[6.21.10] Guerra-Bachus Wedding

2010-06-21T12:32:00.001-07:00

This wedding was a blast! I shot this event with a fellow Photographer in Houston named Syndee of Click Cafe Photography. She needed an assistant for this event, and I was thrilled that she chose to work with me. I learned SO much from her that day and she is such a talented photographer. I hope to work with her again in the future!

This shot was my idea :)

Favorite!

I was so emotional during the father-daughter dance, I couldn't help it! I think everyone was touched.

[6.03.10] Aaliyah's 1st Birthday!

2010-06-03T19:26:00.000-07:00

Here are a few shots from an Event I shot last week. I was contracted by an Event Planner, Erica Gordon, to take photos of her arrangements and decorations. She is a very talented planner and she put this whole party together. It was a pleasure working with Elite Eventz and the birthday girl was so darling :) Check out Erica's website here! http://eliteeventz.net/

"Sugar and Spice" was the theme of the party.

Isn't she just so creative?

Beautiful setup.

Aww :]

[6.02.10] Daily Deviation!

2010-06-03T18:55:00.000-07:00

I got my very first "Daily Deviation" on the popular art community website, deviantART.com. I've been a member of dA for over 5 years and getting a DD had always been one of my hugest goals and wishes. This is pretty surreal to me and I am just so happy! Thank you RockStarVanity for featuring me! This is the image :) Click on it to visit the photo on deviantART.

[5.20.10] Wynne-Davis Wedding

2010-05-20T14:50:00.000-07:00

Here are some of my favorite shots from the event. This was my first wedding, but not my first big event. I shot a Quinceanera about 7 months back, so I was in somewhat familiar territory. Still, there were many differences and this was a great learning experience for me.

This was a cute idea that I thought of last minute. I had to improvise a lot because I was expecting to do some photos outdoors, but the weather was horrible and the sun was going down too quickly. I'm still pretty happy with these shots, though.

It was a pleasure working with these guys! They were so fun and spontaneous!

The beautiful wedding party :)

Love this shot!

This shot was actually an outtake. When I was reviewing the photos I had initially wanted to delete it but I liked the angle and candidness and thought maybe I could make it work. I wanted to step outside my comfort zone and try and work with a photo that was off focus. Turns out it's one of my favorite shots of the night.

CAKE!!!

Another one of my favorites :)

Off to the honeymoon suite!!

[5.12.10] Introduction!

2010-05-12T13:46:00.000-07:00

Hey viewers! I've started this blog as a sort of documentation of the work I do from now on. I have a few portfolios, but never do I take the time to actually write ABOUT the work and my thoughts on it. That is what this will be used for. I also wanted to have a place where I can post a larger amount of favorite shots from my shoots that I can't fit into my portfolio.

My purpose as a photographer is to bring quality images to people and make them smile. As I have learned so far, just because one may *love* doing something, does not necessarily mean that they are *good* at it. This has been a very important lesson that I have learned while I was trying to find my place and career in life. I don't necessarily always consider Photography a hobby that I love most. Yes, it is a major part of my life and my primary career, but there are many other things that I love and wish I had the talent for pursuing, but unfortunately those things I am not great at. Photography for me, is both something I enjoy.. and something I've built a talent for. When I deliver photos to my clients I love seeing the look on their faces and the smile my work brings to them. That is what makes this all worth while. I love being able to put people in a different light and give them a glimpse of what they look like through another person's eyes. With each shoot, I am dedicated in trying to bring out the beauty in everyone, because as cliche' as it may sound... I do believe that everyone IS beautiful.

All photos posted here will be from starting here on out, if you want to see some of my previous/older work, you can check out my official portfolio at http://badapple-photography.com. See you there!
