BLISSFUL BREAK

After a blissful break and Christmas, I am now focusing on another wedding project scheduled for this coming Saturday. At this point in time, I would like to thank family and friends for their support on this great journey as a photographer.
Thank God for his Love, Protection, and caring over us. As we look forward to 2008, May God continue to Bless Me, My family, My Friends, and Supporters. And thank you for making 2007 a great memorable year.

Beautiful and Adorable

Over the weekend, I shot one of the most beautiful and adorable baby in the world. She arrived 9 months ago to a beautiful, caring and loving family. She came for a visit in our humble home and I couldn't resist than to take photographs of her. We had a blast shooting her and the pictures came out BEAUTIFUL.

Happy Birthday To Me

December 14th, 2007, I added another year to my age. This is the only day that is important to me and I thank God for my life. The Bible verse, John 8:12, relates to who I am and as a photographer.

Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in
darkness, but will have the light of life."

I spent my birthday anniversary with friends and family at the restaurant called, PAZO. I also celebrated my birthday with a twin-friend of mine. We were born on the same day, same month and same year. I enjoyed the outing and I thank God for giving me such a wonderful family and friends.

Come Over to Cross Over

Smashing new flyer design. The concept is to relate to the theme, "Come Over to Cross Over". 2008 is almost here, I thank God for 2007 Blessings and May God Continue to Bless Us in 2008, Amen.

God's Gift of Life

Last week I shot some beautiful photos of one of my favorite family. We decided to shoot some fun pictures of their beautiful baby. Anjola arrived 9 months ago and I found it fascinating how she brings amusement, joy, happiness and laughter during the photo session. She is the most fun baby to work with.

Due to weather, the photographs was taken late in the evening. An extra light was used to emulate daylight. My wife assisted me with the natural poses. Below are some of my favorite pictures.

Strengthening What Remains

Journal from JHB night vigil: Hebrews 12:12-13

• Before you complain about how fair life is think about what God has done for you.
• Something in our inside needs to be strengthened.
• Why are we not trusting God?
• There is something in our inside that God will use to strengthen us and promote us to the next level. It's left for us to strengthen what remains.
• It's not over with us. Heb 3:1-6
  

A 50th Birthday Event Part 2

I was glad to be a part of Mrs. Y. wonderful 50th birthday celebration. It's a blessing to be celebrating 50 and God has given her the most caring and loving friends and family. I drove straight to her house from Pennsylvania (JHB Couple's Retreat).

The day started around 8:30am by shooting her preparation to church. Most of the shots from her makeup session were shot with natural light. We were amused when one of Mrs. Y. friend offered us (me, my brother-in-law and my friend the videographer) breakfast!!!!.

We continued shooting at her church (Victory Temple Bowie). The atmosphere was exciting and interesting. Some portraits where taken in the church before we head the college park. In conclusion we ended the day around 2am Monday. The experience was great and we were able to capture memorable images that will last a long time. The video and photographs can be viewed here.

A 50th Birthday Event Part I

Over the weekend, I was granted the priviledge to shoot a 50th birthday party. It was a mega event with over 400 guests. The event was carefully planned and narrated to the point that it seems to be a wedding event. The super event planner, Bimbo, decorated the Samuel Riggs IV Alumni Center Hall (College Park, MD). Below are pictures of highlighting the beautifully-crafted hall.
