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.

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.

Welcome Back…….Puerto Rico

I’ve been absent for a while working way too much, but hey I got a wedding to pay. I hate not being able to post everyday got a huge list of photos to edit that keep piling and piling up on my edit folder. Will share them with you soon. What I do wanna share is my recent trip to my home country Puerto Rico. I was there last week and it was too short of a trip,  I haven’t visited that country in over three years I was getting home sick. Whenever you are visiting family you want to do so much that the time is too short. I thought that one week was enough but it really wasn’t. However,  I did try to make the most of it. I did took some photos but not as many as I would have love to, since I wasn’t really there on much of a vacation I was actually there to plan my wedding. Check out the wedding location which by the way exceeded all my expectations (its beautiful). Its next to El Yunke, Puerto Rico’s most beautiful rain forest, I loved it.  So I was all over the place calling people and  buying things and hiring someone to do my decorations and flower arrangements, I was busy. I did have a bit of time to spend it with my family ofcourse and my best friend who will be one of my three bridesmaids.   Then Sunday came and I had to get back to FL, one week was definitely not enough………………November its just four months away.

Enjoy some of the photos I took.. My country is beautiful “Oh, how I missed it” It’s always nice to go back to your roots once in a while.

Excitment……after

Yesterdays Exhibition was great. There were photographs from about 22 artists. Unfortunately not too may people  came to the opening I was hoping to see a lot more people to talk about my work with. But there were some great photographs a lot of talented artists. I did took some photos with my phone cause I had left my camera in the car becauae it was raining and I didnt have an umbrella.

So here are some pics.
