Shooting a family portrait

2011-12-12T19:23:00.000-08:00

I had the pleasure of shooting a family portrait the other day, parents of Cindy Godoy and Wendy Rosa. Grandparents and their grandkids. I loved it. Everything works when you have great people to photograph. My prelight subject was so helpful and patient!!

This wedding happened this year, it was a very hot day but had beautiful moments. Estera's bridal shower is pictured earlier in my blog. Good times for them all around!

Capturing the right moment...

Photographers have the pressure of capturing really great moments. Those that evoke sadness, tears, happiness...laughter. Every time I see this image, I remember the moment and I smile all over again. It was taken at a dear dear dear friend's, Rebecca Perez's baby shower. The women pictured are of some her closest friends.

One of the best weddings ever...

I was honored to have photographed this wedding. I had to say of all the weddings I've photographed, it was dear to my own heart for many reasons. Thank you, Adele and Lindsay. This was almost as special to me as it was for you. Here are some of moments I captured.

Bridal Showers can be so much fun! Estera's was a blast!!!

Bridal showers can be a snoozer. This one certainly wasn't. The bride, in the white hat is Miss Estera Pawalec, soon to be Mrs. William Alvarado. There was laughter the entire time!

Scouted today to prep for a wedding and found simple yet beautiful spots...

On another note....some personal work on Asbury Park, New Jersey

2011-05-09T19:44:00.000-07:00

About 10 years ago, I started a personal project to photograph the dilapidated buildings in Asbury Park. The town was changing and along with it, building new condos, homes, opening up art galleries and cafes. So I wanted to photograph the old before the new took over completely. Today, I believe, none of these buildings exist.

I know...I know, I have to be better with my blogging! I will...at least once a week! This is a couple that was SOO much fun. This was an engagement party, they were really kicking it up.

What a treat this was! Love shooting in the streets of New York! The venue was great, the lighting and ambiance was very warm. Would love to shoot there again. Joe is a avid bicyclist so I saw this bike lane when Soraya and I went scouting. It was perfect for one of their portraits. Katie has such a great smile.

I had the great pleasure to cover a most amazing and colorful wedding in the D.C area. Both bride and groom had such radiance. The guests, the music, the LOVE all around was awesome to witness. I had to drive back to New York that late night, but didn't do so without a smile and a sigh of relief that I caught so many great moments.

New to it....

I'm incredibly excited to get into the real and digital world and start a blog. It's a first for me. So bear with my entries! I'll be putting up photos from my weddings, my daily view of life, imagery I think is worth looking at. Because as I've recently learned.."only put anything up that is of value to the reader"...
