Blue Springs

Went to one of the Springs here in Florida called Blue Springs. The day was gorgeous and hot enough to enjoy the cold water of the spring. It was amazing I went with my husband and a couple of my friends, we had  blast.   We cooked ribs, burgers and chicken on the grills, it was delish.

Here are some of my favorite shots.

tiny beach gettaway

Went to Cocoa beach yesterday just for the evening. A very unplanned trip just because I told my husband I didn’t want to stay in the house after a long day at work. So he just started driving ad ended up at Cocoa beach.  I love my husband, spontaneous things like this are just awesome. We ate a the pier and then went down to the beach and walked for a bit. Then we went back home. 45min drive not bad =)

Like always I had my camera with me so this are some of the photos I took.

Free Spirited

sun-drenched series (47)

 

Last week I had the pleasure to work with Stephanie Jerez. We’ve been planning to shoot together for a very long time and it finally happened. I was very excited to collaborate with this beautiful lady because she has such an amazing personality and fresh face that I knew she was the perfect model to portray my vision for this shoot. She arrived at my house at about 9am and from there we started to put together some of the outfits that were going to work perfectly. Then came hair and make up, she has beautiful long hair so there wasn’t much to do and I wanted the hair to be loose. She did her own make-up, I didn’t want anything too drastic just something natural that would look great with the carefree look I had in mind. Carefree but still beautiful.  The idea for this shoot came from my love for freedom and being comfortable. Also from the bohemian/vintage style I’ve been seeing all around lately in festivals such as Bonnaroo and Coachella  just to name a few.  This style has made comeback into the 21st century and I love it.

We arrived at our first location around 11am and the sun was already very high up in the sky, so trying to shoot with the sharp/hot sun was a bit tough but everything came together. We then drove to our second and final location and it was beautiful  so close to nature and a boardwalk, it was perfect. There was a lot more shade at this location which made things way easier it was still hot Florida weather, but we still had  a lot of fun. Music was a big part of this shoot, we got to relax and have a good time while taking the pictures. Music truly made this shoot a lot more fun and enjoyable it made me forget about the hot weather.

Here are a few of my favorites.

Accomplishments


This post is dedicated to my good friend Johan Colon who just graduated from the University of Central Florida with a degree in Graphic Design. When he asked me to take his senior portraits I couldn’t say no, I had to do this and get it right. He was very precise on the locations he wanted to take the pictures at, so two days before graduation we went to the main campus and made it happen.  We first went to Lake Claire, it was such a pretty day and the  location fitted perfectly with the ideas we wanted to accomplished. Our second location was the Meditation Garden inside the Burnett Honors College, it was my first time visiting this garden. It was’t a big garden but it was very pretty and we were able to capture some cute shots surrounded by nature. Our third location was a must, inside the Student Union there’s the well-known UCF seal on the floor. Every student knows best not to stand on it because if  they do they will never graduate. Johan however did stood on it, he even lay on it and still graduated, I guess the curse doesn’t work on students wearing their cap and gowns?. =D Our fourth and  final location took place at the famous Reflecting Pond, when we arrived it had been shut off for cleaning, but as we were leaving it was turned on for a bout 1 minute before it was shut off again. That was  plenty of time to take a few shots, so we covered all four locations in about 2 hours with a few off location shots. I was so happy that Johan picked me to take his photos, I had so much fun taking them. Here are some of my favorite.

Fitness is everything

 

 

A couple of days ago my best  friend asked me to shoot some photos of her to promote her new business. She has been a pharmacist for about 10 years, but sports medicine has always been her  first love. I of course said “yes” an opportunity to see this woman in action. She is such an inspiration.  Here is a full set of images that i took. I had an amazing time.
