healthier. Those of you that know her know that her allergies sometimes make her life so miserable. Well, in just a couple of months off, she's doing way better with them; thus, making it even more obvious that we made the right choice.

Yes, we know the economy is kicking everybody's butt, including ours, but we prepared for it and we're going to try extra hard to make this work. So, little by little, Dina keeps learning and taking on different responsibilities at "work" :) Needless to say, she's my favorite employee! Seriously, she's doing great with the transition and I think she'll really help us give our current and potential clients an even better experience.
She's quickly learning more and more about post-processing, album layout, etc.etc. In the meantime, if you email us, you'll get a response from Dina, via email or phone call or text. Our customer service has now improved! Our goal is for us to respond to you almost instantly! Dina will get the job done. Try it :)

So, leave Dina some love via a comment!

As I'm trying out different sizes and shapes that I should be posting on the blog, I decided to see how a square collage with a bunch of different images would look. Quickly using images from German+Berenice's engagement session, I came up with the layout.

Once I saw the layout, it brought some more ideas to mind. I'll be posting some pics of that idea soon.

A few months ago we went with some friends to Magic Mountain. I decided to use my point-n-shoot camera to record us on the crazy roller coasters. I love the footage! If you are going to try this, just be ready, because you end up super-dizzy after every ride.

On this ride, Scream, it was really difficult knowing whether or not I was pointing at Dina’s face, but check it out, it turned out really funny!
