We had a blast taking some ultra-cute portraits of Carlos and Ruby's kiddo! So much personality pours thru in these images, we love it.....

Ok, needless to say, I've neglected our poor blog this year :( Dina and I have just been so busy with other endeavors since the beginning of the year, that finding the time to blog has been difficult! But I will make the time now! Here's to a fresh start for 2010 blogging......
I've had these images prepped for a blogpost for a long long time, but i'm finally actually posting. The Martell wedding was a blast and we decided to try out our new set-up for a "party-booth"....as you'll see in the pics, everyone had a great time and these party-booth pics are a great way to have cool, fun, quirky images of your guests on your special occasion! If anyone is interested in having a funky partybooth like this one at your special occasion, just shoot us an email and let us get to it!

Hey. Ayde, you look so beautiful. You and your husband look so cute together. I haven't forgot about the gift. By the time I do send it, you will be celebrating your 1st wedding anniversary.

Well, a couple of weeks ago, her make-up artist, Robyn, called and asked if I'd be interested in working together and helping her build a portfolio. Her current portfolio is outdated and she felt it was time to put together a new & improved book. I thought it would work out great for her and for us, so we decided to get working on it right away.
Our first model....Dina :)
Oh, just as a side-note, all these images have minimal re-touching, if any at all. In other words, I might have increased the brightness, contrast or density just a bit, but I hardly did any photoshop work to the images. This means that, either Dina has beautiful skin (yes she does) and/or Robyn is a very talented, amazing, skilled make-up artist. I think it's both!
If you need a make-up/hair girl, Robyn is who you need to call. We highly recommend her. She doesn't have a blog (yet), but here is her cell # 951.255.7055.
These first two images are using simple window light.....rawr!!!


These next few are using a simple, two-light set-up. Learn more about great lighting techniques at www.strobist.com
And btw, I DO realize that I married a stunning girl! DIna looks amazing in all of these portraits...

These next were a few frames I took near the end, when Dina was tired and falling asleep on us :)
Thank you so much Robyn, for all your hard work that day. You were nothing short of professional and inspiring! We can't wait to continue creating some great images with you!beautiful!!! I think its both... a combo of beautiful skin and an awesome makeup job ;)!!!
