I took our guest Dave Chinn to Mitad del Mundo today and we saw two different sets of dancers. It was fascinating! The first was Ballet Folklorico de Mexico and I did not catch the name of the second group but they were amazing.

On Sunday, October 5, Diane McVicker and I had a great time photographing a flamenco flash mob. Every year on October 5 there is a flamenco flash mob in Sevilla, Spain and this year, it was held in various locations around the world, including Quito. Our Ecuadoran daughter, María Emilia Maldonado participated with Puro Flamenco, the flamenco school she attends. It was fabulous!

I was privileged to be the photographer (along with Diane McVicker) for the Enap Sipec event on October 3, 2014 at Club Rancho San Francisco. Between the two of us, we took almost 3,600 photos and after almost ten hours at the compute today, I have weeded those down to over 1,700. There are just a few of my preliminary favorites added without much editing - lots of work still to do, but I wanted to get a few up quickly. Thanks to Carolina Irigoyen de Gissel for asking me to participate in this event!

At Michelle Widehat and Donovan Widehat's wedding, I had a fun opportunity for an impromptu pregnancy shoot with Tiffany Heiss and Steve Heiss (and their little girl who is very apparent in some of the shots). I LOVE pregnancy shoots, especially when the soon-to-be parents are as adorable and as much in love as these two! Can't you just see what amazing parents they will be?? Love you both!

One week ago today, I was so proud to attend (and take some photos) at the wedding of my beautiful daughter, Michelle McVicker (now Michelle Widehat) to Donovan Widehat. The setting was beautiful with the red rocks of Sedona, AZ in the background. The bride was radiant, the groom very proud and the whole event was wonderful. Just before the ceremony was ready to start, as guests were being seated, a light rain started. A magnificent double rainbow followed - truly magical! The ceremony was lovely and the entire wedding party looked beautiful. There were lots of family photos from both sides of the family. I was not the "official" photographer so there was no pressure and I got some wonderful candid shots. Many blessings on your life together, Donovan and Michelle!

I had great fun Saturday taking photos of Joaquin, an adorable 3 month old litle boy and his beautiful mother,Estefani Zuleta. It took a while to sort through and edit because I ended up with over 430 photos! Check out the album, Joaquin - 3 months, for a few of my favorites!

The first semi-official photos session with Nico and his beautiful mother, Carolina Irigoyen de Gissel! He is absolutely precious but I don't think he liked having his picture taken - he is the son of Daniel Gissel!

What a fun afternoon/evening! Today was the baby shower for Nico - Daniel Gissel and Carolina Irigoyen Gissell are the soon-to-be parents! The mama looks radiant, the food was both beautiful and delicious and some fun games! A great time was had by all! Just a few photos for now - Caro will have more later!

I had an unexpected treat this afternoon. My neighbor asked me to photograph her children, nieces and nephew! I added some photos to the website from the session and also added a few more fine art photos. Here are my favorites from today!
