Mona + Matt: Engaged!

Gisele — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 07:14:55 +0000

Love is sweet, and so are these two. Last Saturday I met with Mona and Matt to shoot their engagement session and I really enjoyed our time shooting and also getting to know them. Mona and Matt are super adorable. Can’t wait for their wedding day coming up in October!

Mona will make such a beautiful bride!

Love this photo for some reason…

We headed down to our next location for more portraits. They turned out just beautiful…

I love how they laugh together and how much they adore each other.

Brianna

Back from the continuation of my session the other day, I want to share some awesome shots I captured of Brianna. This girl can make any parent proud for sure. Besides being beautiful and such a sweetheart, Brianna also loves to play tennis and she is really good at it. She is only 8 years old and competes against high school kids, and let me tell you… she doesn’t give them a break! :)

I was really impressed by Brianna’s talent! She didn’t miss one single shot.

Clayton’s Family

Gisele — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 13:49:15 +0000

I love to shoot families.. I don’t do it very often but it’s really something I enjoy and I definitely should do more. It gives me the chance to get to know them and to hear a little about their story. I look their photos and I see love. Pure love. To one another, to their children. To me this is the key for everything – Love. While capturing these images I witnessed so much happiness, so many sincere smiles. I look at it and I see a strong couple, who are there for each other no matter which problems they may have.. I see great parents, who love their children so much and for them what matters is always to stick together.. as a family. I am saying that not only because I know this family, since they are my friends. But also because I know a bit of their story. Family is a powerful word. Takes a lot time and effort to build something strong like that. Families are the compass that guide us in life and at the end it’s all you got.

Meet the Clayton’s:

Their beautiful girls.

Brianna is a very sweet girl.

Juju is absolutely adorable!

Juju started eating grapes while I was shooting her, then I heard her dad saying, “Great time to photograph, this is one typical juju’s moment”! :)

Bill and Betania make such a beautiful couple.

Isn’t she a gorgeous Brazilian?!

Many blessings for your beautiful family Betania and Bill! Thank you for sharing these moments with me…

Jussara & David {Vintage Portraits}

Gisele — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 07:42:18 +0000

It’s impossible not to post tons of photographs of these two! Every time I shoot Jussara and David I have a really hard time choosing the photos to blog because there are so many beautiful ones that makes absolutely hard to pick the favorites. The same happened with their wedding photos, I even needed two blog posts to show all the photos I wanted. Check it out on Part I and Part II of their wedding blog post.

I love these two so much and can’t believe it’s almost time to celebrate their first anniversary! We met to do their vintage style Portraits and trash the dress a little and the photos speak for themselves… stunning…

Sooo gorgeous!!!

The beautiful Bouquet was made by God’s Garden Treasures.

We changed the look for some more portraits!

Baptism

Gisele — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 05:18:23 +0000

This past Sunday I photographed a Baptism of a little boy also named Nicholas :). It took place at the St. Thomas Aquinas Church in Avondale. They are such a sweet family! I hope they have many blessings to come!

Nicholas for sure was an adorable little boy..

Love the way how Nicholas looks at his mom on this photo…

Happy 1st Birthday, Ben!

I couldn’t wait to throw this photos up on the blog. A sweet little boy who turned one year old and a cake! Who can ask for anything more? Not Benny boy! He was all happy enjoying his cake. Happy Birthday little man!

Yummy!!

Once upon a cake…

7 weeks

Gisele — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 05:58:21 +0000

Motherhood changed my life completely. 7 weeks into it and I can’t believe how fast Nicholas grew already. Almost any newborn clothes fits him anymore! I definitely believe now when people told me to enjoy every minute of each stage because it goes by so fast… Well, besides all the hours without sleep I am having and all the thousand times I need to go on his crib to put the binky back in his mouth, being a mom is truly an incredible experience – full of joy, unconditional love and lots of work, all worth it – specially when you see a smile on your baby’s face! I wouldn’t change this moment for anything… I am in love with my little guy and seeing his smiles melts my heart! :). Can’t wait to catch a big one and share it here!

Love this photo Mark took of us..

One month old

Gisele — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 05:04:32 +0000

It’s hard to imagine that it’s been over a month already. The days just kind of fly by. Right now, Nicholas is pretty alert most of the time. He likes to look at things, especially faces; He recognizes my voice and one thing he loves for sure is bath time! I have been trying to take photos of him for a while, but we had really hard weeks in the beginning and I almost couldn’t shoot any newborn photos of him, which makes me sad; but oh well. This weekend we are planning to try it again. Wish me luck! :)

Here are a few pictures to celebrate the one-month mark.

Jill & Luke {Destination Wedding}

Gisele — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 21:40:26 +0000

I had a fabulous time photographing Jill and Luke’s Wedding at the Barceló Hotel & Resort in Riviera Maya/Mexico. They tied the knot on June 12th – Brazilian Valentine’s day ;-) with this gorgeous paradise as background, couldn’t ask for better! I love being a photographer, specially when I got to travel for such awesome locations and working with such awesome people like Jill and Luke makes my job easy. They are SUCH a cute couple and their families are so sweet. These two are made for each other… definitely!

We started the day early at the Spa where Jill was getting ready for the big day.

The sandals that Jill picked for the wedding were gorgeous!

The stunning bride!

One of my favorite ceremony images of all the times…

The pretty girls!

Ha! :)

Reception starts!

First dance!

After Reception ended, time for more fun shooting the bride and groom portraits!

Time to get this dress wet! Love it!

Luke and Jill, Thanks for letting me be part of your day! Congratulations again!
