Christmas List

As Christmas quickly approaches, Abiguel wants to make sure she is good to go with Santa. Here is her Christmas wish list.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Hope everyone has a great time with their family and friends today. Please remember that at some point during your busy day, pause and give thanks to God for everything you have, whether you do it as a family or privately.

 Always remember when you think you have nothing, someone else is praying for what you have. Today I am thankful for my family. I love my three little girls and husband so much. I couldn't have asked for a better family.

In this picture Miss Abiguel was in my tummy.

What To Wear Wednesday

Happy hump day everyone. I know everyone is eager preparing for Thanksgiving tomorrow so I will be quick. These neutral colors match mother earth well. Dont you think? They would look nice sitting on this throw rug for a make shift picnic at a park or infront of the Colorodo River. For the price of the rug of $22 at Wal-Mart you can not beat it. Everything here can be found at Wal-Mart.  Happy cooking!

Castillo Teaser

Happy "Twilight" opening night America! As for me, I am working.

These two were headed to the Marine Corps Ball, but made a quick stop to take pictures.  Love, indeed was in the air.  Who needs Edward when you have a Marine!

Small Business Saturday

Do you know what "Small Business Saturday" is? Well first, there is black Friday, then Cyber Monday was created. Last year on November 27, 2010 was the first ever Small Business Saturday. Small Business Saturday is the day we celebrate the Small Business World. It's a movement to encourage shoppers to shop local across the U.S. In honor of Small Business Saturday, I will be selling my $100 package for $50. Yes, you read it right! $50 for  my largest package, which includes 35-45 digital images, 2 story boards, or as some people call them collages, 2 Cd's with all your images, which is great to give one away as a gift or keep for yourself as a back-up CD. I will only accept cash, check, or money order. Only one per person, must be used by the buyer,  and must be used before 10-31-12. Excludes newborn sessions.

Please email me at ct@chriseldasimages.com if you would like to purchase.  Due to the nature of my business, and that I only accept cash, check, or money order, I will start this sell Thursday November 17, 2011 and it will end Sunday November 20, 2011.  I will be in San Diego on Small Business Saturday that is why I am doing the sale this weekend. Happy Shopping and thank you for supporting a small business.

How it works: Once you have purchased I will send you a E-Voucher to your email. Then, when you know when you would like to use your E-Voucher we can set a date.  Finally, when a date & time have been set print your E-Voucher and bring it with you to the photo shoot.  You must have your E-voucher with you. Please keep it safe and don't lose it.  No refunds can not be made once purchased. Expires 10-31-12

If you or someone you know is looking for an amazing wedding photographer in the San Diego/ Oceanside area please visit Lauren Nygard's Website. Are you a model and looking for some amazing head shots or pictures to add to your portfolio? Visit Pol Santos.  Let them know I sent you.

What To Wear Wednesday

It's Wednesday again.  This color palette was inspired by Target's clothing line. These royal colors go well with a casual look for the fall or winter season. They are not your everyday "fall colors",  but the deep colors keep it great for fall or winter because you really wouldn't want to wear them for spring or summer.  They make great contrasting colors for vibrant fall foliage and they are absolutely comfortable and would really be great anywhere.

Happy Birthday USMC.

Happy 236th Birthday to the United States Marine Corps and to all the Marines past & present. My husband has been a Marine for 12 years now and continues to serve his country. My daughters are so proud of their daddy and feel like princesses next to him when he is in his dress blues. Happy Birthday to our very own Marine. We love you!

What To Wear Wednesday

Happy Wednesday, Hope everyone is doing great. I want to do something new this month and post something like this for the next 3 Wednesdays. The number one question people ask me after they book a session is "What should I wear?" The colors below are perfect for the holiday season and coordinate well with each other. There's no need to buy new black or brown pants, just go shopping in your closet, because I'm sure we all have some hanging up.  This could cut your expense in half and save you time from going to the store.  Notice the socks for the baby boy; yes, baby's can get away with wearing socks, they even make socks that imitate a shoe, how cute is that! You can find lots of shoe imitation socks at Target & Ross. These comfortable lightweight outfits pictured below are all from Old Navy. These colors would be perfect to wear at a park filled with lots a fall scenery, such as brown trees, shrubs or even a brown or black colored wall.
