MJ 2 Day Trailer

During the MJ 2 Day workshop with the fabulous Melissa Jill, a videographer documented the day for a trailer video.  

Here it is:

 

I’m a firm believer that you have to keep learning and pushing yourself to become a better photographer and business woman. This workshop was just that, a little photography and a little business. If you follow her blog you will learn a lot, but meeting Melissa Jill in person and listening to her pour out information was just the right thing for me.  

Happy Friday!

Palacio Real: Monterrey N.L. Bridal Shower

Memorial Day weekend was a lot of fun. I traveled to Monterrey, NL for my cousin’s bridal shower. She has had quite a few, but his one by far has been my favorite because all of our family members were present.  The bridal shower was held at a prominent reception venue called Palacio Real.  

I have to say my aunt Martha did a great job coordinating the shower in Monterrey. It’s hard planning an event, even a small shower from out of town. She has a lot of experience, having done this for her three daughters already.  Maybe she’ll help me for mine too. :)

Victoria: Sweet 16

The Bay Oaks Country Club ballroom was buzzing with excitement with family and friends that had come from afar.  Victoria’s Sweet 16 was celebrated and it was an honor to document the evening.

Houston Portrait Photographer: Victoria

The day I got home from the MJ2Day workshop in Arizona, it felt like I literally stepped of the plane and headed towards a portrait session. 

Victoria’s Sweet 16 birthday celebration was that weekend and because the dress hadn’t come in we weren’t able to take the photos before.

It worked out wonderfully and the prints came in at the knick of time. 

Here are some of my favorites.
