Jada

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing Jada, an aspiring young model. A very beautiful little girl with a smile to match.

Clarisse's Family

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing Clarisse and her family. Sometimes it is hard to pick which pictures I want to post to my blog, but I wanted to get one of each. However, my favorite one (and a pose I'm very guilty of repeating) is Clarisse with her oldest daughter. I look forward to having the opportunity of photographing her family again.

Cali

Today, I think that I photographed my toughest client. 1 week old Cali. Why do I think she was my toughest? Because Cali had her mind set that she was not going to sleep through her photo shoot. Once she went to sleep, she was also determined to stay on her stomach the entire time. Any movement or attempt to roll her over, she let us know quickly that she was the star today and it was her way or the highway.

She was a challenge but overall worth the wait. Cali is soooo beautiful!

Ruth & Carlos, November 6, 2010

Families. I love families. Especially when you've photographing weddings. It almost feels as if you're one of the family. Back in August (a previous blog), I photographed Maria and Herbert's wedding. Less than 2 months later, I received a call from Carlos, Maria's brother, who was in search of a photographer.

Carlos and Ruth had a beautiful and simple church ceremony. Following the ceremony, the three of us boarded their SUV limo and drove off to Wheaton Regional Parks Brookside Garden. Between the hours of 4 and 5PM, the parks fall colors seemed to show the best. Some photographs I added a little 'tweek' just to pick up those beautiful colors that nature gives us once a year.

Sienna, Oct 2, 2010

Yesterday, I attended my nephew's wedding. Unlike photographing a wedding, I was able to sit back and enjoy the festivities. Did I happen to bring my camera along? Yes. Full gear? No.

Having all the family together was great especially watching my grand niece, Sienna, run back and forth along an empty dance floor. I couldn't wait to see the pictures I took of her. She is so adorable and I believe that 'purple' is definitely her color.

So here she is, displayed in a nice collage for all to see.

P.S., I couldn't help but add her 'cat crawl' picture. She's just too cute.

Hey Jude!

No, not the song by the Beatles. Jude is the youngest person that I've ever photographed. Plus, he's related to me which makes him absolutely more adorable but then, all babies are adorable.

Jude was great. Only 2 weeks and 5 days old, I could not have asked for a more perfect model. What's one of the perks of photographing a newborn? The priceless fulfillment of holding a naked newborn baby in your arms and the feel of their soft soft skin next to yours. Oh what memories it brings back to when I held my own.

Gloria & Arvid August 2010

Gloria & Arvid's wedding was held at Celebrations at the Bay in Pasadena, MD. When photographing receptions, there are different levels of beautiful. To me, Celebrations at the Bay was what I call a 'simple beautiful'. Celebrations is very nice, quiet, almost secluded and beautiful. Gloria & Arvid are such a sweet couple as you can see from their engagement pictures from a previous post.

Kerry & Rusty June 2007

Kerry & Rusty had a beautiful church wedding followed by a very very nice outdoor reception at their neighbors home. Kerry & Rusty are quite a pair and enjoy clowning around as you can see from some of their pictures here.
