Valentine’s Day Special…

I love Valentine’s Day. First, it’s always a good time to declare your love to that some one special. Second, You can find some really cool gifts to give to your man or woman.

Couple weeks ago I wrote a post about a special present for a woman to give to her man. A boudoir and glamour photo session + a book (CLICK HERE).

Now, here is a great promotion for a man to give tho his woman…

You can choose just use pictures that you already have, or you can have the photography session included, for this special.

Is that time of the year, where we feel the urge of giving gifts and celebrating.

More and more women have been taking the advantage of my “Sexy Glamour and Boudoir Photo Sessions”.

They don’t need to be a model to feel sexy and to show to their man how amazing they are.

Here is my promotional price for my clients for the month of December.

I like to Photograph big Weddings in churches, synagogues, and etc… but we’re in South Florida, and everywhere you go you see beautiful gardens, beaches and flowers creating a perfect scenario for some amazing wedding pictures.

This week I wanted to share some pictures from a Wedding I shot 2 weeks ago. The pictures were taken at the couples home and I hope you agree that a shot like that, sometimes, is more beautiful than a shot taken at the church.

Here are the Pictures (one for the Engagement Session and one for the Wedding)

Today I had the pleasure of Leading our 2011 Worldwide Photo Walk - Fort Lauderdale.

We had 55 Photographers and an amazing day with a beautiful weather.

I just wanted to post a video I shot a year ago, from a small but really nice wedding.

Enjoy it…

Thanks!!!

This week was a great week for me. I had three great “Pin-Up Party” here at my Home-Studio.

Each hostess (girl responsible for organizing the party) brought 3 to 6 friends, and they enjoyed some wine and snacks while spending some time with our Professional Makeup Artist.

Once they’re done with their makeup, its time to make some beautiful and tasty boudoir / glamour photo shoot.

Do you want to be a Hostess for a “Pin-Up Party and Photo Shoot” and get your session for FREE? CLICK HERE for more information…

I’ve promised the Hostess I’d post one image of each one of them (not their friends), here in my blog.

I’m not posting their name to protect their privacy.

What is Pin-Up Party?

A Pin-Up Party are perfect for BACHELORETTE PARTIES, BIRTHDAYS or just a GIRL’S DAY OUT.

The best way to explain what a Pin-Up Party is, is to think like you’re going to a Girls Night Out or a Bachelorette Party to have some fun with your best girlfriends. But instead of going to a crowded bar, you come to our place, where you and your friends will be pampered with a Professional Makeup Artist, a Flirty Boudoir Photo Session, snacks, wine, and etc (you can also choose to have the Pin-Up Party at your house or a hotel of your choice).

How do I book a Pin-Up Party?

Minimum of 4 girls required (you + 3 friends).

When you book a Pin-Up Party, you are the “hostess” of the party and all you need is to choose the date and invite 3 to 6 of your closest friends!

What are the “hostess” duties?

As  the “hostess”, you will be the person organizing the event and your duties include inviting your friends to the Pin-Up Party, updating them with all the information (date, prices, location, time, clothing and etc), and confirming their bookings.

If you bring 3 or more friends, your “regular” session is free.

What is the cost for each girl?

Since each person has different needs when choosing their print sizes or packages, we’ve decided to create the discounted rate below for your session only:

Regular: $99

- 20 minutes shooting/ one look/ one background/ few different poses

Pamper: $149

- 30 minutes shooting/ two looks/ two backgrounds/ few different poses

*The prices above are only for the session fee, and covers the time and talent of the photographer, and does not include any product. All photos and products can be purchased A La Carte immediately after your session (no minimum purchase required - you just buy the pictures you like).

*The Party, with wine, water and snacks is our courtesy, but there is a $10 tip requirement (per girl) for the Makeup Artist.

The Pin-Up Party is an experience you do NOT want to miss!

If you are reading this article, I will assume that you are getting married, and you are trying to find a Photographer that can fit into your budget. But before I explain to you the reason of “Why You Should Hire a Top Wedding Photographer”, I would like to you to follow my line of thinking for a minute. OK?

Imagine that you just came from your vacation and started downloading all the pictures that you’ve taken there. Maybe you’ve taken 200 or 300 pictures, but when you start looking up close to the pictures on your screen you notice that they are not as great as you thought that they would be. Some are blurred, some over exposed, some are under exposed, some are very flat and some are OK. You might even think; “that is great! I have 20 good pictures from the 200 that I took”, and probably you won’t even print them anyway.

This is the reality of today’s digital photography. Most people don’t print the majority of the pictures that they take, and few people even try to print their pictures on their own home printer (very bad quality).

How does this little story affect you and your decision to select a Top Wedding Photographer?

Almost everybody owns a digital camera today. Some people have even started calling themselves “Photographers”, and your low end photographers will try to give you good deal by charging you just to shoot your wedding and give you a CD with all the pictures from your wedding on it.

If you are really on the budget and your wedding will be a very simple ceremony and small reception, and you just want to be able to have something to remember that day, then maybe; just maybe, this Photographer will be ok for you. But remember about the story on the beginning of this article (you will not like what you going to get at the end).

One more thing! If you are really on the budget and can not afford a good photographer, why are you going to pay for a bad one? On this case, just ask a friend or a family member to take some shots. It is free!

On the other hand, your wedding is the most special day of your life and if you have been planning it for a long time and it is a major investment of your hard earned money, the last thing that you need is a “self claimed photographer” that might not deliver a desired final product.

You don’t want a poor food for your Reception Dinner or a small cake that was made at the grocery store to be your Wedding Cake. Not because they are not good, but because this is about the day that you have been dreaming for a long, long time. This is a “ONCE in a LIFETIME” event and you want everything to be 100% special.

The same should apply to your Wedding Photography. If there was the perfect moment to use the phrase “One picture can tell more than 1,000 words”, this would be it. A Top Wedding Photographer will capture not just the reality of that beautiful day, but this artist will use his/her talent to translate the image into a unique piece of art.

A good Photographer will also edit your pictures to their best quality, enhancing the color, light, composition and sharpness of each picture. If you try to print your pictures without they’ve been properly edited, you might end with average pictures that will not look very good.
