Happy New Year!!!

I'm a few hours away from celebrating a new year and ending a wonderful year. I'm excited about 2009. There is so much I want to do this upcoming year. I have set a bunch of goals and hope to be able to accomplish them in 2009. I have no picture to show today but I will have a ton more to come in 2009. Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New year!!!

Love alway's

Velia, Frank and Diego

Crazy weather..

If I was living in Chicago my heater would have been turned on and I probably would have been walking around with 2 sweaters and 2 pants. Not here in Florida. Today we had 80 degree weather. Isn't it crazy?

Just before the sunset which is my favorite time of the day (the golden time) I took Diego to get a few shots. Now I have to call Frank to show him how nice is here while he's overthere probably shivering. :)

Peek-a Boo Time!

2008 Favorites!

I can't believe the year is almost over. Last night I sat hours and hours organizing all my pictures and made a special folder for all my favorites of 2008. I am really looking forward to the new year and all the upcoming challenges.

Diego has grown so much and has developed a wonderful personality. He hit a huge milestone at the beginning of January (8 months) began walking. I'll have to look at the rest of the pictures at home to remember the rest of the big milestones. :) He has truly been a blessing in our lives. Each day he makes me smile and has brought so much joy. Before leaving to Chicago I have a cool idea of showing you his personality.

Here are a few I had on my flickr... I have a ton at home.

Eskimo baby!!!

We are getting ready to go to Chicago in a couple of weeks so I had to get this hat. He really worked the camera today :). My camera got here yesterday so I am still trying to learn all the features. What best way to learn .. My little model is awesome.

Christmas session Part1

It's been a while since I have updated this blog. To much going on to go into detail but I still shoot often and this month is going to be a super busy one. Today I attempted my first try getting out of the way a few ideas I've had. There is going to be 3 parts since the next shoot will be this Sunday and hopefully by then I get the black umbrella in.
So today I drove over to my friend Junlina house to get everything set up. I had to drag everything with me but I ended up forgetting the most important piece of equipment. If you guess the camera you are RIGHT. I can't believe I had left my camera. She lives a little to far so I ended up shooting with her Canon. I like her camera but I'm not great at all with a Canon. I felt I was off on everything. I'm not happy with them but on the reshoot I plan on going back to my Nikon. Nikon has everything different. Oh well it was the first attempt so hopefully things will go better.

Diego turned 19 months 2 days ago. He is doing so much but I will give a little update later. I'm going to bed now and of course here are a few pics.
