Do I hear wedding bells?

Hey there! So I just wanted to blab a bit about weddings...Weddings are some of the hardest moments to photograph, yet the best! I love to see how the photos turn out, and how you can look at the photography and think you were there! That's awesome! I love to create those images for my clients!

I have been asked to do quite a bit of weddings here lately! While I have a website that is under construction, I need to post photos here on the blog of past weddings I have done!!

So here they are....dum dum dum dum (here comes the bride)! Hope you enjoy!

"La-mode Phenomenons"

These guys are fabulous! I mean from the time I met with Chris at McDonalds to the shoot I have done with the whole group, they are all great! Little Fashionistas! This group was made by them, just to give Tampa a new look at fashion! Me being from up north, I can understand what they are trying to do! Because I promise you a lot of people in the Tampa Bay area need some help!

This group will be doing fashion shows, and little events to help promote their team! They have a great bunch of people and everything is everything with them! I love to work with them, because their fashion sense is just out of this world!

This is their mission statement: "Our mission is to promote upcoming models, fashion designers, hair stylist, casting team and make up artist. Who are determined to break into the inventive industry. Our objective is to produce “coming-out fashion forward shows, to showcase our illustrators extraordinary talents and passion for their designs and techniques in our quest to harvest their talents and push for exposure our artist will gain education and experience to potentially further there careers la- mode phenomenon’s has come together to effectively promote their intractable devotion to fashion and design. We envision breathtaking events that will leave our spectators profoundly saturated in our illustrators cutting-edge abilities. The proficiency of our team will potentially force our audience to continue supporting our annual shows. This support will eventually ensure the accomplishment of our objective, which it too share our impressive talents with the world."

Sounds good to me!!!

The lovely Chae Monet

As you all know, especially if you are friends with me on FB...there is girl I shoot by the name of Chae Monet! I have shot her so many times, and every time it's something different with her! She is a gorgeous person inside and out, and she's just great to be around! I wanted to put some of her pictures up here because I haven't done so yet!

As a matter of fact I have a shoot with her on Friday and Tuesday! Talk about determination and hard drive!!!

BTW...these photos are all from different shoots! LOL!

Dollhouse ReVAMP!

Well it's been a week or two since I have blogged...but I tell you, I haven't had the time! My schedule is so busy at the moment and honestly I'm loving every bit of it. If I'm not taking photos, I'm editing them...my life as a photographer!

So this past Sunday, I had the time of my life photographing four young ladies! Kween, Angelia, Renita, and Katherine! We did this shoot in Ybor at Katherine's studio on the roof top...how cool is that!!! Shanera B brought in her clothing from Royal Ground and we also had an accessory lady there, Jasmine Holt. I love the people I have been meeting. They're so awesome! But anyway, the shoot was a hit, I had a few bystanders there to watch, which really gave me the hype the I needed! LOL...

The shoot was themed doll house, we were supposed to build the inside of the studio like a doll house, but things didn't work out the way I planned. I was a little nervous at first because I had to improvise...but where improvisation comes in, comes the beauty! I love every shot I got and these ladies really worked hard to help me get the look I was going for!

Staying on top of things!

So I have been wrecking my brain trying to figure out how I can stay innovative and fresh or at least think of things with a twist! I think I have found it...not going to let too much out the bag at the moment, but I can assure you its going to be juicy! It will definitely be a "reflection" of SevenThirteen.

This new year is going to be a blast! A fresh year doing what I love to do, PHOTOGRAPHY! Until next time, CLICK!

SevenThirteen all day everyday!

It's a brand new year! SevenThirteen is in full effect...

I AM FOCUSED.

Photography is my life and passion. It is not just my occupation, it is my identity. This is what I do! I have always been focused on creating powerful imagery and building a strong and stable photography business. I believe in setting goals but also being flexible, since flexibility allows me to adapt to the challengers and opportunities that come my way.

I AM AN INNOVATIVE PHOTOGRAPHER.

I love the freedom and creativity I find within photography. No matter what concept I envision and no matter how bizarre, I can create a stunning image to make my fantasies come to life. As a photographer my job is to create beauty. I aim to provide my clients with unique products and one-of-a kind imagery.

I AM CONNECTED.

New media and social networking are essential to my success as a photographer. I use tools like Facebook, Twitter and my blog to share my passion, find new clients and establish my reputation. More importantly, I use them to connect on a more personal level with my clients. New media is the communication tool of today, and I want to be part of that community of sharing.

To all my pass clients, current clients, and future clients...I look forward to working with you and making sure your photos and your photography experience are the best ever! It's a new year and I'm ready to take SevenThirteen to the next level!
