We got together with Lupe and Jesse and the kids at Snow Creek Park.  Although it had rained all night long, it cleared and the skies were full of beautiful clouds.

We all had lots of fun walking down the trails...

Dia de Los Muertos...in Santa Ana!!!

 Beautiful artwork...Calacas


Just be here!!!


If you're in town...in the OC, I mean...Come into Santa Ana and join in the FUN!!! 

They're celebrating the 8th Annual Noche de Altares, sponsored by Calacas.  

Hopefully there will be costumed people that are camera-friendly...I'll have proof of that next week...See you there...










I did a project with a new meetup group.  We took pictures of these girls, they're involved with Women-Helping-Women, an organization that helps women turn their lives around and start new careers.  We took their photos for their website and also for their job interview portfolios.

Thanks to Julie, our instructor, for all the help in teaching us how to pose a person and how to interact with the clients...

Aubrey...15 months...



Niki, Dalia, Aubrey and I went to the pumpkin patch at Main Place Mall in Santa Ana for our annual and monthly photo session.  It is extremely difficult to keep up with Aubrey...she is all over the place...

We had so much fun and got quite a few good shots...I just love the way the sun's glow came thru Aubreys hair and highlighted her face...


We are doing her Halloween pictures in a few days...
