Rona and Shane – Long Beach, California

So yesterday, Justin and I had the privilege of having a photo shoot with Rona and Shane in downtown Long Beach.  I’ve known these two for almost six years I think and it was great catching up with them because Justin and I haven’t been able to really spend much time with them.  So after Shane got a haircut for the shoot [haha],  we made our way to Long Beach to have an adventure and just find different places to take pictures.  I had a lot of fun during the shoot and I’m pretty sure everyone else did too [even though I felt weird watching them be all mushy gushy because I’ve known them for such a long time…bleh! Haha, just kidding!  We walked quite a bit and took stops at the performing arts center in Long Beach all the way down to the ferris wheel next to Shoreline Village.  I could tell that Justin really enjoyed shooting yesterday because 1.  Rona and Shane were really comfortable in front of the camera, 2. the weather was perfect for JustinElement magic, and 3. we haven’t really been able to shoot a couple in a while [as you can tell].  Justin was trying a lot of new things with his shooting yesterday and I loved how creative it turned out! I hope you guys do, too! :D

Engaged at Disneyland

These last two weeks have been overwhelming! But I loved every moment of it, I guess i’m blessed to even be this busy, so i’ll take it as a good thing that I have something to do rather than something not to do right? Well last Sunday was a busy day, it was the day after the Arzadon Anniversary Wedding and I had a triple graduation in the morning that i blogged first a long time ago, Jon, Johanna and Lizelle, and afterwards I had this engagement. Elizabeth and Albert were both very kind in letting me lag a bit to catch up with all my work, and finish up their images before i went on vacation tomorrow

So originally we were suppose to head over to Hollywood during this Sunday afternoon but instead we changed plans. When we all found out we all had Disneyland annual passes, the rules of the game changed. What better then having a Disneyland engagement shoot?! Although the sky was extremely overcasted it gave us some nice soft light, only problem is if you know how i shoot, i love blue skies and splotchy cloud coverage! So we worked with what we had, ran around Disneyland till the sun came down, and got a good hour and a half to two hours of coverage. Were doing one more engagement shoot on June 13, so stay tuned for that one. Afterwards it was already late so we ended up getting some chicken tenders and corndogs at the little place next to the golden horseshoe and shared some stories. They loved how Gaby and I met in an abandoned house when i lost my balloon in the attic (she made me get it and i fell and broke my arm) you know, just like in UP. :D Elizabeth and Albert’s wedding is on October 15, and they’re going to have a wedding party of 34! Its going to be so much fun i can’t wait

Hope you like the picturess, now its time to pack for my vegas vacation! i’ll make sure to post some pics of the babies and beautiful las vegas

A Few More Caps and Gowns

So guess what I did another graduation today but I bet you didn’t expect it to be another couple! I bet if this couple weren’t wearing caps and gowns you would have guessed this was an engagement shoot. Why? Because I love shooting people in love and Rovy and Rosanne were another graduating couple that wanted me to capture their achievements together. If you have been avidly reading my blog, then you would know that I’ve been enjoying shooting couples recently. Here’s another one: Rovy and Rosanne. They are both graduating from Cal State Long Beach in business administration and health care administration. Rovy is one of my brothers from Zeta Phi Rho and his girlfriend, Rosanne, is a sister of Kappa Psi Epsilon. We even got a few pictures with them wearing their organizations’ stoles. Rovy and Rosanne were both a little awkward at first, but I convinced them that it takes about 30 minutes for an average model to loosen up *wink. Eventually they warmed up and we were able to get some great shots. Hope you enjoy these pictures!

Also, recently, I did Frances’, who is an old friend from high school, and Kim’s graduation pictures. We took pictures at Cal State Fullerton but Kim is graduating from UCI next month. Special thanks to Frances’ boyfriend, Sheldon, for holding the lights. We played with spot lighting and artificial lighting all at the same time. It was a really fun shoot and I hope you guys had a great time!
