Cece


It's amazing how fast time flies. I can't believe it, another year and another niece graduating! Is this becoming a new theme for me, to get old and watch the world grow up right before my eyes?!? There's gotta be a way to slow it down...

It's seems like only yesterday she was a little girl. Now she's a woman. At least I know that, regardless of all the complications and dangers all around us nowadays, it feels good to know that she's grown up with a refreshingly wonderful and pure amount of sensibilities. Looking back, I don't think I've ever seen her get mad. Not once. Wow!

Well enough of that. Now I need to get back to figuring out a way to slow down time... or find the fountain of youth... whichever's easier. Ugh...

Maria


Maria wanted to get some maternity portraits done but was on doctors' orders not to leave the house. So what did we do? We brought the studio to her! After all, if you can’t bring the client to the studio, why not bring the studio to the client! And believe it or not, this was all done in her kitchen! Hehe…

The photo junk:
Camera and Lens: Canon 5D MkIII with a 24-105 f/4L set at ISO 200, 45mm, 1/200, f/7.1.
Lighting: 1 Bowens GM500 @ f/7.1 power inside gridded 22” beauty dish boomed above Maria, 1 Bowens GM500 w/medium softbox camera left @ f/7.1, 1 Bowens GM500 w/medium stripbox camera right @ f/4.5. 1 580EXII snooted @ 1/16 power camera left aimed at Maria.

Cristal & Michael


Love has no boundaries. That’s what I learned from these two. Whatever it may be: time, age, differences, difficulties, work, family. Love prevails. And that’s the way it should be!

The photo junk:
Camera and Lens: Canon 5D MkIII with a 17-40mm f/4L set at ISO 3200, 40mm, 1/100, f/4.
