F A M I L Y Life is so so precious. And fleeting. As you grow older, your life becomes a collection of experiences and memories. Photos are the breadcrumbs we leave along the way to help us record our history. Our people. At every stage of our lives, and theirs. These breadcrumbs take us down the path of remembering. Who we were and who they were. And the journey is beautiful. And the more breadcrumbs, the better. This shoot was just so special to me. We had big plans with an entire exact schedule (hello wedding photography shoot list) of everything we wanted to shoot. And we sorta stuck to it…mostly hahaha. The girls were curious and happy and definitely were in charge of how long the shoot went, what outfits we liked and how many photos we would take haha. And they were all amazing. Because they are real and capture them exactly as they are. The outtakes and faces we got were just so incredibly precious. I could have photographed this beautiful family all day, every day. And…having Thalia and Hernán come in after their amazing maternity shoot when Thalia was pregnant with these adorable twins, Camila and Valentina, was just such a treat. They are the sweetest and most beautiful girls with the best disposition and with so much character! I may have squeezed some cheekies or two. There is nothing “mini” about my shoots ever (well the little humans are mini ha☺️). I want my clients to have the same luxury experience when they are in my studio and never feel like they are rushed, especially with little ones who need time to warm up. What a treat!!!! If you are ready to book a special session with your little ones, or your big “I-don’t-wanna-be-in-photos-mom” kids, or your adult kids, or your parents…we would love to have you in the studio and help you leave some amazing breadcrumbs for generations to come.

F A M I L Y Finally showing off more photos from the Sharpless family photo shoot in the studio. They are so cute together and little Jeriko is such a loving happy boy who has his mom and dad wrapped around his fingers! When I see photos like these I always know how much they will mean to all of them years from now. Mom and dad when they reminisce about the times when he was still a little dude. When they reminisce about their lives together, and Jeriko when he shows off these photos to his kids one day. Family photos never go out of style. They will always be important and it’s never too late to book yourself a family photo session. One day you will be glad you did. So ladies, have your family join you at the end of your shoot, after your hair and makeup is done by this talented woman in the studio and create some wonderful memories to last a lifetime! Stay tuned for some special announcements for my clients! Remember Christmas is coming! Holidays are upon us and you don’t want to wait until the last minute to book yourself a family session.

C A R M E N Always love having @carmenmedinasolis and her family in the studio. I have so many photos to share from their session! Don’t even know where to start! So I’m sharing one of my favorites of Carmen. I love being able to steal away people from their family shoot and take some individual shots. It is so important to be photographed by yourself. Our identities change throughout our lives. We are known by many names. We are known by how we are related to others in our family. We are always someone’s daughter, sister, mother, aunt, grandmother etc etc….but sometimes we need to remember to just be us… it’s a good thing!

O N E O F T H O S E Have you ever met one of those women who are just shining with light and joy from the inside out. The kind of person who never meets a stranger. The kind of person who enjoys life and her family to the fullest? The kind of person who is thoughtful and well spoken, and always full of zest for life? If you haven’t, then you need to meet this incredible lady @lifeofdebralee. I’m so glad I snuck in a few photos of her by herself during her generations photo shoot with her boys, her mom and grandma. This burnt orange dress is divine and the color was amazing on her. Loved having her and her amazing family in the studio last year!

D A D D Y This sweet little lady has her daddy wrapped around her fingers….in a biiiig way….the connection between these too is something else. 🥰 He makes her feel safe and better and when she got a small boo-boo on her heel from wearing her pretty princess shoes with her “Spider-Man” dress, he made it all better. That kind of hug makes everything and everyone feel better. This photo just melts my heart. And being a daddy’s little girl, I know how she feels. Our dads are our heroes, our Prince Charming, our tea-party play dates, our giddy-up-horsies, our camp-in-the-backyard sleepover mates, and and no one looks at us quite like they do. Always an incredible bond. I’m so happy to have been able to photograph these two.

A N G I It was this beauty’s birthday yesterday. She is celebrating it in London with her husband’s family and having a great time. Wishing you a continued amazing birthday celebration and wonderful time in London. One of my favorite images from her session. I love the elegance and pose that Angi has. I love the simplicity. Angi is an amazing photographer in Houston, Texas so if you live in that area, be sure to look her up at @angilewisstudios. Angi is wearing one of my studio closet dresses that I sourced from @radcouturerentals a couple years ago; sitting in a chair donated to the studio by Delilah Hernandez Espinoza @deli956 who is a furniture rep in McAllen and has the most exquisite taste and access to unique pieces; in front of an amazing backdrop from @uniquebackdrops that we lovingly call “the whale” because it’s a huge 9x13 canvas and super heavy and has such a unique texture. It photographs beautifully.

A L W A Y S You will always treasure photos with your kids or with your parents. Mother daughter photos are just some of my favorite. To see the special bond they have and know that they shared a day of glam and fun and taking portraits that will forever be part of their legacy….it makes my heart happy. Ania and Katia Temkin rocked their photoshoot and both are absolutely stunning. I can’t get enough of all their photos! Have you thought about gifting an experience to someone this year? What do you buy someone who has everything they want? What can you give them that will be cherished as much 20 years from now as today? A portrait session and the memories that come with it are just priceless. Reach out for me if you would like more information on how to gift or book a session. I would be thrilled to help you create some memories. Link in bio.

B O Y M O M PORTRAIT OF JILL PEBLEY @jill_pebley and her two little guys Bryson and Hunter. Jill was in the studio for her 40 Over 40 Shoot where she could connect with her self and enjoy the experience of being pampered and being the focus of attention. As a busy single boy mom and realtor, it is not often that she can slow down long enough to do so. The best part, is to have her little boys join us at the end of the day to capture some portraits of all of them together. When we get the little ones to slow down just a teeny tiny bit and capture an image where everyone is looking at the camera (and no face swapping🙌🏻), we are all thrilled. This image makes me so happy because the boys are just so in the moment and so present. I loved the energy of these two little guys who keep mom super busy all the time. And we did take a lot of fun images of the boys being boys and having fun with mom. And then, I captured this portrait. My heart is happy and so is Jill’s. She will always have these images to remember them at this age. They grow up so so fast. Life gets so busy, you blink, and they are in college. So take time for yourselves moms and then remember to capture you with your loved ones at the end of your shoot. Exist in photos for yourself. Exist in photos for your children. Exist in photos with your children.

P R I C E L E S S One year. One very long year. My dear friend and former coworker Vanessa Suarez was one of the first women to visit my studio in 2020 to book her session. She was so so excited to have a session with her daughters. She spoke about how much she loved them and told me that the biggest gift she could think to give them was the priceless memories of these portraits. And I tell you she was SO excited! And then, you know…2020 happened and we had to postpone until it was safe to get together and for her daughters to travel to McAllen for the shoot. When we FINALLY had our shoot this past spring, it rained like cats and dogs and we had lightning and thunder outside and the studio was super dark, and yet, we were cozy and happy and the joy that was felt in the studio was palpable and it felt bright all day BECAUSE OF THEM. Vanessa was on cloud nine all day and her girls were the funniest and excited, taking selfies and behind the scenes photos, and laughing, and they were so so sooo into the shoot that it was an absolute pleasure for me to spend the day with them and to create these portraits. More than that, it was an amazing bonding session between the three of them. They have had an experience of just being together and celebrating each other and now have beautiful portraits to remember the day. And I have to mention the catered lunch Vanessa organized with the most amazing and succulent Puerto Rican delicacies! It was amazing! I am thrilled to have had this honor of photographing all three of you. Vanessa, Ilia @eeleeaj, and Damaris @deekazmatazz, THANK YOU for choosing me as your photographer and thank you for making it such a fun day!

F O R E V E R “I’ll love you forever and forever my baby you’ll be.” ~ Robert Munsch For when you want to remember the tender and quiet moments with your little ones. Images that will capture a moment in time and take you back to when they were this little and wanted to snuggle up in your arms and stay there. Those snuggles when they fit in your arms perfectly are cherished moments for sure. And they don’t last. The hugs don’t stop but these little snuggles only become a distant memory. 💗 BEAUTIFUL @lifeofdebralee DEBRALEE GARCIA-RODRIGUEZ and her littlest one Caleb, forever her baby. #mcallenphotographer #mcallenphotography #mcallenphotostudio #mcallenfamilyphotographer #mcallenfamilyportraits #familyportraits #boymom #tendermoments #cherisheverymoment #cherishfamily #familyportraitphotographer #rgvphotographer #rgvphotography #mcallenphotostudio #mcallenfamilyphotography #mcallenchildrenphotographer #existinphotos #boymomlife #boymom #mommasandboys #mommyslittleboyforever #iloveyouforever #theportraitmasters #theportraitproject #mcallenfineartphotography #mcallenfineartphotographer

S P A C E Why did I name this image Space? Well, photographically, I did because of the negative space I left next to Debralee @lifeofdebralee and her sweet boys Caleb and Aden. I love breaking rules in photography and I find that doing so gives you a new perspective and tells a different story in an image. Being a boy mom means giving yourself space to be spontaneous and fun, to get on the floor and play with them. To give them the space to be boys and to be loud and silly and jumpy and have dirty fingernails from looking for bugs in the dirt. It means giving them space to be exactly who they are supposed to be at their age and at that moment in time. Giving your boy-mom relationship space is just as important as being together. It teaches our kiddos independence and teaches them how to think on their own two feet while still knowing that mom will be there when they need her. It teaches boys that moms need some time to themselves too. As they grow we see them becoming more independent and they do so in such a healthy way, as long as we give them space to do so. For this image we were inspired by the black and white photos of the late Princess Diana and her boys when they were little. Something fun and playful and something that would look like a piece of art on the wall. Debralee’s boys are a hoot and each with their distinct personality. They had lots of fun during the shoot too. So so fun! PORTRAIT of DEBRALEE GARCIA-RODRIGUEZ, CALEB GARCIA and ADEN GARCIA.

Y O U Are my reason. What a blessing it is for me to be your momma. You are both the brightest, sweetest, funniest, most compassionate and caring humans. You are both also the reason for sleepless nights, and worrying, and crying when things don’t go the way you had hoped because I feel what you feel. You are the reason my heart jumps with excitement when I pick you up from school or you come home from college. You are the reason I smile when I get a text with a ❤️ and an “I love you mama.” You are the reason I scream and hoot and holler on the side of a swimming pool like a crazy person because your win is my win. Your loss is my loss. You are the reason I can’t sleep because your little stinky feet are kicking me in the ribs in bed during our snuggle time that turned into an overnight sleepover. You are the reason for all my grey hair, the reason my body changed shape and the reason my heart has grown ten fold and explodes with love whenever I think of you. You are the reason when I feel the pride of your accomplishments and when I receive compliments about you both from people who have met you, taught you, coached you, or befriended you. You are the reason for all my deepest joy. You are both an extension of me and I feel you both with every part of my soul. You are the reason I get to celebrate this special day today, on Mother’s Day. Thank you for making me a mama. I love you both!

M O M M Y and M E There is always a great time to document photos of your little ones, but especially important to document photos of YOU WITH them. When they grow up they will want to see the two of you, together, in photos. And do this every year, until you are “old and grey,” because with each passing year, the memories will fade and these photos will mean more and more to both of you. This Mother’s Day consider giving or asking for a gift that will outlive you and will be enjoyed when your daughter is a mom, when your son is a dad and celebrates his wife’s Mother’s Day. Be photographed with your mom, with your grandmother, with your kids. Give the gift of memories. 💗 PORTRAIT of @carmenmedinasolis and Ali HAIR and MAKEUP by @kjs_hmua #mcallenphotographer #mcallenphotography #mcallenfamilyphotographer #mcallenfamilyphotography #mcallenkidsphotographer #mcallenchildrenphotographer #mcallenchildrensphotography #rgvfamilyphotographer #theportraitmasters #suebryceeducation #magazinestyleportraits #mommyandmeportraits #mommyandme #mommyandmephotoshoot #existinphotos #motherhood #motherhoodjourney #mothersday #mcallengifts #mcallentexasphotographer #mcallentexasphotography #mcallentexasfamilysession

P R I N C E S S Momma’s pride and joy. She really is a little princess and having her join mom in the studio for a quick session at the end of mom’s photo shoot, and then having daddy come at the end for family photos, was the icing on top. Little Ali was just adorable and her favorite thing to do was to explore in the studio and do her own thing, listen to music and watch her favorite cartoons and twirl around in her pretty dress. She is at that age when toddlers are discovering all kinds of things and want to declare their independence from you as a parent. And that is a great thing! Every once in a while we got Ali to come back in front of the camera and were able to capture some fun moments, expressions and the way her little nose crinkles when she smiles. And that deep gaze of hers that gives you a glimpse of who she will be as an adult. My heart just melts with them. I find it’s important to let little kids be kids and to act like kids their age! That’s when you know you are doing the right thing! The best part is being able to capture their cute expressions and freeze time for a moment because they grow up so quickly and you will want to remember them at every stage in their life! I love being laid back during photoshoots, especially when these tiny little humans come into the studio. It is so much more fun to go with the flow and create a worry free and stress free experience for mom and dad. And moms and dads will still worry a bit, even though I tell them not to, hahaha. In the end, we end up with super cute images and memories that will last a lifetime. So never let that stop you from having a photo session with your little kids.

Doesn’t Danielle look fabulous in this gorgeous blush pink color! Here is what makes this image even more special!!!! @mira_deegtz12 Danielle’s husband Gerardo aka “Jerry” @gerardogtz32 is the one who threw the fabric for me! Simply amazing! Didn’t he do a GREAT Job? After a quick lesson, he was ready to go!!! Show him some love cause he did a fabulous job and needs some attention too! ☺️After all, he is going to be drowning in pink fabric and girly things from here on out! Always makes me so happy to have the whole family participate in a shoot! Even better when we have beautiful photographs of everyone to commemorate the event!

F A M I L Y So much amazing cuteness in this image of the Gutierrez family! But, who stole the show? Little Master Lucas with his little jeans and his curly shiny hair, his cute cheeks and that grin and his POSE! Look at his pose! #dyingwiththecuteness just #dying They are such a cute family and all so looking forward to baby Isabella’s arrival! This image was a definite must-have for Danielle’s custom maternity session. We spent the day with her and her amazing mom and then Jerry and Lucas joined in at the end of the shoot to get these family photos that will always always always be treasured by all of them for a lifetime and then some. When you go visit them in their house this is the image that you will see on their wall. Don’t ever pass on the opportunity to document your pregnancy and the journey that the rest of your family goes through during the process. This is Baby Isabella and little Lucas’ first professional portrait together. 😍😍 One day, they will show this photograph to their own children. Take a moment to think about that and the legacy you leave behind with photos. There is no bigger gift for your children. PORTRAIT of @mira_deegtz12 and her family Gerardo , Lucas and Isabella.

D A D D Y Daddy’s little girl. A little girl and her daddy. There is such a special bond between these two! When daddy (known to the rest of us as the amazing Dr. Joel Solis of Valley Medical Arts Clinic- also my doctor) walked in at the end of Ali and mommy’s @carmenmedinasolis photoshoot, her eyes lit up and her precious smile filled the room. This little darling has the greatest little sassy and spunky personality and the cutest little facial expressions I’ve ever seen! She was a champ to sit (okay there was some dancing and jumping and rolling hahaha) for a photo session for as long as she did! She had her little supermodel for a day experience with mommy right before daddy showed up. (Wait til you see mommy!!!) . . I’m so glad I was able to capture this special photo of them both together. Time goes by so fast! Too fast! Exist in photos with your children, for your children, for you. . . Remember to thank your doctor, your Physician’s Assistant, your Nurse Practitioner, the nurses and medical assistants and all the healthcare workers that are putting their lives and family second to take care of all of us. It’s been an incredibly long year for them! Many of them work ridiculously long hours and answer calls 24/7. So, say thank you! . . To inquire about a photo session with me, please contact me directly! . .

G R A C E Because there is an elegant Grace Kelly in every woman. Because I can see it in you. Because you may not have seen her in a while when looking in the mirror. Because you don’t even know what you are capable of yet. Because you are this person to the people who love you and adore you. This is my why. This should be your why. To sit and be photographed in a beautiful elegant gown or blouse. Because you are reinventing yourself or reconnecting with your self this year. Because you know how precious life is and one day people will go looking for beautiful photos of you. . . Now booking sessions for you to create some legacy photos. Ask me about the 40 over 40 Project too! . .

F A M I L Y They will never regret making time each year for family photos. There is no greater joy than dragging your teenagers and husband to a photo session. Ha. . . It is always a good idea to have these photos done. When the holidays roll around it may already be too late to schedule a family session, and all the other months in the year mattered too, right? I know I am always the most busy and stressed out in November and December and the last thing I want to do is worry about a family photo, picking coordinating outfits or going to a place where there are 50,000 other photographers and families vying for that one cute spot. It’s really slim pickings in the RGV y’all for nice outdoor locations. When the holidays come around and I’m so busy with everything else, that is when I wish I would have scheduled family sessions earlier in the year. . . The year 2020 has put so much into perspective for us. Moving forward into 2021 we can make new traditions and do things differently because we have learned this year that everything can change overnight. This coming year I will be announcing opportunities for family shoots on the beach and in the McAllen area so make sure you stay tuned. I always always invite any client to have their family show up towards the end of their own shoot to get some family photos in the studio too. That way you already look amazing, and the fam only needs to show up for a small amount of time. Cause you know our guys will say “where, when, and how long is this gonna take? Will it interfere with football/hunting/fishing etc etc.?” Hahaha. So short and sweet is always a good idea! . . Trust me, you will be glad you did. Stay tuned. And remember that gift certificates are available for purchase now. Husbands, your wife will be thrilled with the gift of a photo session. Wives, it’s now a perfect time to drop a hint or two! . . #mcallenphotographer #mcallenphotography #mcallenfamilyphotographer #mcallenfamilyphotography #spibeachsessions #southpadrefamilyphotographer #familysessions #familysessionsmcallen #familysessionssouthpadreisland #rgvfamilyphotographer #rgvfamilyphotography #theportraitmasters

S I M P L E There is a beauty in a simple simple photo of you and your child. Just you and your bundle of joy. Whether they are newborn, 4 months old, 8 years old, 21, or 40; a photo of you and your child (or your grandchildren) will be the most important thing you both will own. There may not be any mall Santas this year. There are limited bookings available for family photos for the holidays. Don’t let time pass before you book in your session with me to create these memories. Especially if you didn’t get around to it these past 6 months. The year 2020 will go down in history books. Commemorate it with a beautiful portrait that will make a beautiful holiday card, that will make an amazing gift to your family members, and that can hang on your walls all year round. . . . #mcallenphotographer #mcallenfamilyphotographer #rgvphotographer #mcallenphotography #mcallenphotostudio #mcallenfamilyphotography #rgvfamilyphotographer #rgvfamilyphotography #holidayphotos #holidaycards #christmascards #hanukkahcards #eidmubarak #kwanzaa #familysession #motherandbaby #motherhoodphotography #momandson #mommyandme #blackandwhiteportrait #bwportrait #suebryceinspired #lolamelaniinspired #theportraitmasters #mcallenfineartphotographer #mcallenfamilyphotographer #mcallenfineartdistrict

F A M I L Y One of my favorite images from this family photo session. A family that knows how to have fun and cherishes this yearly celebration of their family. I have photographed them for years and I love to go back and look at their changes and my growth too. I love this family! . . Christmas cards and family photos to commemorate the year 2020. Cause it’s definitely one for the books. There may not be many Christmas gatherings and people are forgetting what we look like without masks. Are you planning ahead? . . DM me to talk about your session this fall. Plan ahead and book early. . . #mcallenfamilyphotographer #mcallenfamilyphotography #mcallenphotographer #mcallenphotography #rgvfamilyphotographer #rgvfamilyphotography #rgvphotographer #theportraitmasters #existinphotos #2020goals #2020sucks #covidsilverlinings #christmascardphoto #familyphotoshoot #familyphotographer #familyphoto #familyphotosession #lake #lakephotoshoot #lakephotography #christmascardphotoshoot #mcallentx #seeyouinmcallen

A L B U M C O V E R Who says family photos can’t be a little fun? If this amazing family ever releases a record, like the Partridge Family, they need to use this as their vinyl album cover. Move over “Mamas and the Papas,” here come the Garzas!” I just love it when we can have a little fun during our shoots! I also love taking photos of friends. . . . #mcallenphotographer #mcallenphotography #rgvphotographer #rgvphotography #mcallenfamilyphotographer #mcallenfamilyphotography #rgvfamilyphotographer #mcallenfamily #theportraitmasters #naturallight #hidalgopumphouse #outdoorfamilyphotography #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #blackandwhiteoutdoorphotography #coolfamily #albumcover #partridgefamily #mamasandpapas #vinylalbumcover #familyfun

B E I N G Patiently waiting to meet this tiny being. A tiny person who was prayed for, who was loved and cherished from the day @elizabethregaladojasso and her hubby found out they would be parents. What a joy to know that you will meet this tiny little person soon! So so happy for you both Liz! This image says it all for me. There is a look of peace about you, a confidence, just pure bliss.

E N O U G H Comparison is the thief of all joy. You do you. Don’t worry about what other people think of you. Move forward with purpose and do the right thing...for you. If people in your circle are not cheering for you, then get a different circle. Don’t be stinky. Don’t complain about “not being ...” or “not having ...” No one likes a pitty potty party. That will actually repel people away from you. If you don’t like something, change it. But never change for someone else. Celebrate who you are and exist in photos. Come sit for me. I will show you. You are enough. . . . . . OPENING IN FALL OF 2019. BOOKINGS WILL BEGIN SOON.

W O M A N My beautiful mom. I adore her. . Happy International Woman’s Day. Ladies, celebrate your day today. Celebrate the women who raised you, who influenced you in positive ways, the women you are raising, the women who are your friends, your partners, your confidants and the women who are there to hold your hand and listen to your fears and hopes. Men, take a minute to honor all the women in your life. We are just part of the big equation of what makes the world a better place and it’s nice to have a day to celebrate that is not about being a mom per se, but just a day to show our thanks for all the contributions women make in the world. . Thank you to all the women in my life. I need you all more than you know. . . . #contemporaryphotography #mcallenphotographer #mcallenphotography #mcallenportraits #comingsoontomcallen #stella2000 #stellaprolights #mom #internationalwomensday #southtexasphotographer #southtexasphotography #rgvphotographer #rgvphotography #existinphotos #existinphotographs #generationsphotography #familyphotography #mcallenfamilyphotographer #mcallenfamilyphotography

O P A My dad just celebrated his 84th Birthday yesterday. And we had ourselves a little portrait session in my dining room. I have been wanting to photograph my parents for the longest time. “What do I wear?” He said. I told him I wanted to capture him in what he was already wearing; one of his favorite soft and warm flannel shirts. . I love the stillness of a person as it is captured in a portrait. A portrait that draws you in and you scan it looking at all the details that make someone the person they are. . . My boys call him Opa, so we all call him Opa. I love him so! Photograph your parents. Photograph your grandparents. Have them photographed. They have given us so much so let’s document their lifetimes in a portrait. . . There is 84 years worth of wisdom in this one portrait. I am in awe at the life he has had and the stories he can tell! . . #mcallenphotographer #mcallenphotographer #southtexasphotographer #southtexasphotographer #rgvphotographer #rgvphotography #mcallenfamilyphotographer #mcallenfamilyphotography #southtexasfamilyphotographer #stella2000 #westcottumbrella #handpaintedbackdrop #canonportraits #alienskin #alienskinexposure #existinphotos #theportraitmasters #opa #grandparent #dad #mydad
