Paulo Jordao Photography - BLOG

As a professional photographer, I have to confess, Boudoir Photography is one of the most fun photo shoot I could ever ask for.More and more clients have been asking me to have their boudoir photo shoot session. Some of them want to do it to surprise their husbands, some want to surprise their boyfriends or fiancé, and for my surprise a lot of them like to do the shoot with few friends.

We call it “Boudoir and Pinup Party”, where 4 or 5 girls would spend few hours having their makeup done by a professional makeup artist and having some amazing and sensual pictures taken by a professional photographer - Sure it wouldn’t be a “Party” without some wine, snacks and some really great music to help setting up the mood.

The Boudoir and Pinup Party, it is so cool and fun that the girls don’t feel the pressure of showing their body.

Here are some more images…

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,

Tomorrow - April 10, 2009 - Passion Night Club @ Hard Rock - Hollywood, FL, will be hosting one of the biggest parties of the year.

The theme for this party is Celebrity x Paparazzi, and they are expecting to have the house sold out for the event.

The interesting thing about this party is that they are celebrating a local Photographer’s Birthday (Paulo Jordao) that, together with one of Passion’s VIP Event Planer (Erin Mia Milchman - www.backtothepussycat.com), came with the idea of inviting not only the most beautiful people of Miami Dade, Broward and Palm Beaches, but they also invited a bunch of professional photographers to make this party a truly “Celebrity X Paparazzi” Party.

For sure, this event will be one of that events that people will be talking about for long and long time to come.

Yesterday I had the privilege of shooting the Fort Lauderdale Winterfest Boat Parade from the DeBianchi’s house (Click Here to Check all the Pictures).

Paul and Valerie DeBianchi open their house to the “MSF” - Rock’n Boat Parade Party.

It was a great party with a lot of beautiful people, a great view to watch the Boat Parade and even a live band, but the most important was that  it helped the MSF raising money for their cause.

I would like to thank not just Paul and Valerie for their incredible big heart, but also Annette (Fund Development-Event Specialist Multiple Sclerosis Foundation) and Stenovia (Enchantment - Event Planning) for having me as their “Event Photographer”

Here is a little collage that I made from yesterda’s party:

Tonight I came with Peggy and Ryan to a Super Hero Party.

It was a great party organized by the city of Hollywood, FL - where the kids would dress-up like super heroes. There were few kids dressed as bat-man, super-man, spider-man, etc - Ryan was one the more handsome spider-man of the party.

Give a look.

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?

I just Finished editing the pictures that I took from Simon’s Bar Mitzvah last Saturday. But I wanted to show you few more pictures of my personal selection (There are no pictures from the “Party-Time”- they still need to be edited).

I would like to enjoy this moment to tank Simon (Very easy going and made my work even easier) and his Parents for this great party andfor trusting me to be their Photographer.

Every body had such a good time with their great DJ, photo-booth, video-game booth, delicious food, etc.

Ok… Here is the other collage.

I am still working on Simon’s Pictures…

I will be posting more pictures on these next few days. OK? Plus… I will be posting all them on my PICTAGE account, so you can view and purchase whatever picture that you want.

These are just few of my favorites…

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.

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!
