Maternity

Last weekend began as a long to do list, but it started off great and ended better. I slept in Friday, maybe 8:30, read my new book, Eleven Rings: The Soul of Success. It’s a great read and inspirational. My friends joked about the book, “Why are you reading about basketball?!!!” More importantly, it’s about […]

THREE PERCENT

Personal

My Saturday night going into Sunday midnight was spent on a couch pretending to watch a UFC fight. I dozed off several times or maybe slept through the whole fight, but I’m sure no one noticed. The best part of the night was spent eating Whataburger fries dipped in gravy on the ride home. FINALLY, […]

MY DEPTH OF FOCUS

Personal

2014…good times, great times, happy times, sad times, tough times. In a lot of ways it has molded me into a new person that I’m afraid to be. The last few months, how I act, react, feel, think, have changed. Really, I’m afraid to leave a lot of things behind and happier at the same […]

“FLYING DOVES” PART TWO: NEW YEAR’S EDITION

Personal

Eight months later, and here we are, documenting a love that flourished over a moment in time, an opportunity, a chance, to buy a girl a girly drink.

Weddings

I suppose I love Thanksgiving for the food. Most importantly, food any day of the week with my family. I enjoy the loudness as it echoes through the house, and our laughter as we share stories about our childhood. We get lost in our stories and forget we’re probably screaming in each others ears. Moments […]

Engagements

Our trip so far consisted of the “central market,” with a white honda civic parked in front, pupusas as our first meal, and Salvadorian oldies. Everything was going according to plan. Arrive to LA, eat at Central Market, and take the scenic road trip to Vegas. Four and half hours and many tumbleweeds later, we […]

WHEN YOU SET FANCY FREE

Personal

More sleep, less sleep, more pizza, less pizza… I’ve run out of ideas. There are moments when I feel like I’m just floating, like a chair in a surreal painting, preferably a Rene Magritte one. I just want to dive into a pillow and close my eyes for a few seconds. Where do I go […]

Turn Problems Into Flying Doves

Personal

As we are getting closer to the end of the year, I feel overwhelmed with goals and the fear of failure. I could have almost assured you that this shoot was going to fail. Because of me of course. The best way for me to deal with feeling awkward is to do something to the […]

“STOP STANDING IN THE SHADE”

Personal

There are days when I feel like I conquered the world, and there are days when I just want to watch Law and Order reruns. On such days, I lay on my balance trainer and meditate because really there hasn’t been much use for it, but to have a pity party on. Then, I get […]
