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!

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.

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

Lessett & Titan, parents to be

One of the reasons I am SO happy to be back home with family, I get to be around for all the exciting events now like this one. I had the pleasure of capturing my beautiful cousin and her 1st pregnancy the other day and I couldn't wait to get home and check them out. Thank you Lessett and Titan for allowing me to capture you 3, I can't wait to meet lil Autumn! Enjoy!

Fit for life

Hello world, It's been a while since I've posted anything...I've missed it and promise to get back to it again after about a week or two...so I'm almost back but not quite. This is supposed to be wordless Wed. But eh...I was hired by this man to grab a few snap shots of his physique because he competes in national and world wide competitions and from my understanding it's rare for his age (which is NOT old) but we know in this day and age 25 is old to some...pssssh go figure. And so I did and I am well pleased with the images as I hope he is.

Wordless Wednesday

52 of 52 The End

Bitter sweet for me, I had fun although at times it was a task to get up and grab a shot when other pressing matters were at hand, but I DID IT! And I am proud. But it's over :(...Is this the end?! I hope not...365 perhaps? No time soon, but soon enough, I have many ideas swarming in my head.

I WILL MISS YOU TERRIBLY 52POM

I'm such a drama queen sometimes! TGIF, going on a photowalk!!!

Budding Talent

M bought Ilana Lego's as one of her gifts this past Xmas. We always saw, when she was younger the potential in her because she would astound us with the things she'd build with her blocks. Nothing's changed. I need to do some searching this summer for programs for her pertaining to art or architecture. I want to hone this talent of hers. *mom brag moment* Also she can draw anything and play piano by ear...*Brag moment over* :-D

This is what I found on the table when she left for school the other day:

Derek Piniella & Michelle Garcia Engagement shoot

I had so much fun yesterday with this couple. We went to the famous Ybor City here in Tampa and found the best spots that brought out some fun qualities from these two, not to mention their inner model...I'm having a blast looking through the pix and processing them! Here is a sneak peak guys!






I can't wait to get working on some more!!!! Enjoy Cuz'n!!

51 of 52 Big ideas

I'm debating on starting a 365 project, not because I have no ideas, I have BIG IDEAS, but it's the time it takes and dedication/commitment and I struggle with that right now having a 2 yr old in my house, and looking for work etc. I need to find a way! Stay tuned....
