I was tagged by the Fantastic Canadian photographer Kerianne Brown. I really don’t know what to say besides thank you for the sweet words about my work. It has taken me so looong to be able to get to this post, but I have been looking forward to it. I *secretly* admit that everyday I’d think of something to add as one of the 5 interesting things about me, because truth be told I am not that interesting AT ALL.
I love to stalk read Kerianne’s blog. I’d love to go visit her one day and check out those AMAZING locations she shoots at. Her newborn pictures are my absolute favorite!!! I think it’s so great when you look at a photographer’s work and you can tell how much they just love what they do. She once shot this bridal session that REALLY made me fall in love with her work and become a fan. I mean… I’d hire her to shoot my wedding if I was to marry again. HA! Maybe when we renew our vowels in Brazil for our 10 year anniversary!

So, for my *intereting* things (I will stay away from business related topics):
1. I was born and raised in Brazil. I only moved to United States when I was 18 as an international student at SBCC. Prior to moving here I did not speak english. AT ALL!

2. I don’t eat vegetables. Hate them! I only recently, as of last june, started eating a salad (well… lettuce, croutons and italian dressing). I do cook using veggies, but never eat the veggies, unless they are blended and I cannot see ANY of them. I love using Cilantro when I cook.
3. It takes me a WHILE to fall asleep. My mind never wants to shut off! I need the baby monitor by my side even though her room is right next door. I check on both my kids at least a couple of times each night. I know… I am weird!
4. My husband is fluent in portuguese as well. He studied it when he attended UCSB. I am so proud of him for learning it BEAUTIFULY in 2 years only. It’s awesome that he is able to communicate with my family now because the very firts time he went to Brazil it was kind of interesting. haha 
5. I am a super easy person! I don’t require a lot to be happy. Not just regular happy…very happy. My parents were amazing at showing my sisters and I to value everything we have. They taught us to be caring and thankful and appreciative of everything. I hope that I am able to show that to my own kids.
Boring huh? It is hard picking only 5 out of so many great friends and amazing talents I’ve come to know since I started my photography journey. But, I am tagging 5 awesome photographers who I’ve come to know well and who’s work I trully admire. Leah Profancik who is my buddy! We spend sooo many hours chatting and laughing and talking shop. I think she is so talented and such a sweetheart! Mariah Gale and I also spend long hours chating… and sharing “secrets”. She is incredibly gifted in her art. Her composition and lighting are simply perfection! Shannon Stewart is a California friend and such a nice and fun person to be around. Her daughter Madison is such a supermodel!! Her photography is captivating! Brenda Acuncius‘ work is a delight! Her daughter and my son are promised to each other. One day we will meet in person and photograph the cute couple together! LOL Last but not least, someone who are far more talented than she knows and who’s work so rocks the house! Fara Smith everyone!!! Be SURE to check out her outstanding work!
Well…I think this is it!
