NEW YORK CITY

Went back to NY this fall...What a great time for NY. I love NY anytime but in the fall is when it's beauty really comes out! I've lived in NY all my life and never treated it as I did this time, I was a tourist in my own city and I saw some great sites!

Ah NY in the fall, the colors are amazing




On the way to Ellis Island I grabbed this shot of the skyline


And one of this beautiful lady, which was an amazing, humbling experience


NY; concrete jungle where dreams are made of, there's nothing you can't do...

Garcia + Piniella Wedding Nov. 6th, 2010

I had the honor of being able to capture my beautiful cousins wedding to the love of her life the other day and it was amazing for lack of a better word. I had so much fun, I love being around my family and it was great to see all the new additions as well. Thank you Michelle and Derek for allowing me to be part of this day, I love you both!

Here is your sneak peek:

A picnic with Grandma

Mr. handsome face had a picnic with his grandma today and he was so delighted to do so! Better her than me, I don't know how they handle the annoying flies! But I'm so glad she did this with him, he LOVED it...And I'm so glad I was here to capture the moment!

Been a While

I really need to keep up with my work because Lord knows I LOVE what I do, it's just been a lil slow right now, I'm hoping and praying that changes for me soon. I was able to help out my cousin the other day who is a hair stylist/make-up artist and she needed to update her portfolio so I came along with her to her friends place to grab a few shots of her and her girlfriends as they got ready for a huge benefit in Orlando so I shot 4 girls plus my cousin...and I have a few days to update you! :-) today is my cousin and an amazing artist I met:

Christine (my cuz http://www.facebook.com/pages/Orlando-FL/Beauty-By-Christine-Gold/137958649583886 go ahead and like her! She's amazing at what she does!):


And the artist herself Stephanie:

I have 3 more girls to show you...I'll save them for another day :-). Thank you ladies for allowing me to capture your natural beauty through my lens!

Kelly Flores

Kelly is a Christian Artist based out of Tampa Florida and she has a record dropping soon. I was privileged to be able to capture this young artist with my camera so she has a few images for her CD. (I better get an autograph soon before she blows up ;-) Here is a sneak peak Kels, enjoy!

What's your favorite time of year?

*sings* It's the most wonderful time of the year!! Have you seen that staples commercial If not here ya go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwcYbo7pjto HILARIOUS!!!!

Just some quick shots of my girls with their new back to school gear. We have style from opposite sides of the spectrum yet they tied it together with color :-) We have Preppy and conservative vs. Stylish and punk. These girls crack me up.

I took these in my "studio" in the garage, I'm learning to use lights...I'm still a huge fan of available or natural light, but I think it's best for me to know it all.

Throwing this one in just because, I love the catch lights in her eyes, and how they pop and cause she's beautiful. :-)

Have a blessed Monday!

Evening Rituals

My precious angel Elias or Mr. handsome face as I called him since the beginning of my blogs about him. I love this boy, with a love that just surpasses all my understanding. This lil man keeps me on my toes and astonishes me daily with his wealth of knowledge of things that a 2 year old need not worry about. His eyes melt me every time he comes to ask for something and I just can't say no (but I do when I need to). It's been a while since I blogged about the kids so today is Elias' turn.

Sneak Peek: Boudoir Stephanie

Stephanie is a dear friend from High school! She came to visit and we (along with 2 other HS friends) had a mini reunion, it was GREAT to see my girls again!!!! While here we also had the chance to shoot, and I'm SOOOOOO glad we did! Steph u r still as stunning today as u were in HS!! Love ya girlie! Enjoy!

Clifton Mill in Ohio

Went to Ohio about a month or so ago and I'm just now getting to the pictures from then. I was able to find some cool places to visit and one was this OLD flour mill, that WAS still in operation only a few years ago, but built in the early 1900's. Oh how I LOVE history! I have more pix than normal here so enjoy!



Still running:




Grabbed this shot from a blocked window, hence the black bar on top.


This was a house STILL on the premises that was inhabited by the original owners of the mill in the early 1900's still in tact, pretty eeeeeery and awesome at the same time!


I was able to stick my stalker-azzi lens through the window and grab shots of the inside.






Out house/Latrine:




Old fill up station on the grounds:

Boudoir: Elise

I had too much fun shooting her, she had thee best dress up ideas and we just had fun with it!! Thanx again Elise for posing for me! Isn't she just gorgeous?!

Sneak Peek Boudoir: Anonymous

I found my calling. I LOVE photography, but I really LOVE Boudoir Photography. I LOVE showing woman just how beautiful they are, you know sometimes we forget and need a lil reminding. Sometimes we don't always have the time to get dressed up this way whether it be because of work, kids, marriage etc. Boudoir is a great way to have a blast with a few of your friends or alone and just get pampered all day and feel your best! I highly recommend it!!! Call for an appointment 808.589.6281.

This is another Bride to be (near and dear to my heart!) and in an effort to keep this a secret until the day of the BIG reveal as a gift for her new husband, I'm omitting her name...but it's KILLING ME! lol. Can't wait for the wedding, which I am shooting as well.

Sneak Peek Boudoir: Jennifer

Jennifer here is a bride to be and what a gift she has for her groom to be eh?! We had so much fun during this shoot Jennifer really opened up and had a blast. Jennifer congratulations on the upcoming wedding!! Enjoy!










Have a great weekend everyone!

Boudoir: Rochelle

Met with a fellow photographer who agreed to come out from behind the camera and pose for me...I think it was a success, and that she should come out from behind the camera more often! ;-) Enjoy the sneak peak's Chelly.







TGIF! More pix coming soon!!!! In the Tampa area and interested in a session with Elle Boudoir? Contact Latina at 808.589.6281
