Our Anniversary

May 30, 2008 – 1:30 pm

Today is a special day, it marks another anniversary in the books for me and my novio.

5 YEARS!

In these five years, I can say that we have:
  • learned from each other
  • fought over silly things
  • grown to respect our differences
  • come to understand each other better
  • laughed at my clumsiness (he laughs, I pout)
  • cultivated our individual obsessions (his movies, my photography)
  • invented a million and one pet name’s for each other
The list could go on, but as we all know- you learn something new everyday. 
Thanks amor, for always being there to encourage me to do whatever you know I want to do.
I love you more then you’ll ever know. 
xoxo,
jo

Jealousy-A compliment

May 30, 2008 – 4:41 am

Earlier today I received a message through facebook from a high school friend.

This is what she said,  ”I just want to say I am wayyyy jealous of your career. That is awesome.”

At first I was taken back with her statement, but as I thought about it I knew why.
How many people out there can truly say they have fun at work? I can honestly say that when I am shooting it is pure fun. I am cracking jokes with my new friends or making them laugh with my clumsiness. 
The best part is that I hardly feel like I am working, and that is why I love what I do. 
What better job then getting to meet new friends and sharing their most treasured moments with them. That is why I am honored when you ask me to be your photographer, truly honored. I thank you for trusting me with your precious memories. 
And before I say goodnight, a teaser to some photos to come. This is from a wedding I helped second shoot this month.

Graduation Party!

May 28, 2008 – 2:44 am

Last week I had the absolute pleasure of photographing an amazing graduation party for three beautiful girls.  The three hostesses had a movie themed party, where they watched movies until midnight and then some continued the night with the first showing of Indiana Jones. 

Best of luck to you ladies in all your endeavors!  It was great meeting you and sharing in all the excitement.

Susan G Komen: Pink Ribbon Reception

May 23, 2008 – 12:36 am

You may all have heard of the Susan G Komen and their vision to a world without breast cancer.

Last week, I was invited to photograph a fashion show called the Pink Ribbon Reception: Divas, Dames & Dudes. The event took place at the Macy’s in Galleria showcasing the summer line of casual to evening wear.

There were professional models and, but most importantly there were models who are survivors.

Here are some photos from that special night that raised money to get one step closer to finding a cure. 
God Bless! 












Don’t you think this would be a killer outfit for me since it matches my branding?
