Photo Session with Karen

Karen got a such beautiful smile. You can tell from her smile that she has a kind and warm heart. I loved working with her. We talked so much and I loved her fashion collection, especially her shoes.

We did some business shots and then headed to the Red Rock for some fun shots. Check them out.

   

Her face is so flawless.

She was a really good sport. Wearing big high heels is not a easy job in the desert.

I love how the color just popped here.

Doesn’t she just look so natural and so beautiful?

 

and at of all the beautiful images, my favors are always the black and white ones.

We took this big framed mirror in to the desert, it was HEAVEY, but so worthy it.  

My First Debut Shooting

Philippine Debut

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

“The Philippine Debut is a cultural tradition of the Filipino people.^[1] It is a coming-of-age celebration for Philippine women that is somewhat reminiscent of the Spanish tradition of the "Quinceanera" celebration……On their 18th birthday, Philippine women throw a large party, complete with her own hand-picked debut court of 18 people. These 18 are 9 males and 9 females who the celebrant pairs off into partners. The celebrant's court usually wears a uniform formal outfit chosen by the celebrant similar to that of a wedding party, while the celebrant typically wears an extravagant ball gown……”

Well, my first debut party sure has blew me away. I would have never expected a birthday party as big as a wedding. It was very fun and entertaining, and the birthday girl Marllini’s family have showed me that they can party. I guess I’ll just let the photographs speak.

     

 

 

 

                

I hope I will get more debuts to shoot in the future, because it was just too much fun. What a great idea of celebrating your youth in this way! It will get all the young girls “wedding bugs” out of their systems. No need to rush into marriage just for the wedding.

Videography was provided by Memory Creations. The videographer Dale was a very nice guy, you will like him.

DJ service was provided by DJ Freddy J.

Event location was the Madrid Room of Suncoast Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

Photos with Carlie

We spent a week in L.A. with Steve uncle’s family for new year. My son chased the duck, played with dogs, and threw rocks at horses, and he just want to forever live in Uncle Bob’s house. On the last day of our stay, I asked Carlie (uncle Bob wife’s daughter) if she wants to be my little model and and so some fun shoots. Despite on my camera’s low battery warning, we still went on a little hike and did a shoot.

 

 

     

I think some of these photos could have made on Teen Vogue, what do you think?
