The kiddos relax after a day out. Bella, Pepper, and Mooka.

Yosemite National Forest. Such an amazing place to visit. The last time time I was here, I was about 5 or 6 years old. My only memories from that trip are from looking at childhood pictures. I’m no Ansel Adams but here are some amazing pictures I took. Some of these look amazing in black and white.

This is a must destination for all. Being in nature is such an exhilarating experience. If you decide to go, I recommend staying at Yosemite Four Seasons .

Like you care. 2 tostadas, bean & cheese burrito, & civiche

Jackie is working believe it or not?

Mooka is relaxing and doesn’t want to be bothered. I’m also testing iPhone app to post a picture and blog.

Drive back from Arizona after spending the weekend at my mums. Hate the drive, but you come across some beautiful views.

These are just a few pictures from my weekend with Lizvet up in Santa Barbara.
We had a great time visiting her friend from Portugal. We stayed at this very cool motel located in downtown Santa Barbara called the Presidio motel. If you visit, I recommend that you stay at this place. Tell them Rene Rivas sent ya! It was a fun, cool, and relaxing weekend, especially after the recent storms we had. Cheers!

A photo shoot that I took in October of 2009. Lizvet Corral – fine artist and Interior Designer, who is featured in these pictures, teamed up with Melissa Contreras of axelhoney , came up with a few themes to incorporate axelhoney’s jewelry collection. I took hundreds of photos, It was a fun and exciting project – these are a few from that shoot. We did a second shoot in November of 2009, this shoot was very exciting. I’ll post those in the coming weeks. Enjoy!
