10 Years Anniversary !!!!

Hello everybody... I want to tell you that TODAY is one of the MOST IMPORTANT days of my life !!! Today is a GREAT MILE-STONE in my life !! Can you believe? I am 10 years married !! I have the MOST exquisite Girl in the entire planet !!! My Silvia is my entire world !! Did you all know that? Well if you didn't, now you know.

10 years ago, I got sealed in the Lima, Peru LDS Temple and since then I've been happily married. We have 3 beautiful daughters with us and one other daughter in the way... yeap! she is being born in the last weeks of March this year and we are so anxious to have her with us. My Silvia is currently pregnant and she has 7.5 month in her pregnancy.

And since we have small children at home we are not planning a big social event, but enjoy this milestone to ourselves and make each other as happy as possible... the same way we've been doing it for the last 10 years.

One thing you all need to know is that as every couple in the planet, we had our differences and some times not so pleasant situations; but as few couples in the world know, we try our best to manage those situations and we try as hard as possible to make everything as smooth as possible; at the same time we are always trying to be calm at home and do things that please the other... you know, making family and couple's life. And one last thing: I would never change my family life and marriage for anything.

Now, I want to share this time some of our last family photo session images for you to see and enjoy my entire family and to have some fun with us. This session was about a month ago in my studio, by me. Let me know if you have any feedback.

















I hope you had enjoy this images as much as I do every time I see them. Let me know if you have any feedback and/or comment.

Take care.

ABC Best Reporter

Hello to all of you once more; it’s always fun to be in touch like this.

Let me tell you, in my profession as photographer I have great experiences and opportunities that put me to think a lot …well, today was once of those days that put me to think that everything in my career goes really good, and life is super good !! About a week ago I received a phone call from a some-time-ago customer, a girl who I did her Engagements, Bridals and Wedding day about 4 years ago, Her name is Hailye Higgins, married to Zack Lewis. Well, she wanted some photographs done for her biography for her job.
This morning we met in my studio… well, let me tell you, she did look amazing. She is one of the best reporters in Idaho for “abc” affiliate channel 8 and I am so happy and excited to be her photographer; and now she is the reporter that has the best photograph in the biography page in the whole state… (I made that sure).
I am posting a couple of her photographs for you to look at them and I am sure you will agree with me.




Beside the great experiences I have with most of my customers, I have another set of great experiences in a different aspect of my career; this last week after a nice storm I went into a higher elevation area and took some of this sunset scenes. I hope you like them as much as I do.




Well, let me know what you think.

Thanks… I’ll see you around, you all.

Air Fair Fun

Ok, I hope everyone of you had a great weekend... well, let me tell you, I had a super weekend myself; I spend all day long with my wife and children doing fun stuff and visiting my brother and his family. Yeap, totally relaxed and family oriented weekend.

Now, I was wondering about what photographs I could share with all of you this week, and since I just had Bridal sessions (and all of my brides requested PRIVACY) I will not post any of them here today, but after they get married.

I found an activity I did for my photography, where a friend of mine, Matt and I went to fly in his Cessna plane about a month ago... I had found that experience fascinating, and worth of taking a closer look of those photographs.

We are planning to go again some time during this winter, so we can have more photographs from some other areas from the air; but, we will see if we can do it again.

In the mean time I want to share this images with you, and I'll explain what were we doing when I took them... so seat back and relax because you are now going to experience a nice ... experience.

This is the plane that Matt has... is a two passenger (as you are going to realize from other photographs).

This is my friend, Matt, coming out from the plane,while making sure that everything is perfect for flying. Those clouds in the sky that you see are leaving the area, so we had a beautiful sunset for our photographs. He is a pilot by profession and a photographer by heart.

Now, this shot shows, once we were in the air (as you can see it too) I turn around my seat and this is what I saw... there was nothing else behind me !!! The plane was small and all shaky, but sturdy enough to take us around and back with safety.

Ok, This is Matt, the owner of the plane, amateur photographer and excellent pilot. I took his silouhette agains the sunsetting sun behind the mountain in the corner of his window. We had the mountain in front of us while we were cruising the air... to be honest with you ... it was a breath taking experinece; it was my first time flying in a Cessna and, even though I was a little aprehensive at first, a few minutes after I was all enjoying it.
And as the last image I will share in this part of my blog, I want you to see ME !!! he, he, he; here I am with Matt in the cockpit trying to have a shot of both of us. I think it turned out good enough. I am wearing the head phones that we use to communicate to each other and to listen the air control tower.

Now that you saw my experience in the air, I want to invite you to see the photographs I took in this event and I have for exhibition. They are in my web site, in the Fine Art section.
