Here is a slideshow of the ultra-cute and cuddly Vargas twins, Ethan and Elias. It was quite an experience shooting 5 month old twins, basically, it's twice the work! But we had a great time with mom, dad and the boys.

Click HERE to check out the slideshow.

**On a sidenote....this slideshow software is still new to us, so we're still learning how to best "tweak" the images so they look their best on your screen. There's a lot to take into consideration, like so many different resolutions, screen size, download speed, etc.etc. So, I've tried to find a "quality" that will not only look good, but download quite fast. So, if slideshow takes a little while to start, just please be patient, it's worth it :)

That was just so beautiful. I love the pictures with their tongues out and the others with their feet touching. What a beautiful family. the ones at the end with the parents are very nice too!

Our great friends Carlos & Rubi are about to become parents in about a month-and-a-half! We are very excited to see their bouncing baby boy soon!

 

We convinved Rubi the other day to shoot a maternity session. Rubi is so funny, she was reluctant at first, because she thought she looked too "big"! After plenty of "you look amazing pregnant" comments, she agreed. We are so glad she did. Because she does look amazing!

 

Carlos & Rubi, thank you both so much for being awesome friends! We had a blast with you two in Europe last summer and thanks also for  the delicious dinner the other day, next time its on us!

 

We had never photographed a soon-to-be-mom before and I think we did pretty good, check out the photos.

I was just experimenting with a few different post-processing techniques this morning. The two colored images are faded with a blue-ish tone, me like! Still messing around with the black-n-white conversion, trying to make it look like black-n-white film used to look, especially paying attention to the grain so it wont look too "digital".

I love it when I can get some cool light sources in unexpected areas, like a parking garage. Not to mention that these images were shot with my now favorite lens, a 35mm 2.0 canon lens, which is tiny, lightweight, plastic and only costs like $200. Yes, maybe the "L" series of that lens is even better, but it also costs about $1k more! For a lightweight vacation lens, that you dont even have to worry about scratching, breaking or whatever, this little lens is just right....
