not so Baby Sister

Last "session" from 2007! While my family was in town for Christmas we went to Waxahachie for lunch. It was freezing, but I had to grab a few shots of Jen. I tried to shield her from the wind by hiding in alleys - not much luck! It was so fun though. I left home for school when she was 12 and I was 17... I can't believe she is 19 and I am still so far away from home. I love you Jenna! You will always be my baby sister, no matter how old we get! Thanks for coming down here and hanging out for a few days - it was the best! Click the photos to see them larger. :)

Christmas in January?

Merry Christmas! hehe - only a few weeks late. :)

We had a wonderful time with my family in town. My Dad, Mom, and Jenna drove in the Saturday before Christmas, Alicia and Alfred stayed in Michigan with his family. :( They were missed. Beto and I really enjoyed the five days with my family. We only get a few weeks a year together and are glad for any extra time! We went out to eat, shopping, did a photo shoot for Jenna, went to a Christmas eve candlelight service, made tamales (a Mexican tradition), talked, laughed, and laughed some more!!! I just love having my family here. It was a great first Christmas in our new house. Here are a few pictures of our decorations.







This was our Christmas card this year - I had made it as a template for my clients and ran out of time to design something different. We took the picture this past summer in LA.

I hope you enjoyed a little taste of a Moreno Christmas in the middle of January. :)

Catch up with the Massas

I am finally back to blogland after a month long break. Things were pretty crazy with starting a new job + holiday sessions + Christmas festivities and family in town... my poor little blog got neglected. So here is a holiday session I did for Beto's sister Ceci, her husband Aaron, and their 8 month old son Vaughn. We walked around Cedar Hill's historic downtown and managed to get some sweet shots even though it was gray and rainy.












This year I designed holiday greeting cards for my clients - more to come on that! For now, here is the Massa's Christmas card.



I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Happy 2008!!!
