This past Saturday I had the opportunity of covering Belinda & Omar’s Wedding. Emotion was in the air all day long, from the time Belinda was in her room for the last time being single to when she came down and let her dad see her for the first time. Omar’s mom was also very emotional at church and when she danced with Omar. The reception was held at Rancho El Charco, with catering from Rio Cafe, music with Rock n Roll James.

A few weeks ago I got a text message from Ashley letting me know that she was back in town and wanted to do some pictures, a few days earlier I had been speaking to my cousin Zuri Reyes about doing a session using her hair and makeup talent.

Cindy…my cousin….my 2nd mom

2011-01-28T17:03:00.002-06:00

A few months ago I was driving to the studio in Weslaco and I got a call from my mom. She had some terrible news. She was calling to let me know that my cousin, Cindy, had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Many things crossed my mind, but the one that stands out was remembering when we were younger. My brother and I used to spend most if not all afternoons at Cindy’s house. There were the typical kid fights, pulling, pushing, & hitting among the 3 of us…normal kids stuff, but the one thing that stood out was the love that we all have for each other. Cindy was always standing up for us, not only with kids, but also with our parents. When I was in Kinder I broke my wrist when I fell from the monkey bars, but someone started a rumor that another kid in my class had pushed me causing me to fall and break my wrist. I don’t remember exactly how or what Cindy did, but she went up to the kid and wanted to beat him up. It was during that time that my brother and I started saying she was our 2nd mom.

A few months after being diagnosed with this terrible disease Cindy is doing really good. She has gone through many ups and downs and is still going through her chemo (only 3 sessions left). What surprises me is that every single time that I visit or she comes over she has a smile. Yes the chemo may bring her down…but only for a few days and then she’s back to herself once again, showing courage and encouraging other people who she has come to know thanks to this disease. Many people only wish to have the strength that you have shown, the great spirit with which you have confronted this “bump” in the road. God has a purpose for EVERYTHING and hearing you yesterday kind of gave me the feeling that you know what it is. I know this is hard to say, specially at a difficult time like this, but God is good, and I know that the courage, strength and good sprit comes from Him. May God bless you today and always.

Love you tons cuz!!!

Hace unos meses iba manejando al estudio en Weslaco cuando recibi una llamada de mi mamá. Tenia unas muy malas noticias, me llamo para avisarme que mi prima Cindy habia sido diagnosticada con cancer de mama. Me vinieron a mi mente muchas cosas pero una resalto y fue recordar cuando eramos chicos. Mi hermano y yo soliamos pasar las tardes en casa de Cindy. Habia todo lo normal…peleas, empujones, y hasta golpes, lo normal entre niños. Pero ante todo siempre resaltaba el amor que habia entre los 3. Cindy siempre nos defendia, y no solo de otros niños, pero tambien de nuestros papás. Cuando estaba en el kinder me cai de unos juegos y me rompi la muñeca, pero en la escuela alguien empezo un rumor de que otro niño me habia empujado y habia causado que me cayera rompiendome la muñeca. No se exactamente que, ni como, pero Cindy fue a buscar al niño y trato de golpearlo. Fue durante ese tiempo en la que le empezamos a llamar nuestra segunda mamá.

Meses despues de haber sido diagnosticada con esta terrible enfermedad Cindy esta muy bien. Ha pasado por altas y bajas y todavia esta llendo a las terapias de chimioterapia (solo faltan 3). Lo que me sorprende es que cada vez que la visito o ella viene a visitarme, ella tiene una sonrisa. Si las terapias la tumban…pero solo por unos dias y luego regresa a ser ella misma demostrando su coraje y entereza. Tambien ha estado animando a otras personas a las que ha conosido gracias a esta enfermedad. Mucha gente desearia tener el valor que has demostrado, el gran espiritu luchador con el que has enfrentado esta etapa de tu vida. Dios tiene un proposito para TODO lo que nos pasa y el haberte escuchado hablar ayer me dio una idea de que talvez ya sabes cual es ese proposito. Ya se que es muy dificil decir esto en momentos como este pero, Dios es bueno, y se que ese valor y coraje vienen de El. Dios te bendiga hoy y siempre.

Te amo prima!!

Yessica – Photoshoot

2011-01-24T15:51:00.002-06:00

I was really anxious to post this photo session because it was done a few months ago but for different reasons Yessica had not seen the results of the session. Yessica was one of the singers for the group "La Onda" and also was part of Univision's reality show "Vive el Sueño". It was also my first time working with the “"EGO" man himself…Jorge Gonzalez, who did an awesome job with the hair and make-up.

Ya estaba muy ansioso por compartir las pics de esta sesion, la cual hicimos ya hace unos meses, pero por diferentes razones Yessica no habia podido ver el resultado de la sesion. Yessica fue una de las cantates del grupo "La Onda" y tambien fue parte del reality de Univision "Vive el Sueño".Tambien fue la primera vez que trabaje con el “"EGO" man…..Jorge Gonzalez, quien hizo un trabajo fenomenal con el peinado y maquillaje.

Ashley – Cotillion

2011-01-21T15:07:00.003-06:00

This session was really fun, got to go back to one of my favorite locations. Best part was that Ashley, her mom and sister really loved the place. It was one of those sessions where you just go with the flow…and Ashley did an awesome job. The only downside was….I fell…first thing I checked was the camera but everything was ok. Check out a few of my favorite pics of the session:

Esta sesion fue muy divertida, regrese a una de mis locaciones favoritas. Lo mejor fue que a Ashley, su mamá y a su hermana les encanto el lugar. Fue una de esas sesiones donde dejas que las cosas fluyan…y Ashley realmente hizo mi trabajo muy facil. Lo unico malo fue….que di un mal paso y me cai….pero lo primero que cheque fue que la camara estuviera bien. Aqui unas cuantas de mis fotos favoritas:

Esta fue la primer sesion fotografica en el estudio nuevo. No pudo haber sido mejor, y no pude haber tenido a una mejor persona en esta primera sesion. Harlie, espero te la hayas pasado de perlas…yo si. Aqui unas pics de la sesion.

Niña Rock en TV Azteca – Segunda Oportunidad

2010-05-01T15:48:00.001-05:00

Back in November my very good friend Gerardo Garmendia and I went to Monterrey Mexico to film a music video for the Band Niña Rock (I posted some pics of the behind the scenes). One of the members of the band, Jose Antonio de la O, was part of the first ever “La Academia” in TV Azteca (something like American Idol) and he was invited to participate in a new show. This show is for past participants of “La Academia” and is giving them a second chance. Well this past sunday his band had the chance to go on the show and surprise him, giving him a copy of their newly released CD. The look on his face when he saw them was worth the wait. Here are some pics of that day. Thanks guys for allowing me to be part of this adventure!

I want to share with you a few images I was able to capture at a recent wedding of some details.

Updates --

2010-04-12T20:43:00.001-05:00

It has been a while since I last posted. Its has been crazy around here, but its no excuse to have left my blog unattended. I have been busy with many different kinds of photo sessions, meetings, consultations and the like but I’m glad to say my Wedding season begins this weekend. It will be a full two months of non-stop weddings.

One of the reasons I was not here much is because my family has gone through some life changing experiences. Four years ago in June my wife were the proud parents of twins, a gorgeous baby boy and a beautiful little girl. The problem was that they were not due until mid September, but they came early. The twins were born at 25 weeks. After months of living a roller coaster of emotions with stays and 3 different hospitals we had to let our son go back home. Our little princess survived, and this June she will turn 4 years old. At about 18 months our princess was diagnosed with “severe to profound hearing loss” on both ears. Doctors said she would be fine with hearing aids, and from day 1 she liked them and never took them off; well unless with my wife or I would get after her, then she would reach for them and take them off! Well a few months ago we noticed she had reached a plateau and was not progressing with her speech. So we asked the Doctors what we could do and he suggested a Cochlear Implant.

I’m glad to say that this past April 7th she had the surgery and everything went great! No complications, and the test done show that the implant will very likely help my little princess hear. When they activated the CI she did not like it, started crying and took it off, but little by little she has been accepting it more. Today, she has worn them all day, and for some reason we notice that (at least when she’s watching TV) she has a huge smile on her face and her eyes have a different shine to them. God willing everything will work out for the best. Thank you to all who have been praying for our little princess, God listened to our prayers and she is doing awesome!! Thank you once from the bottom of my heart!

God Bless you all!

Niña Rock -- Behind the Scenes

2009-11-09T22:15:00.001-06:00

A few days ago I was invited by my good friend Gerardo Garmendia to help as the photography director for a video for a band called "Niña Rock” from Monterrey. I jumped on the opportunity and headed to Monterrey. We had tons of fun with the members of the band, Nice the drummer, Cuspi Base player, Lehi guitar and singer, and Toño guitar and singer. To my suprise Toño is better known as Jose Antonio de la O who participated in a reality show in Mexico’s TV Azteca. The show is called La Academia and Toño was part of La Primera Generación de La Academia, something like American Idol here in the US. Guys I had tons of fun, and I wish you much luck and success!

Maribel & Alex Wedding – Miami Florida – Deering Estate

2009-10-07T16:25:00.003-05:00

I had the awesome opportunity of covering this lovely couple’s wedding that took place at The Deering Estate in Miami. The wedding was coordinated and catered by Jose and Raquel Salcedo from Exquisite Productions in Miami. I had a blast with the couple & the guests. The ceremony was to be held outside, but rain was forecasted for the day, nonetheless Alex decided they should do it outside. Just as we were all heading outside it began to rain. Even with this outcome Maribel & Alex’s special day was not going to be ruined by rained. Here are some pictures of the day…

Disa & Mike Wedding Preview

2009-09-23T14:24:00.001-05:00

Disa and Mike are a great couple who are truly in love. This couple sure has a story to tell their kids…well 2 actually. First off, the Monday before the wedding day (on Saturday) Mike was taken to the Emergency Unit and hospitalized. It turns out it was his appendix and it had to be removed. Well Mike was not released from the hospital until Friday night…the night BEFORE the wedding. Saturday was a beautiful day and Disa was regretting not having her ceremony outside as originally planned, turns out it was one of the best decisions taken! Right after the ceremony we headed over to the studio, right next door from The Cortez in Weslaco. While at the studio…we had a huge Thunderstorm hit our area. Streets were flooded and they could not leave the studio. Thank God the reception was right next door. My dad brought his car in through the back, had Disa & Mike hop on and drove them next door to the reception hall. Well both Disa and Mike were drenched, but it certainly did not bring their spirits down….IT WAS THEIR WEDDING DAY! We had tons of fun and got some great shots. Here are just a few from that day.

Family Time

2009-09-03T18:11:00.001-05:00

This past weekend we were surprised with the visit of three of my four uncles who live with their families in Guadalajara Jalisco Mexico. Jorge, Enrique, & Daniel (my uncles) made their way to McAllen after being in Monterrey with my parents. It is basically a tradition that whenever we have family visit from Mexico we have a BBQ. Well because it was a surprise we were not prepared and they all wanted to go to Taco Palenque anyways so that is where we met. We had tons of fun, plenty of laughs and simply had a great time visiting with them.

Brandi

2009-07-15T16:36:00.001-05:00

We did some pictures for Brandi this past week in the McAllen – Hidalgo area. Before we even made the appointment for this session, Brandi brought up something that I think is very important. She asked if I would have an assistant (girl) with me at the session, I told her of course I did. I think that its very important that you bring along a friend, sister, parents, whomever to any photo session. I TRY to always have someone assist me at all sessions but it is not always possible, and that is when I urge my models to bring someone along. Well here are two of my favorite pics of the session. Enjoy!

Kike In Action

2009-07-15T11:20:00.001-05:00

Today when I opened my email I found these pics in my email. Thanks to Astrid Alonso (she spells her last name wrong..j/k), my niece, who helped me out in this session, but also got some shots of me in action. This was from a session we did a couple of weeks ago at South Padre Island.

Kike in Action! (Thanks Astrid)

I like showing the pics so that they can get an idea of what I’m doing.

Leslie & Jenny

This past Saturday I had the opportunity to have these to ladies in front of my camera. I had a blast with them even though one of them said she was not photogenic, I’m here to show her otherwise. I hope you gals enjoy the pics. Oh and at the end Jenny was almost eaten by all the mosquitoes at La Lomita park..(sorry about that! I hope it wasn’t that bad!)

This was one of my favorite pics of the day…I think it shows both of your personalities!! You gals rock!!!

Amalia – Preview

This past weekend I had the opportunity to do a shoot for Amalia. We started off in some place near Rio Grande City where we did some really great shots. From there we went into Rio Grande City and went into an old abandoned building where the roof is almost coming down, but we got some awesome shots there. We started driving back to Mission and I saw a side of a building where we got some great shots. We then just drove around and found great places to do some different kinds of shots, I want to thank Amalia for just going along with all my crazy ideas. She never once looked weird at me when I said..."why dont we try...." Thanks Amalia, you really did a great job! Here is just a sneak peak of your pics…enjoy!

Ashley came in because she needed some portraits for her modeling portfolio. We came up with some ideas and went to work. We did some shots in Weslaco, then traveled to Hidalgo, and finished up the session the next day at South Padre Island Texas. It was very tiring but it was fun fun fun!
