McAllen La Plaza Mall

Finishing up editing photos for the La Plaza Mall expansion. It’s pretty impressive all they’ve done!

What i’ve been told is they have over 40+ stores moving in between now and the first of the year.    I’m just excited that cinabon is coming back! (yeah i said it).

Volunteering in Mission Texas

Decided to just jump into the whole video blog for fun. This is the first one we came up with. This year we helped out at the Mission Hospital’s Halloween Safety fair, we used it as a teachable moment for the kiddos about giving back to the community and have fun while doing it.

 

The vacation that wouldn’t end

First this has nothing to do with photography. This is just something fun that we’d like to share with those that follow us and support us. I say “us” because this has always been a team effort from my wife to the kids that come along with us where ever we end up.

We’ve been working a few VLogs and I thought I’d share this with you guys. We’ve been home almost a month and people are still asking and talking about our vacation. I even had someone at church today give us a shout out so it’s been fun. Our oldest keeps his own vlog and posts from time to time…so I thought I’d share it with those that support us (and were worried about us during our “extendedDisney vacation.)

Have a great week! https://youtu.be/jhMez7fp3LA

McAllen Commercial Photographer – Bert Ogden Nissan

The mail man brought us something kind of fun this afternoon.  Recently I did a job for Bert Ogden Nissan but never heard back where and when the photos would be coming out.  Well they made their own magazine and there was the photo.  Made my day.

The funny thing was the amount of work that went in to get that photo.  First when we showed up it was SUPER foggy.  We waited outside for over an hour and it never cleared up it got WORSE.   We came back a handful of times and finally we had an hour or two of sun a few days later.

Over all I was happy with the end result and thought it worked well with the local print ad.

Mexican ImportsMexican Importer – Jesse Deleon

We’ve had the opportunity to work with Jesse and his team for over 5 years now and have enjoyed watching his business transform from a traditional brick and mortar shop to 100% online. Jesse has several one of a kind items listed on Amazon, Etsy, and several other online stores.

Now in 2017 he frequently travels into deep Mexico to add to his inventory.  You can find amazing items in his online store; anything from antique doors that are over a hundred years old, to creating hand made furniture with recycled materials.

If you’re ever looking to decorate your home or your business make sure you stop by his online shop and take a look.  We’ve used several of his items as backdrops and are huge fans of his antique door collection.
