Utah Latinos Vol II

This year my picture and Bio 

were included in the Utah Latinos Vol II.

 A sort of photographic essay of a small group of Latinos.

This site is dedicated to celebrating
the Latino spirit by showcasing a small number of Utahns
 who have contributed

to the state of Utah

in an effort to bring about greater awareness of the role played by Latinos in our culture. 

 A great accomplishment in my professional life.

Girls...

As soon as I see the girls talking and relaxing in our patio

I'm outside with my Nikon...

I'm learning about angles and natural light ,

 it is really so much that can be done with the right lens. Beautiful daughters

are a great inspiration for photography.

Ladies retreat 2011

This week is my retreat with my girly friends.

 This is with our group of ladies that I've been scrapbooking and card making for about 15 years,

 we started our retreat 4 years ago.

First for a weekend,

 then we added a day and this year we are going for 5 days...

We are going up to a cabin in Tabiona, Utah. 

 We are leaving Wednesday morning and our first stop will be Archivers in Orem, from there to Midway for a bit of more fun shopping and then to our final destination.

 This picture is of my little project that I'm bringing for all the ladies to make,

 it goes in a square black frame,

makes a darling gift..

 Love makings small books like this

and they are fun to make.

For all that you teach me

and for your great kindness and sense of humor.
