BAPTISM PHOTOGRAPHY | Newport Beach, California

2011-03-18T12:00:00.000-07:00

I was honored to be asked to photograph a baptism at Our Lady of Mount Carmel church in Newport Beach. Andres was so sweet and calm, he is such a smiley baby. Made my job so much easier. Loved all the little details and to top it off the reception was at the parents home. They live right in front of the beach. Tent was on the sand and about 40 of their closest friends and family.

I will be meeting the family again soon to turn in the images and cannot wait to see Andres.

FAMILY PHOTO SHOOT ON A RAINY DAY | Bower's Museum, Santa Ana, CA

2011-01-06T01:37:00.000-08:00

The Contreras family is a family of 4 sons, 1 daughter (Roxy) and their parents. I immediately felt a connection with them. Not only because we both have the same Hispanic heritage, but because they are warm and welcoming.

Back in December the Contreras family and I had scheduled a Family Photography session. I don't recall why, but we had to take it off our calendars. So we set it up again for January 2nd. Then rain happen and I scrambled to find a location on the same day to carry on with the shoot. Fortunately for me the Bower's Museum was available and rain or shine we went through with the shoot.

I am glad and grateful that the Contreras family agreed to keep their appointment. It turned out to be a great shoot. We were not able to take the photos outside on the court yard. The inside courtyard was perfect though. I am happy with the results.

FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY | Libbert Family | Capistrano Mission

2010-12-05T21:27:00.000-08:00

Sean and Haley have such an adorable family. Their little Elle was such a trooper through the whole shoot. Any little gesture she did was a photo opportunity and I couldn't go wrong with such a good looking family.

When I found out Elle was turning 3 three the following day I knew I had to do something special for her. So I put together a collage of her images and here are the results.

BUSINESS MIXER - AUGUST 20TH

2010-08-22T19:44:00.000-07:00

Such a great evening last Friday August 20th. JAM Entertainment brought a first class display and service of Roulette and Black Jack. I will absolutely recommend them to any event, they were professional, friendly and made the place stand out. DJ Jesus Montoya from Quinto Sol made the place rock with his music and great energy. I have had the the pleasure of working with Quinto Sol on a couple of events and they have not let people down. He really spices events up. Clif Miller, Guitarist absolutely made his tunes bring a wonderful sense of indescribable beauty and harmony to the place.

In preparing for this mixer I learned a lot about which organizations gave me the best return on my investment of time. I learned on where to focus my time creating a more organized data base for my future events and networking opportunities. I am also a more effective and considerate networker.

I see networking not only as a form to promote but a way to create valuable networking relationships. I am huge believer on connecting with the right people and developing a mutual trust. Sharing resources, knowledge and help others grow their business, which is priceless.

All of the exhibitors that participated on this event brought a great sense of community effort to make this event happen.

I want to thank all of my friends, family, organizations and businesses that helped me spread the word.

Newport Beach - Non-Traditional Family Photography - Kevin Humphrey

2010-08-13T09:46:00.000-07:00

I am shaking things a bit on my family photography. I still love the traditional photography and will continue with that for awhile but, encourage my clients to try an unconventional way of being photographed.

Kevin Humphrey has a very interesting life. He is a successful attorney. He has his own practice and is a single Dad of two very active children. Kevin is both mom and dad, you will find him driving his children to dance class, tutoring, school and play dates. On top of that he fixes meals for his children, brushes his daughter's hair and makes sure they are done with homework and shores. So I wanted to bring part of his busy live into images and make it a real lifestyle family portrait. I asked him if besides having his beach photos I could photograph him infront of the old courthouse. The following images are a result of this shoot.

The more traditional beach photos were taken at Crystal Cove, Newport Beach, California.

This is the beginning of a fun idea that I will now offer to my clients. Enjoy.

The shoot took place at the Saint Regis Hotel in Dana Point, CA. The Saint Regis hotel treated us with the up most care and attention. They opened a room for the ladies to change and relax. They even treated them with refreshments.

CYPRESS COLLEGE PHOTO EXPO

2010-04-18T21:18:00.000-07:00

Last Friday, April 9, 2010 I attended Cypress College Photography Expo. It was similar to a mini convention. They had a trade show hall and they also invited several speakers. Among the speakers, supporters and demonstrators were Jasmine Star, Dane Sanders, Christopher Becker, Lawrence Chan, Vincent Laforet, Jeff Jochum, Doug McNamee, Henry Wang, ShowIt Sites, Kiss Albums, SmugMug and the list goes on. Greg Bumatay helped put this Expo together and boy did he do a wonderful job. I hope this will be a yearly event. All the speakers were wonderful and full of great information. I missed Lawrence Chan speak but he will be speaking again at the next SmugMug meeting in Orange County. I have been invited to two other events for the same date, what to do? I cannot miss him again, I just got to be there. Need to learn more about SEO and everything that involves it.

ENGAGEMENT SESSION, Circle of Orange - Megan and Jason

2009-10-20T13:11:00.000-07:00

It was Saturday morning (October 17) and as usual I was at the coffee shop working on a slide show presentation for a speaking engagement. I wanted to add something none traditional to my slide show. But after reviewing most of my engagement images was not able to pick one that wasn't a beach or a traditional session. To my luck, Megan and Jason walked in to the coffee shop. I acted fast and asked them if they would be willing to pose that same evening for me. It turned out Megan and Jason are two months into their engagement and plan to marry in 2011.

Megan suggested we stop by her favorite cupcakery. The cupcakery turned out to be this cute boutique style shop. Walls are a ment color and white. The decoration black and white and the cupcakes only come in three colors. You guest it, black, white and ment color. Megan's beautiful dress blended in with the style of the place.

Well the shoot turned out to be a lot of fun, Megan and Jason personality shows on every shot. This has inspired me to make the next photographers meeting a None traditional engagement one. Thank you Megan and Jason.

FATHER'S DAY

2009-06-22T14:49:00.000-07:00

His face is stained from years of working under the sun. His eyes are weak and he needs a cane to help him give the next step. But don't let that fool you, he can swing his cane and have it land on you. Yep, he still has some strength left in his body and a very strong spirit. He is my Dad, a 98 year old man that immigrated to the States back in the 40's. I spent father's day with him, the usual, church, food and take him to the store to buy his groceries. Here is a photograph I took of him yesterday.

We aslo spent great time at my father-in-law 's same evening. We took some fun shots of his little chihuaha Susu. Isn't he adorable?

Thomas Irwin, owner of Orchard Nails in Corona, Ca runs a spotless Nail Salon. When I walked in for the first time I thought I was walking into a high end hair salon. Turns out it is a trendy, clean and sophisticated nail salon. His salon is pretty busy and traffic just keeps flowing in. I am sure it is because of the excellent service that is given.

AWARD WINNING PHOTOGRAPHER

2009-04-29T09:39:00.000-07:00

It is hilarious how some people cowardly leave anonymous comments. I posted on a site that I was an award-winning photographer. Believe it or on not I have won an award on a Professional level in Southern California not that long ago. However, I am the first one to recognize that there is much more to learn. Photography is an ongoing learning process and I yet have a long road ahead of me. I really don’t need to justify nor clarify anything but just find myself laughing out loud how people pass judgement.

PRAYER GETS ANSWERED

2009-02-27T23:19:00.000-08:00

I am a volunteer at a photo club named Photo Sharp Shooters and help out on bringing speakers. It may seem easy just to go ask a nation wide renowned photographer to come and speak to our group of photographers, but not so. Their schedule is full, extremely full even with the recession going on they are still booking wonderful destination weddings, lectures around the nation and more. So I decided to make a little prayer this morning and asked God that he give me a hand. Later in the day I received a call from one of the photographers. I was was trilled to here back from the photographer, we talked about dates and other details I just need to tie things together to make it final. God makes things happen, specially when they are to the benefit of giving hope to people. My friends at the photography club and myself will receive a lot of great knowledge from this wonderful photographer. As soon as I have everything tied up I will post the photographer's name. Till the next post.

Photo Sharpshooters - Awesome evening

2009-02-25T01:23:00.000-08:00

I am just so jazzed up about my Photo club in Orange County. Jorge, Elena and her husband Javier started this group back in June/July 2008 and I joined in ever since. We started with a small group and we have been growing every week. Today we had a guest speaker from Calumet, we talked about what happened at WPPI and a little crash course on commercial photography. We are all eager to accomplish our goals. Yes, we dream but we are taking action to make them a reality. I am just so happy I can be part of this and contribute with whatever I can.

WPPI 2009 Rocked!!!

2009-02-21T22:33:00.001-08:00

It was my first time at WPPI 2009 in Vegas. I am ready to keep going forward in my photography and apply everything I learned. I also got to meet some amazing photographers and people.

My friend Candice Cunninghum launched her amazing double camera straps. Many photographers and even some of the very top photographers of the world noticed the straps and were fascinated by them. Her orders are now booming and I have no doubt everybody who is a busy photographer will want one of these straps. You may find them at CameraSlingers.com. Many of my collegues presented their products during the convention. They are all absolutely amazing and I wish them the best. Just to mention a few, TheBoudoirDivas.com; Lauren Hillary and her Go|Bee Bags; Carlos Baez and his See the Light DVD; Curt Apanovich and Robert Evans with Photography Mentor; Cherie Steinberg with her Edgy Girl; Rodolfo Arpia with his Foro de Fotografos; Kerry Garrison from cameradojo.com and finally one of the most amazing sites to create your Wesbsite is Showitfast.com by David Jay.

POSADA MAGICA

2008-12-19T09:09:00.003-08:00

I truly enjoyed the production of POSADA MAGICA last Sunday, December 14th. Octavio Solis did a remarkable work directing the play. The background colors and furniture colors were bright and gave to the play a real punch. The actors gave the play life and transmitted the feelings directly to the public. I encourage people to come and see this Christmas theme play. It is appropriate for any group age.

Mr. Rueben Martinez was handed a $4,000.00 check to help his foundation L.E.A.P.. Mr. Martinez is also the owner of Libreria Martinez located in Santa Ana, California.

Among the guest I was able to meet again with Nick Avila who will be directing the play next year. Octavio Solis who is the present director; Veronica Jacuinde,President from Chicar 501, Carlos Muniz from MyDesign2Print.com. A special thank you to Mr. Bil Schroeder, Director of Marketing and Communications from South Coast Repertory

CATCHING UP

2008-11-15T02:26:00.000-08:00

The past two weeks were wonderful. Cherie Steinberg and Jasmine Star are what Emeril is for chefs. I got to assist Cherie Steinberg Cote and Hedley Jones from Cherie Foto studios on a wedding.

Finally I met Jasmine Star. My friend Ernie told me Jasmine was going to be at his classroom. I then told my photographymentor.com friend Candice Cunningham about it. Just so you know a little of Candice, she is a fabulous photographer in Camarillo, CA and we video chat with other photographers across the nation. So Candice happened to have some business going on down here and joined me to the lecture. So not only did I meet Jasmine I was also able to meet Candice in person. We truly had a wonderful time last night at Jasmine's lecture, I was not going to let my "not current student" status stop me from listining to one of the most rapidly growing photo entrepenuers.

First Weekend of Summer '08 -Pet, Couples, Family & Wedding Photography -

2008-06-24T02:27:00.000-07:00

This past weekend was crazy hot, but so was my weekend. I went to the beach on Friday, shot photos of a couple from a distance. Saturday I photographed Emma's 1st Birthday and her harry friends. Right after the party I headed to a wedding at Universal City to assist Cherie Steinberg Cote, and her team of photographers. It was such an honor working with such renowed photographers, artists and comedian. Cherie Steinberg, owner of cheriefoto.com and her partner Hedley Jones myspace.com/deadlyhedley2015 are amazing artists, I picked up a few tips and look forward to work with them in the near future. Also, as part of Cherrie's team was photographer Heather, young and talented and photographer and comedian Bill Devlin from billdevlinphotography.com and his myspace.com/billydevlin. Finally, family portraits on Sunday which I believe turned out great. I am getting booked for the summer, so if anybody knows of anybody that needs photography send them to me. Prices are posted on my website, SilverEyePhotography.com. Wedding photography prices are upon request.
