Paulo Jordao Photography - BLOG

This week I had the honor shooting a family portrait session at Jaime Camara Jr. and Maria Alice’s ranch (an amazing place with features more impressive than most houses that I know). Jaime and Maria Alice are one the most respected couples of the State of Goias and Brazil.

I started the family portrait session at 5:00 pm, and shot until their son lost interest helping me. LOL! But, I had more than 90 minutes with Marcelo, Fernanda and their son, Francisco, and we had so many great shots that it was hard to select only few images to post here.

After the session, I stayed there to shoot  Larissa’s birthday party (Jaime and Maria Alice’s daughter). Larissa, Juliano (her husband) and Felipe (her son) are a great example of a beautiful Brazilian family.

It was a very selective party for her family and closest friends, and everybody were very casual and friendly.

I want to enjoy this post to thank Larissa for having me at her wonderful birthday, and also congratulate her on her pregnancy.

Since I couldn’t bring all my gear from USA to Brazil, I did my best to work with as much available light as possible.

Here are few samples of that day…

Yesterday I had the honor of being the photographer for Zachary’s first birthday.

Here are some reason for that:

1. I love photography
2. I love to photograph beautiful people
3. great food
4. do I need to mention about money??? LOL

But when I said that it was an honor to be the photographer for Zachary’s first birthday, is because a little more than  one year ago, I had the pleasure to photograph one the most beautiful Pregnancy Session that any photographer could wish for, Zachary’s Mom - Ana (Check here her Pregnancy Session)

Back to the birthday party…; it was a party for family and closest friends and even Elmo was there to help entertaining the kids.

Ana asked me to have some Professional Portrait done at the party with her family and guests, so I brought two of my studio lights + a 12′ x 25′ backdrop to have everybody looking their best.

I am still editing the images and in one or two days all the images will be posted on this link - CLICK HERE (PAGE ALREADY ONLINE) -, but since I promised everybody that I would post a Blog with the link, so they could look all the images, I wanted at least show one of the images that I shot there:

Once again, I want to thank everybody form Zachary’s birthday party for for the great time.

Sincerely,

Yesterday, I was at Shirley Palumbo’s house taking pictures of her daughter’s (Anamarie) 8th birthday.

It was a great party with a lot of food, drink, music and great games to keep the kids entertained.

Last Weekend I Was invited to Michele’s 4th Birthday Party.

The party’s theme was ARIEL (little mermaid) at the YMCA Fort Lauderdale/ Hollywood area (taff st).

The kids were supposed to use the Pool for 2 hours, but because of our “South Florida” peculiar weather, they had to use one of the Aerobic Classes Room to let the kids have some playtime.

The kids had a blast…

OK… Not just the kids!!! I had some fun also.

at the end… It was a fun party! I Felt like a big BIG KID!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHELE!!!

Yesterday, I wrote a post showing a Video (Click Here to Watch the Video) of Stefano’s First Birthday, that happened one year ago.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have to much time to edit any of the pictures to ad to that post, so today I am doing that.

Last year, Stefano’s party was great, and so was the party yesterday. A lot of balloons, food, drinks, a giant ELMO, and a Clown doing some face painting.

I want to thank Mariane and Carillo (Stefano’s parents) for inviting me to be part of Stefano’s special day. I also want to thank Carol for helping me with the photos.

Here are some of the shots that I selected to post here (if you want to see al the pictures taken, please write a comment below with your email address, so I can send the link where the other pictures will be posted)

Carillo was ready to his son’s party.

Look how happy Mariane was watching Stefano playing with his golf cart.

Gramdpa couldn’t hide his excitement.

Grandma and Grandpa came from Brazil just for the birthday… Hey… You guys look to cool to be grandma and grandpa.

Did I mention that the party theme was: Elmo’s World?

She did a great job painting the kid’s faces

Sorry everybody, but I have to say that… This is my 1st place of the day… What a great picture!!!

This is a picture of Mariane’s Family… Such great people. Did I mention that they came from Brazil just for this birthday?

You can still write a comment saying how much you love me…

Today is my son’s birthday, but is also mother’s day. So My wife and I decided to celebrate Ryan’s birthday yesterday, so today we could focus more on mother’s day.

Ryan just turned 4 years old. We always celebrate his birthday in our house. So we have to organize the backyard, clean the house, take care of the garden, paint the deck, etc… To say the truth, It is a realy hard work just for a birthday, and we do that every single year.

But now, the party is gone and we have one year to rest until Ryan’s next birthday . I just want to wish him a Happy Birthday and show you few of the pictures that I took yesterday.

Just having fun…

What else can I say. I normally spend my weekends on my computer, or watching some TV show that I saved during the week. Yesterday was different

My wife, my son and I went to a birthday from my son’s friend, that was celebrating his 3th birthday. It was a very casual party and they mentioned in the invitation to bring Swimming Suit.

Good food, pool with heated water and a perfect weather… What else could I ask?

Look this picture that I took from My son and his girlfriend.

Today is April 7th 2008… It is my birthday!!! I don’t know why the date on my blog says that it is April 8th… It is still 11:47 pm (April 7th), but anyway…

I couldn’t let the day end without leave a little post about this day.

There was a time that I couldn’t wait for this date. Presents, party, etc… It was so much fun.

Today, the feeling is not the same. Today is just a regular day. Actually a good day!

Does everybody feels the same way about their own birthday?

Anyway…

For you guys that come to my blog once a while…

I am glad that you can be a part of my day.

Sincerely,

Paulo Jordao

Party, Party and Party… Wow!!!

Yesterday I went to that Videographers association Meeting (Click Here to read about that post) and today I just came from a friend’s birthday at OUZO’S, a South Beach Mediterranean Bistro.

Lisa and Gigi own the place, and Nicolas (birthday boy) is Gigi’s brother.

The place is a nice and intimate restaurant that specializes in Mediterranean food.

Ohhhh myyyyy…

What else can I say? The food was delicious and the service was perfect. If you live here in South Florida, or if you are here on Vacation, take the time to visit the place. You will love it!

I took quite a few group shots of Nicolas’ friends, but unfortunately I had to select just some of them for my Photo Collage. Hey… I even got in some shots this time. Can you find me there?

As always… Leave a comment. OK?

Thanks!
