The Zuniga Family

Today we had the pleasure of taking family photos of some good friends of ours. Today's shoot was great for us because we had the opportunity to shoot at an exclusive town club location. My wife and I have been trying to get this place for over a year now. Our previous requests had been rejected by management in the past. But for this shoot we decided to try again and still didn't really think we were going to get it. I showed up yesterday and talked to the manager with a mindset thinking that I may be wasting my time and hers. Then to my amazement she said "Sure, but you can only shoot for 1 hour." I don't know what it was that convinced her to let us shoot in their lounge but I didn't give her time to reconsider, I said, "Thank You" and left right away.

The Zuniga family was great to work with. After we finished with our hour at the town club we proceeded to an outdoor location. We went to the rocks across from the university and the wind was so rough we knew this wasn't going to work out. So, back to the downtown area we go. The weather was beautiful today, very cool with no humidity. It was a perfect day outside.

In closing, we want to thank the Zuniga family for the opportunity to work with them. It was a pleasure. Danny, Brandi, you two are a beautiful couple with two beautiful children. Hope we get to work with you again in the future. Mark, Alex, you two were great today. Thank you again for Priscilla's birthday gift. It is greatly appreciated.

Little cousin...Samantha

Today was the first shoot we did since making this blog-spot. We had the pleasure of working with one of my family members...Samantha. This is the first time that we have worked with Sam (as we all call her). Picked her up early and headed out to get the day started. First we took her to one of our familiar locations which turned out to be a not so good choice. As soon as we got there we were attacked by big blood hungry mosquitoes. Needless to say we left just as quick as we got there. Then we were off to a more open breezy area of town. Temperatures today reached about 95 degrees and we did quite a bit of walking to get to some of our locations. I must say that once we were shooting, Sam was very comfortable in front of the lens and needed very little direction from me. Through all the walking, mosquito swatting and hot, humid conditions, Sam was a trooper. Our experience working with her for the first time was great. My wife and I enjoyed it.

Sam, thank you for being an excellent client today. Your pictures turned out great. We look forward to working with you more in the near future.
