Why I was so scared to post my boudoir photos!

Happy Birthday to me! At 37, I am more comfortable in my own skin and body than ever before.

This year has been eventful to say the least. I had been suffering from endometriosis for years without knowing- I saw so many doctors and the pain just kept getting worse. I was getting “treated” for so many different things but nothing was improving, I was starting to think the worst and felt like I was starting to go into a depression. A friend of mine then recommended an amazing dr in Austin and long story short, I found out I had borderline Stage 3 endometriosis and within a month I had surgery. Having surgery with him has improved my quality of life so much.

Fine Art Mom/Daughter Portraits – San Antonio, TX. Photographer

Last month, we had the honor of documenting these two beautiful women. A mother battling a rare form of cancer and her daughter soaking up every minute with her mother. We have had the privilege of photographing Marlynne’s family these last few years and it has been a pleasure getting to know her family. Marlynne’s mother in law, Peggy had contacted us a few weeks prior, she wanted to do something special for the two of them. She knew Herminia would be taking another chemo treatment soon and wanted to gift them a special mother/daughter session.

Why I Decided To Do a Photoshoot 1 Week After Surgery

1 week ago I had surgery.  Yesterday we did a special mother/daughter session for a mother who is undergoing chemo. I woke up yesterday feeling pain and just blah- I decided I was going to ask Chrystine of Chrystine Campos Quiñonez Freelance Hair & Makeup Artistry who was doing makeup for our session if she could come a little earlier and do my makeup. One thing I have found that makes me feel better (besides Amazon Prime) is to dress up or at least do my makeup. Since I can’t dress up because my stomach is super swollen, I figured at least my makeup would look pretty and I definitely did not have the strength to do my own.
