Derek Piniella & Michelle Garcia Engagement shoot

I had so much fun yesterday with this couple. We went to the famous Ybor City here in Tampa and found the best spots that brought out some fun qualities from these two, not to mention their inner model...I'm having a blast looking through the pix and processing them! Here is a sneak peak guys!






I can't wait to get working on some more!!!! Enjoy Cuz'n!!

The Parental Units

Nothing special about this picture except the people in it...no special affects or much retouching. These are the people who made me, 37 years and still going strong, through the grace of God. Not to mention looking QUITE good for their age..I wont say the actual age but I'll just say that they are in their 50's. I am blessed to have them around still as examples of perseverance. I still look to my dad for wisdom, I still care what he thinks, and I look AT him with the eyes of a daddy's girl! Lately I find myself looking at my mom realizing that I DO look like her no matter how much I try to deny it. lol. I look to her for guidance on certain issues that no man can help with. I'm a good blend of them both.

Wedding Day

Today my cousin is getting married! I love weddings. I'm a big time romantic. I love surprises, and love, and tears of joy, and soft kisses, and warm hugs, handmade gifts etc. I cannot wait to go today. I love watching God join together 2 people who were born for each other. I get very sentimental during these...THE ONLY time I shed tears. I love seeing the grooms face as he watches his bride march down to be joined to him. I love to look at the brides face as she's hear her husbands vows come from his heart. I wasn't fortunate enough to have a wedding so this might be why I love seeing others get married in this way...the white dress, the tuxedo's, the decorated halls, the family gathering to honor these two people who are the most important people of the moment. Speaking of family; this is another reason I look forward to today, I get to be surrounded by my entire family that I have missed so much during my time abroad (12 yrs). I am looking forward to laughing so hard I wake up with stomach pains. And dancing to my fave music (Salsa). Today is a beautiful day, a perfect day for a wedding.
HAPPY SATURDAY!!!!

Congratulations Lessett!
