goodbye 2008..... I'll drink to that!

2008 for us was filled with happiness, success, love, failures and sadness. We made so many new friends and lost a most important part of our lives, but we lived life together. We are fortunate to share this lifetime with you. We wish all of you a tremendous 2009. Thank you for checking out our work and paying attention. Much respect and love my friends!

Happy Holidays!!

Hoping all of you find the love this season! We hope you have an incredible Holiday!

Remember those school days when you didn't have to do any work? I lived for those days in elementary school (and high school!) Zoe had a double fun day today when she not only got to rock her PJ's to school, but she also had some serious holiday fun! She does take her cookie decorating very seriously though! I hope you all get to have some fun days soon!

Stephanie and Ron.....

Last Sunday we packed up the family and left bright and early for Catalina Island. Stephanie and Ron, had suggested doing their engagement session on the island, so in usual Munoz fashion we made a family day out of it!

Thank you Stephanie and Ron for allowing us to experience Catalina (finally!) and we can't wait for your wedding! But don't worry, Ray and Zoe will stay home for that one!

more sunday.....

sunday....

Fina & Andi....

As our last wedding of the year came to a close, we felt so lucky to end with Andi and Fina! They are two of the most down to earth people we have ever met and we enjoyed every moment of their day. Thank you Andi and Fina for the opportunity!

We are done with weddings for a few months and will be attempting to re-charge our creative batteries, find new inspiration, and think about love.

Nicole & Phil....

Fires, closed highways, and high winds could not stop Nicole and Phil's wedding! Marlene and I traveled to Simi Valley a few weeks back to document their special day. While there were some scary moments thanks to the fires, their day was fantastic.

I also had to deal with the time change, which messes with my natural light setup. I had to break out my flashes and pocket wizards to battle the darkeness. Yes friends, I do know how to use flash, just don't like to sometimes! I have to admit though, off camera flash does get a bit addicting!

Congratulations Nichole and Phil! You both are awesome people and we are fortunate to have been part of your day!
