Here are the images of the same lens and camera the next day outdoor! I absolutely love the bokeh and how much it separates the subject from the background and to think about it only on a 1.8 aperture. We shot these images in back a coffeeshop building at sunset time, surprisingly for a winter the weather has been so nice that I could be in a skirt and without a heavy jacket. Also let's talk about how the new Lightroom update has made editing so much easier, I couldn't believe how quickly I was able to finished editing this set. To be honest I kind of feel bad for myself for the past many years spending so many hours on the editing by creating presets and tweaking each image light graph etc while all I needed was this new update and I could have saved so much time!

This year the winter has been wonderful, it is not the cold that gets to me, but more the lack of sun. This years has been one of the sunniest weather and there is a nice balance between super cold days and 70 degree weather so I am a very happy girl! I took these self portrait on a tripod in our neighborhood park - I remember the weather had just started to get chilly in late November and I was so excited to feel the chilly weather and wear layers and warmer clothes.

Visiting a pumpkin patch during fall has been a dream! Fall has always been the busiest month for me, when I was in school I couldn't imagine doing anything else but to go to class and work on the weekend and find sometime to actually study and when I started working as a makeup artist and Photgrapher it got even more busy - with wedding season and family portrait and back to back events from Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas I never got a chance for the past 18 years that I have lived in Austin to check out a pumpkin patch field to get in the spirit of fall. But this year finally my long waited dream came true! I have been trying so hardly to slow down everything as my office job has definitely took over my life left very little room for anything else. One weekend in fall when Josh was traveling and sadly because of my job I couldn't travel with him so I decided to check out a pumpkin patch farm on my own! I packed my tripod and drove about a hour outside of the city to Barton Hill Farms in Bastrop, Texas! When I arrived I realized to my surprised the entrance tickets to the farm were all sold out, but since I was only one person I was able to get a ticket and get inside (note to self buy tickets ahead of time). Then I found myself in a heaven of fields of corn and pumpkins - the whole farm was set up as a photoshoot backdrop, sunflower section, hay rolls corner and my favorite corn field, not to mention couple antique cars and carriage decorated festive for the season. They sold food and snacks and had play grounds for kids, games all over the place and a small zoo with baby pigs and goats. I absolutely had a blast and  definitely hope that I can go back again every year.

I shot these on a Saturday early morning while location scouting for a photoshoot the next day. I rolled out of the bed at 6:30am and last minute decided to bring my tripod to test out some self portrait images - funniest thing is the minute I step outside the house it started raining! Somehow I decided I was still going to check the park out and by the time I arrived there it became sunny again! I am very happy that I didn't give up because not only I found some really nice locations on this walk, this self portrait was very helpful where I got try couple different features of the camera and get more comfortable with them. 

​I never thought standing infant of the camera could be this fun, thanks to our amazing photographer Angelica Carrette we were both relaxed and genuinely had so much fun during the the entire photoshoot. Angelica is absolutely amazing to work with, not only she is an expert in candid and in the moment shots, she is so quick in editing - we got these images back in less than a week! Truthfully, if this is what photoshoots are about I would be in front of cameras all day everyday!

The flower bouquet is a gift from Josh's sister, the bike is a recent purchase of mine from Target (I have been looking for a retro white bike for eternity and finally I own one!) My white outfit is actually a white bodysuit paired with a maxi chiffon skirt that I bought on Amazon and the green dress is a thrifted find.

These beautiful images were taken by my talented photographer friend: Angelica Carrete  and I absolutely love them - we shot them by Barton Creek Trail against my all time favorite nature's green backdrop. This is actually a first year I took a portrait session on my birthday, and I think it is a lovely idea to capture myself frozen in time to have images to look back to recall the past. I see more people are reaching to me and requesting a birthday portrait and I truly hope it becomes a trend, I don't think we take time to focus on ourselves as much as we put everyone and everything else a priority in outlives.

I have new headshots ! My old headshot was shot when I was supposed to do makeup for a photoshoot and the model was late, so the photographer asked me to sit on to set up the light while we were waiting lol This time wonderful human being Regan Sullivan shot these beautiful shots which I am absolutely love how natural and real they turned out :) 

I am so glad I eventually have a set of pictures with this graffiti wall . . words are that it will soon be demolished! So when Paulina came to town this summer from Mexico we took her around the town to explore the touristic spots, when we finished the photoshoot, she offered to take these images of us together. They turned out absolutely beautiful and I could not have been more happier with them :)

Spring 2018 Catalogue Campaign for the Clothing Store Bella Desi 
This is the only official photoshoot I worked for, it was collaboration to showcase these outfits for mass production catalogue and I have to say I was very nervous because it was my first time a designer trusted me to model their outfits for them :)
