Nena ~ She's Having a Baby!

One of my bestest friends in the whole world is having a baby! We met in Los Angeles when I lived there and instantly connected because we are both from the South. I'm from Texas and she's from Mississippi. Those LA peeps could not handle the ruggedness that Nena and I grew up with. Between our group of girlfriends, we would talk about who would be having a baby first and the answer was always me. That's only because I have been married FOREVER! (Love you Sam!) Nena would joke that she'd be one of the last, well she proved us wrong.
So it had been only 4 months after moving back to Houston and I get this phone call from my hus-band saying "Have you talked to Nena?" and I'm like "No, why?" He says I need to call her ASAP. BTW, Sam spilled the beans to me before I even called her. I freak out! Then I take a few breaths, then I pick up the phone and have to dial her number a few times because I'm so excited. I finally get her on the phone and all that comes out is, "Hey, whats up?" I was speechless, but I said it in that tone. I think we can kinda read each others minds and she knew I knew. I then awake from my stupor and freak out, "Ahhhh I'm so excited! Tell me everything! Tell me how excited you must be?! How are you feeling?! Eeeeeeee!"
It's all been uphill from there and two weeks ago I finally got back out to LA for her baby shower and maternity portraits. Shes absolutely radiating beauty and love. She is going to be an amazing mother. I can't wait to meet little baby Gavin!

Congratulations Nena, your are simply beautiful.

Here is Nena and my assistant for the day, Laura. You rock! And that white

ghost in the red shirt with Nena is me. Wow I really need a tan!

Here is the first portrait session I did with Nena, pre-baby.

The Webbers ~ A Wedding

This was the most nerve wracking wedding I have shot in a while. Hopefully you can't tell. ; ) Here's why: this was my boss' brothers' wedding! And by boss, I mean the photographer I work for when I am not working for myself. The good part about this wedding, I got to use his intern as my assistant. Normally I do weddings all on my own with no worries or second thoughts, but being who it was, I was nervous because I wanted it done right.

I present to you the new Mr. and Mrs. Webber. She has the most adorable children; that little girl is a ham and I love it. You might be asking, "Where are the ceremony shots?" Well, this church does not allow that so I didn't get any. I was able to take a break and sit in the air conditioning for a while, so nice. Enjoy this beautiful afternoon wedding!

Tony Vega - A New Album

Meet Tony Vega. Tony is a musician, wait, an amazing musician. Amazing singer, amazing song writer, amazing guitar player; he's just all around amazing. I met him way back in 2000 I think, geez am I that old? Basically, I have know him for a very long time. He's working on a new CD that he describes as slightly different from the normal Tony Vega Band you might already know. I'm not going to give anything away, so you'll just have to wait. I'll tell you now though, that it is worth the wait.

Thank you Tony for asking me to help you with your new CD. I can't wait to hear it! And thank you Boheme for letting us shoot there. This place is amazing, oh and they have red and white sangria! Who doesn't love that?!

Check out The Tony Vega Band this Saturday, July 24th at Capone's in Houston, Texas.
