My Very First Post of the year.... Keep it real

Hello my friends and fellow photographers. I hope everyone had a great time celebrating the holidays with your loved ones. This time, for my first blog of 2010, I want to take a moment to talk about me. I will be brief.
I was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco and spent half of my life there, enjoying many wonderful years in the company of my loved ones. Our family was very humble, but we never missed a meal or were without a roof over our heads. I am one of the youngest of 9. I have 6 sisters, yes!! Six, can you believe it! Let’s not forget about my other 3 brothers; my poor mother!!
As a child, I would always dream a lot. I have always been and still am, in a way, a dreamer. I enjoyed the arts and photography. Since we didn’t have a lot, we made up games to keep us busy. We were very active kids; running, bicycling, running errands, skating and playing games with our neighborhood friends. It was fun!!
I still have my dad and he has his house in Guadalajara. My mother passed away 15 years ago and I can say that it was the most painful and saddest time of my life. I know that one day we are going to be together again, but right now, I miss her so much. I try not to think about her much because that makes me sad. I think about the great moments we had together…TONS of those moments.
When I moved to the states, I was able to meet wonderful and great people that were able to help me with my journey in this country. Without the help of them and my family, I could never have made it in this huge country; it can be very lonely, very lonely.
I have a brother whom I adore; he is the oldest one. We chat on the phone from time to time. He lives in Moorpark with his family and grandkids.
Being in this wonderful country has given me the opportunity of meeting my 2 loves; Fernando, my husband, and photography.
I think of myself as a very happy and content girl. I don’t get angry easily, but I do cry easily. I like silence. I love animals, and because of this I became a vegetarian.
I love the company of my dog Sammy, a small Chihuahua albino that barks a lot.:)
I love sunsets and long walks on the beach. I spend my money on photography equipment instead of clothing, although I do have a love for shoes!!!
One of the most memorable memories that I have was being able to visit Europe with my husband; we had a fabulous time.
I am happy to report that being a photographer has been one of the most important accomplishments of my life. I love what I do and I will continue as long as I am physically able.
I hope, by this, you will get to know me a bit more.



This is me, when I turned one...
