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.

A ROMANTIC ENGAGEMENT SESSION & PROPOSAL RE-ENACTMENT IN DOWNTOWN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS

We just love our couples! When Sarah & Ian came over for their wedding consultation, I couldn’t believe we had been chatting for over 2 hours. I love how they are so outgoing and easy to talk to, when you talk to them it’s like talking to a friend you have known for years. Ian is such a fun storyteller. We enjoyed hearing their love story, from how they met to how he proposed to their wedding plans – when they are together, you can clearly see that they are soulmates.

How to Celebrate your College graduation in style | Olvera Photography

“Surround yourself with the dreamers and the doers, the believers and thinkers, but most of all, surround yourself with those who see the greatness within you, even when you don’t see it yourself.” -Edmund Lee

 

When I came upon this quote I immediately thought of Zoheb. College is hard. College is stressful. And it is even harder when your parents are not there. Zoheb’s family is in India and were not going to be able to make it to his graduation at The University of Texas at San Antonio so not only did he have finals to deal with but also the fact that he would be crossing the stage and not see those happy tears and the proud faces of his parents. His parents still are his number one fans along with his girlfriend Mubeena, his girlfriend, who is the one who surprised Zoheb with this photo session!

OLLU | The Historic Pearl | Senior Portraits

We had so much fun photographing Jessica’s senior portraits at OLLU and The Historic Pearl Brewery. She was such a good sport despite it being the coldest and windiest days of the year- seriously it was gorgeous all week and we woke up to cold and windy! But we were all having so much fun laughing that we forgot all about the wind. Jessica’s parents and best friend came along for support and what a hype man her bestie was- she had us all laughing and I love how Jessica’s beautiful natural laughs and smiles showed through in all her photos. I can still hear her laughing when I see these photos. She’s absolutely stunning!
