Birthday Party
I recently shot a "Dress Up In Historical Costume" Birthday Party. It was an absolute pleasure calling each girl to the sofa by the window so that I could capture them as they arrived.
I still find it hard to believe that two of the girls in ^ this montage are twins.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Psalm 139:14

Christmas with The Lopez Family / Part One
It's been such a joy watching this little one blossom through the lens.
This time around she was all set to go! Dolled up and ready to pose. I got a big hug "hello" and then we got down to business with Gia's solo shots while baby brother was napping.
Capturing the perfection of her favorite ornament on the tree was necessary.
Julio...he made an appearance & tried to steal the spotlight.
This girl obviously loves her Daddy. And he knows exactly what it takes to get her giggling.
Reality LA Baptisms
And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight immediately, and arose, and was baptized. Acts 9:18
Homeless 13
We've decided to bake a whole bunch of potatoes...wrap them in tin foil and pass them out as we go. Now that it's getting cold.
Facing Addiction
October 23, 2009.
We took pictures anyway and I got her to talk. She opened up about lots of stuff. Painful stuff. Stuff that I wish had never happened to her.
There was no way I was gonna let her leave in the state she was in so we kept talking. And talking. My husband was working behind the scenes to get her into a facility that night.
She did not want to go.
She was not ready.
She climbed into a taxi and it pulled away.
This morning, I asked Veronica's permission to post her photos here.
She gave it to me.
I also asked her to write down her thoughts on addiction.

This is what she sent...
On the dark side of the spoon your dreams get mutilated beaten and fucked raw. Hell doesn't know it's fury. There wasn't a force on earth that could have prepared me for the roads I was going to walk. I made it out of the muck barefoot and barely breathing. On the dark side of the spoon you are as lost as a blindfided person in a black room looking for a black cat that isn't there.
I watched her eyes search for me through all the chaos. Too busy playing too deprived of a mothers love so Sweetly so hurriedly desperately blindly she followed the sound of my voice until her eyes found me and her fingers touched me to realize I was not the mother she knew. she knew i was lost on the dark side of the spoon.
