Christmas 2017

This Christmas was all about the kiddies. Last year my niece Harlie was only 2 weeks old, My sister Julissa had a belly, and not to mention it was a pretty sad holiday due to two family losses. Though are hearts are still heavy we couldn’t sulk in sorrow. Christmas has an unwritten rule, pajamas all day!
Now that our family is expanding and the kids are a little bigger it’s time to start new traditions. As an adult the holidays tend to be pretty lame, so now that I had live humans to spoil, I’m going to go broke doing it.
Harlie is still learning how to walk, and my nephew Amaury is in his teething stages, and time seems to go by fast and slow all at the same time. My dad made a surprise appearance as Santa Clause to surprise his grand kids. They seemed more confused than anything, hahaha.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, surrounded by loved ones.
Many blessings to you all!

I love when I get to use my camera for feel good moments. My cousin Sasha is expecting her second child, and I was in charge of the photos. She didn’t want anything fancy, and wanted to a cozy night in at home, so that’s just what we did. I also had the opportunity of shooting her first, so now that it’s time for number two, big brother Jonahs was ready to get in on all the fun. He did such great job!

Family: Thanksgiving 2017

This poor pig never had a chance.
This year I didn’t really have plans. I was going to volunteer at the mission like I did last year. I guess my body had something else in mind, because I woke up around 1pm, exhausted.
Mami and I spent our whole day watching Christmas chick flicks back to back. Once 9pm hit, we figured it was time to stop being couch potatoes.
When we walked into Goonie and Tio Henry’s house the first thing you noticed was the full pig on table. I’m a huge carnivore, don’t get me wrong, but seeing my meal with a face, always makes me sad.
Before our meal, we all prayed, picking on each other at the same time. Our meal was delicious, especially that mac n’cheese. We laughed and gossiped like most Dominicans do, and my 4th glass of wine let me join in a bit!
I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, with full bellies and full hearts ♥

Photography: She’s Making a Human Part 2

Part 2 of my shoot with my baby sister. This time her beau Mauricio hopped in on the fun, and they are just so adorable. I love the way they look at each other.
My dad is happy he’s going to be an abuelo again, look at those smiles!
