New Portrait Bliss Photography Logo

Finally! After a couple of years creating my own logo, and consequently changing it several times, I decided to have a professional graphic designer help me. Who'd a thought that would help! Lucky for me he also happens to be my cousin. We reconnected at a family party last year and "low & behold" I found out he was a designer. I trust the timing was right and I needed the experience of failing and letting go! It's a wonderful thing to ask for help. For a self professed perfectionist this is not easy but oh sooo worth it! I highly recommend it in business decisions and in life. If you need help ask, seek, knock. Wisdom from above.He did a great job & I love it. Now I'll be busy working on implementing the new logo in my marketing pieces & start advertising. If you need a designers help for your business check out his website: MONDO@ILLUSIVELOUNGE.COM

"The Click" Get together.

Yes, sometimes photographers get to be on the other side of the camera, but it's a rare occasion for us. My fellow photogs & girlfriends,  Sophia, Kim ,Stephanie & I took a "girls day out" on Friday. Ever hear of the "Orange Circle"? It's a quaint little area for shoppin, eatin, & snappin! We had a great morning of  laughing, talkin shop, and not taking ourselves too seriously. It was much needed girl time ya know! We get together every couple months to encourage one another and brainstorm ideas for our business and discuss the latest and greatest in photography. So we also used this opportunity to photograph each-other just for fun & practice. It's nice to have current portraits  for websites & such. We were like the paparazzi walking around town with our big gun cameras, taking pictures of odd things like tables & walls! I know, it's weird, something only a few can understand. We had a blast! Looking forward to our next Click meeting girls, thanks! Here are my favs of yous. Enjoy.

  

                            

                                                                     
 

                                                                                                                                                                                     

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

 

                                          

                                                                      

                                   

                                                                             

"Jump for Joy"

I Love these girls! My friend Angies daughters, they always have joy on there faces no matter what! This shot was taken from the family portrait day we did last week in Chino Hills, forty of her nieces and nephews showed up for a quick family portrait for Grandma! It was Crazy Beautiful!

"Bloom Were Your Planted"

Okay people start your blogging! We all have things we want to say right? I know, I know, who has time. Maybe it's just me who spends most of my time editing photos in front of this computer, so this is my outlet, my attempt at saying something meaningful or maybe,  not so much. But none the less it's a way to let others know what I'm up to, and that I haven't fallen off the planet. I truly do find blissful little things everyday to be thankful for. Being a natural pessimist makes it a challenge most days, but the energy of the spirit continually prompts me to see the beauty around me, embrace it, live it, just take a moment to breathe it in. Stop  and listen for a moment, it will speak to you. 

Something I love besides photography is Gardening, I'd rather be with my hands in the dirt than on the computer for sure! However , I don't posses the green thumb that was inherited by most members of my extended family, but i keep trying. I love the springtime,  nature can often surprise you. I found this little sunflower thriving with just an inch of dirt next to the path, in fact I   had a whole patch of them that I  have never planted there. They just showed up. So the lesson I take from this: Beauty can survive under less than perfect conditions , so grow already!
