Mr. Luiz...

Today's adventure was hands down one of my memorable ones to date. I have the blessing of taking pictures for a dear fried of mine, Eric Luiz. We drove around Huntington Beach and we found some neat locations. I've known Eric and the Luiz family for many years... I even took his sisters senior pictures! Here are some of my favorite from the afternoon.

Eric, I can't wait to see where God guides you on your new phase of life! You are such a blessing to me and it's an honor to call you my friend and brother! I pray that you have a GREAT college experience and you never forget to let God guide you.

Mr. Plotz...

 Coming up to Santa Clarita for the day, I had the pleasure of spending the day taking pictures and hanging out with Stephen Plotz today. Being here at school makes it difficult for me to drive down to So Cal and take pictures of those back home, so instead Stephen came up here for the day. Not knowing where to take pictures, we decided to drive throughout Santa Clarita and see what we could find. In doing so, we found this beautiful residential area where we decided to stop and take some pics. After that, we returned to my school and took some pictures there and hung out the rest of the day.

Stephen I pray that as you continue your studies at Cypress College that God would continue to richly bless you! I pray that your passion for photography would grow and that you are able to bless many people with your talents. Thanks for a great day and I look forward too seeing you continue to grown into a man of God!

Mr. Reyes...

With me going back to Master's quickly approaching, I wanted to take time and take pictures of one of my most trusted and favorite models in the world... my brother! So we took some time out of our busy schedule and went down to the Orange Country Performing Arts Center and took a couple of pictures. It got a little awkward at times with all the people working at the bank returning to the office from their lunch break... but not to worry, we managed. We were totally blessed with perfect lighting and an overcast day, thank you Lord!

Eric, I just want you to know that I love you SO MUCH dude! I am truly thankful to God for blessing me with you as a brother. As I prepare to head back to school, may you continue to hold God's hand in EVERYTHING you do. Remember that the same God who created the entire universe with His mere words, cares about you and want's you to strive and glorify Him. I can't wait to see where God continues to stretch you, and all the wonderful things He has planned for you!

I LOVE YOU!

Miss Hinton...

So today I had the joy of taking pictures of a long time friend. I have known the Hinton family since I was about 7 years old! I've know Hannah almost her entire life, so to see her graduating High School makes me realize just how fast time flies! For her senior pictures, we went down to the beach and enjoyed the BEAUTIFUL weather and gorgeous ocean! We had a BLAST taking pictures surrounded by God's beauty.

Hannah, as you finish this chapter in your life and begin the next chapter, I pray that you would continue to seek God first and hold on to His hand. Whether you go to Master's or wherever he leads you, just remember that God's plan is always perfect! May God bless you immensely in EVERYTHING you do!

Cousin Love...

So yesterday I had the joy of taking pictures of two of my beautiful cousins, Brenda and Vanessa. We went down to one of my favorite beaches, Victorian Beach and had a BLAST. After almost getting drenched and washed away due to high tide, we were able to fight it out and come away with some AMAZING pictures. For Vanessa, these were her senior pictures. I can hardly believe she's a senior already!!! Brenda on the other hand, while I was not able to take her senior pictures 2 years ago, I made it up to her and she got some pictures of her with her boy.

Brenda and Vanessa, thank you for such a great time yesterday. I love you both VERY much! I look forward to seeing where you both continue to go in life. You both are always in my prayers.

My little man...

So to start off the new year, I was able to go and enjoy one of my favorite soccer players in the WORLD dominate on the field... ISAAC REYES! I have literally watched him play since he was a wee baby. Now he's dominating the soccer field playing signature soccer for Fullerton Rangers. The game I went to ended in his team winning 2 - 1, and Isaac was all over the field controlling the pitch. It was a GREAT way to start the new year!

Isaac... my little man! I love you very much and it's always a joy to watch you play and give it your 2,000% I look forward to going to more of your games and watch you play hard for the Lord. DO WORK!
