PictureCastro neighborhood in San Francisco
      I have decided to carry on the Instagram famous hashtag of Throwback Thursday (#tbt) on this blog. For this post, I am sharing photos from my first time in San Francisco with John back in April of 2010. It was our second trip together and we had an amazing time, despite the rain. We walked around the city and visited China Town, Haight & Ashbury, Castro, Golden Gate, downtown, and North Beach. I can definitely say that this city has art everywhere and has an ample amount of photograph opportunities.  The color, the scenery, the people....I loved it! When you have a chance to go, please take your camera and document everything!

I had the pleasure of working with my new photographer friend, Merari, who offered to do a shoot for me. These were taken about 2 months ago and I LOVE THEM!! Make up was done by Giovanna Paremo.

Back in March, a friend asked me and John to be their wedding photographers. We accepted and the following are some moments that I thought were black & white appropriate. To see the rest in color, click here.

As soon as I saw these red booties, I knew I needed to have them. It can instantly add a pop to any outfit. In this case, a camo jacket and a pop of red in instant gratification. It's always a great combo!

On Jimmie's actual birthday, we all went to celebrate at Chuck E. Cheese. It was great to see him and his best buds join him on his special day. Happy birthday, little Jimmie!

Jimmie turned 5 a few days ago. For his birthday, we all decided to go to the magical kingdom: Disneyland. It was hist first visit and may I say that it was a long day. In the end, it was great to see the childrens' excitement. I hope they remember all the memories that we created that day.

Decided to try a different hair style. I wanted a new look and I feel like when you have your hair on one side, it brings sexyness.
