My new website!

I've been working on this website for a really long time...too long actually.  But I finally got it up and running!  I am not web savvy at all but Showit makes it so easy to create your own website.  Please check it out and I would love to hear what you think of it!

Thanks so much! <3 Raquel

The Other Side of the Camera

I've been working on a new website that I am so excited to get up and running and I needed some shots of myself to use. This weekend I got to spend a day out shooting with Megan Welker. It was our first time meeting and we totally hit it off. Megan was so much fun to work with and has such a bright future ahead of her! I can't wait to see what she captured!

Here is a sneak peek from our shoot:

And here is a shot I got of Megan shooting (love her rain boots!):

A couple of weeks ago I received a phone call from The Knot magazine and was told that I was chosen as one of the top ten wedding photographers in the Central Valley. I was both shocked and honored! I heard today that the magazine is out so I am definitely going to run out and get one first thing tomorrow! I'll post pics!

PS - Today is my little sister's 25th birthday!!! Happy Birthday Melissa! Love ya tons!

Back to editing...

My little brother had a baby! I was so excited that I got to be there and am so happy for Eddie and Nicole! It's such an amazing experience to be a parent and I am so glad that my brother gets to feel that now too! Congratulations and I miss you guys way too much!

My Baby Boy

6 weeks old!

4 Weeks Old!

I can't believe Adriano is 4 weeks old already! It seems like just the other day I was patiently anticipating his arrival with a carton of frozen yogurt propped on my big belly. He's been growing so fast and eating like a little piggy!

He was really not feeling my little photo session that I set up for him!
