I have mentioned this more then once, but going to say it over and over again: my passion for photography allowed me to meet some of the most incredible people!

I so clearly remember times when people around me used to say I should not get involved in the photography: it is expensive and there are so many photographers out there, why should I succeed?! But my passion for this craft is so strong I just can not imagine doing anything else in this life other then taking pictures! And what I also have discovered is that along the way I meet people who are so supportive of what I do and also share passion for photography and become my friends! I am so grateful for your peeps! You know who you are! ;)

Maria… Right away I could sense she got class, how gorgeous from the inside out she is and how fabulously ready she is for our photoshoot! I love clients like her: nervous, giggling and tons of outfits laying on her bed! Perfect! And we were able to find so many beautiful settings just around her house! I’ve enjoyed so much hanging out with her! I got nervous at first when she mentioned she used to be a professional model, but Maria is such a kind and wonderful person- soon enough we were laughing and chatting away!!!! I can not wait to show you how beautiful this girl is!!! Enjoy!

September 14, 2009

And of course I have to post a little teaser for Maria! This location had such a “Russian” feel to it… almost like a Red Square in Moscow!

This weekend felt like a photo marathon for me! :)) First, we finally were able to organize a photo shoot for my dear friend Cortney: it all fell into place after being canceled and rescheduled so many times. I have to admit, this is a true example of how Universe has It’s own plan for creating a perfect photo op’  for those who truly seek it! LOL … Not only we’ve got the perfect models, props and location, but also lighting and some extra …em… well….model-reptile that we were just DREAMING to have!!!!!! Yes, you’ve read it right- we’ve had a REAL PYTHON to attend our photoshoot and the model was NOT scared of it- good for her, cause I told everyone that I am not getting close to Kuzya, no matter how cute his name is, he is still just a SNAKE to me! Not as awful as a spider I should admit and also a REAL natural model- IT {snake} WAS GREAT! ;)) {See below for yourself!!!! } Cortney’s friend Tom secured location that was just perfect perfect spot for our what I want to call from now on {HOT RED JUICY PHOTO SHOOT}, him and his son were also kind enough to bring an amazing car and a bike. They followed us around, held our light reflectors, were kind and patient with us, OK, me, they were patient with me bossing everyone around and telling everyone what they should do and how they should do it, all in return of me NOT taking their picture, but still I snapped a few! :)) Sorry guys!!! You were just TOO much of a help and I am so grateful for EVERYTHING you’ve done for us ( again, me) that long Saturday day! It would not be the same without your help! :)) I’ve got some HOT RED JUICY sneak peaks from that day … SO MANY MORE to come!!!! Again, thanks to all who made it happen!!!

Just as that was not enough, today I went out to get some gorgeous pictures of a 6 months old Olivia…. again, her original photo shoot was canceled due to her illness, and Today she turned exactly six months and were our perfect little cutie! I’ve enjoyed her so much! And in the evening I’ve hang out with another gorgeous girl - Maria who’ve used to be a professional model and needed some portfolio updates! :)) It was such a long weekend, but I’ve had the time of my life! :))))

Well Finally I have decided to create a post about my recent trip to Florida. I have had an AMAZING time as always, and of course ended up with lots of pictures! After all what kind of photographer would I be if I wouldn’t drag my camera everywhere I go????

Since I’ve been there for the total of three days I am probably going to create three posts and break it down a little. The last day we’ve spent creating professional portraits for Elena and Andrew’s Realtor’s web site, so most likely I will be mixing it up with some shots of Gabriella from our May trip, since I never got around those either…

Without Further delay….
