La Foto Bella

Friend Anela Borrego and fiance Ed Flores will tie the know on August 28th 2010.  For their engagement photos they desired the natural environment that Mesilla NM offers.  The images came out great as the chemistry between them radiates. Congratulations!

The new Belle magazine is out featuring model Dominique Sotelo.

For the rich blue background the cover photo shoot took place poolside at the Colinas del Sol mega-apartment complex in El Paso. The model is Chantal Blancarte.

Upon the urgings of a friend I took the $150 1.5 hour long Adobe Certified Expert Exam for Photoshop yesterday. Being that I not only live in the world of Adobe Photoshop - as I work with it daily as a professional photographer, but also that I teach both Into to Photoshop and Advanced Photoshop I thought I would have a good chance of success without studying or preparing - just like the old days of college.  Well with success, I am now an A.C.E., an Adobe Certified Expert in Photoshop!

Model Dominique Sotelo will be featured on the cover of Belle Magazine for June.  For the next edition Alex Rodriguez, the designer of Soleil Media chose green.  We did the cover shoot at the Butterfield Golf Course in El Paso, Texas.  It is always nice to get out of the photo studio and photograph on location.

The new edition of Belle Magazine is out. Its been out for a while - it always just takes me a while to update my blog.  On the cover is model Beatriz Enriquez. A beautiful woman who is a pleasure to photograph.

Let me start off by saying that I have nothing to do with this video. But my heart goes out to the photographer who thought it was a good idea to pose the entire wedding party on the dock.  They are all wet and still have the reception to go to!

The weather was not the best, but the images came out amazing because of their passion for eachother.  Here Ashley and Jim stand in an onion field in Mesilla, NM.  On November 6th they will tie the knot.

Dominique Sotelo represented by Bazzar Models for Belle Magazine.

Photographed at Butterfield Trail Golf Course, the table setup was designed by Soiree Weddings & Events.  The shoot was for the next edition of Belle Magazine.

Leah & Logan photographed at White Sands for their engagement. Unfortunately I am unable to photograph their wedding on August 28th because I'm already booked.
