Meet Chrysa, Theo and Coco!

Couple weeks ago Chrysa contact me to do a portrait session of her, her husband Theo and their cute little puppy Coco. Chrysa and Theo are originally from Greek and is a country that I would love to visit someday! I have been shooting lots of people from different countries lately and I think it’s the coolest thing! It’s so exotic and I love that!

We met at the location on Sunday morning for some fun! It was a beautiful day, specially for being my birthday! ;) When they booked me and we picked a date, I said it was the day of my birthday and they wanted to schedule for a different date, but I really didn’t mind because what a better gift could I have than do photo shoot on my birthday?! Ummm, a 5D mark II camera!;) I just feel blessed to be able to do what I love on my special day…

I really enjoyed shooting them and their cute shitzu puppy! Coco is the cutest thing! 

Time for some formals! Chrysa wanted to take some photos on her favorite dress and I love it! Look this elegant couple!

Chrysa and Theo, hope you guys like your photos as much I did! It was fun capturing these memories for you!

Wedding: Michelle + Dan

Michelle and Dan got married last Saturday at the Tuscany Falls Golf Course in Goodyear, AZ. Michelle booked me to be her wedding Photographer last July and I cannot believe how fast it came! Luckily us, the weather was absolutely perfect and the wedding was beautiful! I had my cute friend and Photographer Gretchen Knoblock helping me to capture beautiful images during the day! 

 

 Love this shoes shot!

Take a look at this beautiful Bride:

Love the way she is looking at him!

 

Michelle and Dan, have tons of fun in your honey moon in Hawaii – Aloha! :)

WPPI in Las Vegas – goal #19

I had a blast attending the 2009 WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International) convention in Las Vegas. It was my first year being part of such a cool event and I loved the experience! It was an amazing 4 days of photography resource, parties, attending classes with great speakers and selecting new products to offer to my clients! It was great to be around of such talented photographers who are all sharing the same thing, passion for photography! Going to WPPI was one my 101 goals, and it was great to cross this one out of my list!

Blu Domain was hosting an awesome party at the Hard Rock Hotel and as always I had a blast! It was so much fun to hang out with my friends and more cool new ones I met.  Luckily me, I got to hang out with my hubby too, since he was working from Vegas that week. He joined the party as well and we had fun on photo booth, as you can see! ;) 

February 25, 2009 - 7:59 am Andy Andrews - Fun times! It was great hanging with you in Vegas.

February 24, 2009 - 5:31 pm Franciele Deagle - Loved, loved, loved a lot!!! You guys are so cute ;)

February 24, 2009 - 11:33 am Kara Layne - HAHAHAHAHA!! This just made my day! I love you both!! HAHAHAHAHA!!

Bridal Portraits

What a cool saturday I had! The plans were to go to Sedona and shoot some beautiful bridal portraits there, but the weather supposed to be really bad and rainy there and we didn’t  want to take any risks of getting wet and not taking any photos. Then Tara and Kara last minute organized a Bridal photo shoot! It was quick girls but workout perfect!! So Katina and I join them in Scottsdale to shoot those gorgeous models Lauren, Kalynne and my brazilian friend Alessandra! The photos came out fabulous!

The location the girls decided was awesome and Patrick even stopped by and gave us some tips about lighting, which make the sky just beautiful on the pictures! Thanks Patrick! 

I captured beautiful shots of Ale! You go girl!

Lauren is a sweetheart girl! She is just gorgeous!!!

 

Kalynne was up for anything, even getting up on the truck for some shots (the driver was sleeping inside! lol). I love the shots I got of her!

Girls, I had an awesome time with you all! Can’t wait to get together again and have some more fun! You girls are the best!

Shooting for fun!

A couple days ago my friend Gretchen Knoblock and I got together to chat and shoot her kids just for fun at the park! Cody is cute 2 years old boy who loves disneyland! He watched the Disneyland parade video around 20 times while I was there, and he still asking for more! :) Reminds my little nephew in Brazil (which I will be shooting a lot in my vacation there in March). He is the same age than Cody and he doesn’t get tired of watching Kung Fu Panda movie a hundred times a day.

Cody doesn’t like to have his photograph taken a lot, but I could get this shot of him! Look these beautiful eyes! 

Ava is an adorable 1 year old baby girl! So cute that I just wanted to hug her all the time!!! She really makes me excited having a baby!
