I had the pleasure of photographing and documenting Veronica’s pregnancy last weekend at the San Gabriel Mission and although we had only met once prior at a birthday party that Socorro (my best friend hosted for her baby last summer) we hit it off right away including her husband Hugo. This is their first baby and they are very anxious and excited for the baby boy to come in late March. Veronica and Hugo, I can’t wait to document your newborn soon, thank you for allowing me to capture this moment for you.
What I enjoyed most of this session besides the immediate chemistry amongst us (you photogs out there know about this, it’s either there or not and it makes the job a lot easier when it’s there) is the loyalty, dedication and love that Hugo has for his wife, Veronica. Yes, she reciprocates the love and devotion as well, but it is so rare to see this level of commitment and devotion in any marriage nowadays that I was taken back. He was so into the photo shoot and even recommended a pose or two that he wanted me to shoot. It made my job so easy, not a lot of guys like to have their photo taken, none the less be this into it – big props to Hugo!
The best compliment Veronica gave me is when we were laughing at the beginning of the session and she said “you laugh exactly like Socorro” and of course caused more laughter! I’ve never been told that before, but either way I love it.
She just sparkles!
Love his expression and imitation of a preggo belly.
Veronica, you’re just gorgeous.
Thank you Socorro for the referral, I think your whole family will keep me employed for a long time to come.
Working on some business planning for the year, I’m really excited for upcoming projects, the newborn sessions and a possible wedding shoot. Not to mention a fun packed weekend, will be back soon with some recipes, more lovely photos and all that jazz!
Good job.
