welcome to my blog

Sometimes people come along in your life and they are so special that you get TWO opportunities to spend with them. Paulina is one of those special people for me! Not only was she one of my students a couple of years ago, but when it came time to find a photographer for her quinceanera, she remembered me and it led to her family inviting me to be a part of this monumental time in her life. I feel so honored to have been able to see her grow up into a beautiful young woman and to be a part of a ceremony celebrating this transition in her life.

After spending time with Paulina’s family, I understand now why it was such a joy to have her as a student. They are absolutely lovely human beings! No doubt that they are responsible to creating the respectful, kind, gentle, and warm young woman that I had the opportunity to enjoy in class. As we walked around Balboa Park together and as we spent the evening celebrating Paulina, I was just so grateful to be around such fun, thoughtful people. Experiencing such a lovely day just reinforced why I love this BOTH of my professions!
