la vie en rose

So lots going on, but I don't want to get into that, instead lets get into a picture post!

Wednesday June 20th was Joey's HS graduation day.


She's the nerd with a big smile! j/k I love you!

I'm so proud of Joey, she finally did it and now she's got the whole rest of her life ahead of her. It was pretty hard holding back gigantic sobs of joy when they announced her name.

Familia Bonales. This is our first ever family picture. I'm not kidding. I'm seriously happiest when I'm with them.

Cut to Thursday June 22nd where I spent the whole day with my best gal pal Amy who was in town on tour with The Samples. The band was playing at Hollywood Park racetrack and I had soo much fun running around with Amy flashing our All Access pass hahaha.




Andy Warhol is permanently in my heart and hanging from my rear view mirror. Amy pretending to make a call in a sketchy phonebooth inside the even more sketchy casino.










We found a little pack of kittens under the bushes.





Then The Samples show got under way.





















Thanks so much to Amy and The Samples for letting me hang out!!

Saturday I shot a wedding with Helen which stressed me out sooo much that later that night I didn't want anything to do with cameras and didn't bring my camera to Blow Up. I still had way too much fun and got the ball rolling for some events Ceaser and I have up our sleeves.

Update:9/19 I decided that was the worst picture ever even if it's funny. OMG

This photo makes me laugh everytime I see it. I look so frustrated and Ceaser looks soooo free and happy. hahahaha. I never knew how much fun you could have with bottles of champagne and business cards.

This weekend is going to be absolutely amazing. I can't even talk about it. No seriously. I can't. xoxo

all you need is love...

So here it is:



The next chapter of my photography life. Wish me some luck yeah.

p.s. How awesome was BlowUp this sat?

oh no.

So, for some reason I wanted to try out Wordpress. No good, I'm not even gonna get into the details about how much time I wasted doing that. But curiosity killed the cat and i ended up deleting everything!! Thank god my web server backs up files on it's own and now i'm in the process of getting it all back. At least the basic stuff is up and all i need are the photos.

Anyway, lots of things going on, trying to get it all figured out, hence the complete lack of posts lately, but once i get settled, photos will be back up and the fun will continue! Have an awesome sunny June day!! wooo!

mom

This is very very late, especially since next weekend is father's day. But you know what they say, better late then never. There pictures are from mother's day when we took my mom to brunch at Ponte Winery in Temecula.


This picture is from the day before when I went to smog check my car somewhere around Pomona. Awesome.






I'd been here before to shoot some pictures for work, but didn't realize how beautiful it really is until this time around.


Tent for brunch.










Mom and Dad. My mom kept saying how special she felt hehe.




Yummy cupcakes and never ending mimosas = me very happy.




trouble.


I was wrong last time, 25 years together since cinco de mayo!

just breath

So things are changing around here and I couldn't be more excited. I'm on the verge of many good things and Fotoluxx finally being able to work at it's highest and most creative capacity. I'm going to be launching a new site for my upcoming venture; wedding photography. I've gotten to work a few weddings in the past months and I just love it! I'm so amazed at not just being able to be a part of such an important moment of a persons life, but being able to capture it in a photograph. And creatively it's such a challenge! It's going to take a bit of time before I'm completely ready to launch everything that will present myself as a wedding photographer. I'm just gonna have fun with it, get creative, and get crazy. Also if anyone is interested in letting me take your picture, let me know, I could use as many models as possible. More info later!
