New Years Eve Wedding

Spent New Year’s Eve differently this year – working. Laura and I had the privilege of photographing Megan and Curt’s wedding. It was a beautiful winter theme ceremony. Here is a preview of the wedding, more photos coming soon!

Christmas 2011

Sunday brought Christmas! We went to church and family came soon after. I didn’t get many photos, perhaps after a few rounds of presents, I was tuckered out. 🙂

Christmas Eve The Dinner

Every Christmas Eve we try to have a nice family dinner. This year was a little different since Christmas was on a Sunday, we didn’t want to be up too late. So, we had an early dinner.       We went to church and came back to charcoal burnt...

Rubi Shows Off New Dress and New Shoes

A special Christmas moment was seeing her all dressed up for our Christmas Eve Service at church. We escaped for  a little while to take a walk around the empty halls, but as soon as someone came around and said hello, Rubí was sure to show off her new attire....

More Christmas Moments

Growing up, Christmas music, Christmas plays, Nativity Scenes, and Christmas Cantatas at Church were a part of the season. My sister, mom, and I participated in more than a few Christmas Cantatas. Often times the music would play in my head as we practiced for the special night or day...

Toilet Paper Restrictions in Catalunya

It seems odd to me, that a nation, or part of a nation I found near obsessed with body functions will now, in an effort to fix its financial crisis, limit school children how much toilet paper they can use. I mean, we all know that governments spend too much,...

Christmas Shopping

For as long as I can remember, as a family we would agree to meet in early December at a mall and together go Christmas shopping. Usually it would involve going out to eat and visiting almost every store in the mall. Of late, it’s mostly the women in the...
