Christmas Card Time....

 

 Erika, Me - Tito & Niki

 

 GranMa Tere, Tia Teresa...

It's that time of year again and we did our best to get faces on cards to send out to everyone. It's actually the first time that I've had a picture with both Niki and Erika...We just forgot the kid, Aubrey...But I'll do her card later cause I have a picture of just her and me!!!

Merry Christmas everyone, Feliz Navidad...

My assistant...

 My assistant...Aubrey...keeps her eyes closed so the light doesn't bother her...

We went to the park, then came home to set-up the studio for a Xmas shoot with the Arriola's...That's Jesse, Lupe, Robert, Lauren and Jayde...

Aubrey is my lightmeter stand-in....like in model...

She does it all, holds the meter, triggers the light with the remote transmitter and then calls out the numbers so I can set my camera...

And it's not minimum wage...it's like a chcolate dipped cone and french fries...

Here is one of the pictures that we created for Xmas...

A day at the park...

 Aubrey...

Another day at Eisenhower park in Orange...I haven't picked up Aubrey in a while and so we miss going to the swings and feeding the ducks. Aubrey is a bit under-the-weather but still has a bunch of energy. Most of my pic's were blurred since she is so fast. Here are a few with her after I bribed her with a chocolate-dipped cone!

Aubrey tells me that she loves Katy Perry, but hasn't learned the words to the songs, yet...

Funny faces...

Aubrey Bella Velarde....

More pictures?  Is it that time of year again...wait...Thanksgiving is at the end of the month...Who wants to be a turkey?

Aubrey was trying to be good so she could get a set of headphones...No way!!!! She has too much energy....Running around like a chihuahua...

Happy Halloween!!!!!!!

 

The many faces of Aubrey...

The mordida...

 There are worms at the bottom of the snow cone!!!

 Aubrey and Me...What a hug!!!

Had a wonderfull time with the princess...Niki was my lighting assistant, then off to Ruby's for a burger and fries at the Orange Circle...

Pumpkin Patch time!!!!

 Lots of ripe pumpkins...

 Scarecrow....

Goblins aplenty to welcome you!!

 Fresh corn for the pickin...

 Princess Aubrey...

 In the haystacks...

Singing me a song....Watch out Gloria Estefan...

Got together with Niki and Aubrey for our annual trip into Santa Ana, Main Place Mall. They have a great pumpkin patch and let you take all the pictures you want, especially since I take all the boxes and umbrellas. Aubrey was singing and dancing the entire time and then she got a large shaved ice snow-cone with lots of worms and blood-red syrup....so much FUN!!!
