We all took the day off and decided to celebrate Mardi Gras on Olvera Street yesterday. It wasn’t exactly what we expected, but getting out together for some family time was great and much needed. We followed it with a trip up Angel’s Flight and a picnic at Angel’s Knoll Park. Such a perfect day.

You are my best friend, most honest critic, and biggest fan. Though I may not always admit it because you and I are a prideful stubborn duo, I look to you for inspiration and motivation, and take comfort in the love you show me and the kids everyday. After nine years together I regret nothing, and continue to make big plans for our life that may or may not come to fruition, knowing either way we’ll have fun trying. After nine years, I’m still this happy to be with you….

I love you

Happy Valentine’s Day

I’m also saying goodbye to milk & honey studio. Seven years ago I had my first born. As many women do I lost my identity personally and professionally, so I took shelter under milk & honey. Using my name is me taking back something I’ve been missing for a while.

When I started shooting back in 1998, it was only with black and white film. While I’ve continued to use film, the black and white usage has dwindled and I miss it dearly, so you’ll be seeing more of that in my personal work and hopefully in other work as well…who’s up for black and white portraits

Lastly, I’ve been sick with bronchitis for a month now, but I’m currently kicking it’s ass! As I emerge out of this bog of sickness, I’m ready to shoot more and post more. So, I’ll hope you’ll stick around and enjoy what this year will bring.

Happy New Year!
