What a unique way to present your portraits on a "floating" gallery block - Los Angeles Children's Photographer

One of the ways that I add value to my clients is to always be on the look-out for unique and creative ways to present the beautiful portraits.  I had a portrait session with the family of Beau and Stacy and never had a chance to write about it.The fact is, their daughter Savannah gave me lots of interesting images, as you know how my photography is inspired by children.  I thought the "floating" gallery block would be a nice addition to any family's nursery or a child's bedroom.  As a result, I designed this sample product using some images of Savannah's cute expressions:

As you see in the images above, this "floating" gallery block is a series of smaller gallery blocks constructed as a collage on an overall large background, also made of a gallery block.  The photographs are printed on Kodak ENDURA Metallic photo paper with a satin laminate, which are then adhered to solid wood with perfect 90-degree corners.  What's not reflected in the above 2 images is the beautiful sheer glow that came from the metallic photo paper, toned down just perfectly by the laminate.

This is another frame-less, ready to hang product that will add colors and characteristics to any family's walls and sizes and colors can be customized.

I would love to hear your thoughts and/or questions.

A Memorable Party, A Memorable Family - Los Angeles Event/Party Photographer

When Lissette contacted me about a surprise party that she and her family was planning for her mother, I was so excited and almost rushed out of my mouth "hire me, hire me".  That's exactly the kind of environment where I'd love the energy from, the care, the love and, of course, the surprise. :-) Lucky for me, I got to experience the wonderful party, at a beautiful venue while all the festivities were in the air.

Lissette, I'd say all the hard work that went into the party was worth it, even though you had to hide it from your mom while doing the planning under the same roof!  What a fun party - the hugging and kissing (:-)), the nice food, the mariachi band and the dancing, the dancing, and more dancing.  Even with the tears coming up when you and your sister were giving a speech, I'd still say it's a great party. :-)

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to experience such a beautiful party and to meet your beautiful family!  And Aida, happy birthday!  I'm sure the memories of this night will stay with you for a long time, with the help of my pictures. :-)

P.S. What's the prize, you might ask.  As I hinted at the end of last year, I was making a 2011 calendar with some of the beautiful pictures taken in Vietnam and Cambodia.  What better way to experience the beauty of South-east Asia, for a whole year, without the expenses of traveling?
