Keith's 70th birthday, Game of Thrones Party!

,

I truly enjoy capturing memorable moments, whether its through family portraits, or lifestyle photos, but every once in a while I get invited to do events, where I get to show up to parties and walk around taking pictures. 

Keith's Surprise 70th Birthday, Game of Thrones themed Party was certainly one of my favorite moments this year. The simplicity, yet attention to detail about his favorite show was impressive. I enjoyed capturing his reaction, interaction between friends and family, and all the simply awesome detailed decorations. 

This crown... <3

The cake was a one of the best I've ever seen, the centerpieces were simple yet very fitting, and all the small dragons and and saying from GOT from tied everything together perfectly.

Here are some of my favorite photos of the night. 


Thank you Sullivan Family for allowing me to be a part of this special day and capture lasting memories of such a great celebration.

Cruz girls, surrounded by Gold!

,

Capturing these three is one of my favorite things to do. I never know what to expect when looking from behind my 50mm lens. 

Cruz Gals Photos 2017-1.jpg

My sister is a great mother to her two beautiful girls. They always keep me laughing, and she works very hard, (third shift to be exact), just to be around for her daughters, and never misses a school event. She loves to mess with the girls and often plays many tricks on them, (which I know they will have their revenge someday, lol), but when I get the opportunity to capture these gals behind the camera, all I see is love!

There is nothing like the unconditional love of a mother. 

"The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness". -Honore de Balzac

This past summer I had lots of fun spending time with the Cruz Girls at Maria's Field of Hope in Avon, showing them the field of gold and all that it represents. We enjoyed it so much, that I hope we get to make it a yearly tradition and visit the sunflower field often, creating and capturing beautiful moments. 

Here are some of my favorites from this session! Enjoy!

 

With Love,

Baby Kayden Geovanny

Welcome to the world Baby Geo! We are lucky to have you! Your parents are so blessed to raise you and your family is fortunate to have a third generation Santiago male.

I've been lucky enough to capture Baby Geo's birth, and now his newborn photos, which was precious. This handsome little guy slept peacefully while we wrapped him in a nice warm blanket and cute little bowties and with his stuffed animals. My favorite moments were the simple close ups of this cute little newborn and the intimate moments with his parents. What a beautiful family! Here are my favorite photos from this session.

Enjoy!

Botanical Garden Beauties!

,

Back in June, my wonderful husband Kyle asked how I wanted to spend my 32nd birthday... of course I chose my favorite place in Cleveland - The Botanical Garden 

Every time I walk through the garden, I am lost in the beauty of all the gorgeous flowers, especially my absolute favorite, Orchids during Orchid Mania, (February thru March). I brought my camera and captured some breathtaking shots that I wanted to share.

Hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed taking them! From Orchids to butterflies, this is a great place to enjoy some tropical scenery in "The Land". 

Enjoy!

SEA Change Infographic

, ,

Through a connection with Jimeka Holloway, the CEO and Founder or TriFYRE, a fashion enterprise unifying generations and motivating the use of their talents and igniting meaningful relationships with Christ, I had the opportunity to create an Infographic for the SEA Change conference.

SEA Change is Northeast Ohio’s new Social Enterprise Accelerator. It is a collaborative initiative that provides coaching, connections and capital to people who have big ideas to improve their community. SEA Change connects resources, funders, innovators, and mentors to accelerate your idea from concept to successful social enterprise.

The simple Inforgraphic was included in the program book which is in the works at Ideastream and includes a review and overview of the 2014-2015 Accelerator Program and Participants.  

To learn more about SEA Change NEO, visit: http://theciviccommons.com/issues/sea-change-home. For more information about TriFYRE, visit http://trifyre.com.

Here are some mock ups to enjoy!

Quinceañera Invitations

,

A Quinceañera is a right of passage for young women from the Latin culture. It is the celebration of a girl's fifteenth birthday and is celebrated differently than most teenage birthday parties as it is represents the transition from childhood to young womanhood. The tradition varies across countries, in tradition and in style. The celebration could be simple to very elaborate. In looking back to my own 'Quince' (for short) over a decade ago, having one of these parties was by far one of the highlights of my teenage years and a proud moment of my heritage tradition.

Now many years later I've had the privilege of creating a variety of 'Quince' invitations for a few Quinceañeras and they are so much fun. From ticket stubs to pocket folds, creating special invitations to the biggest celebration in a young woman's life is such a privilege. Here are some examples of invitations have created. I also had the opportunity to capture some images of a beautiful young lady for her 'Sweet 16' and those photos were displayed as her table centerpieces!  It has a blast to create such important keepsakes and I look forward to many more!!

Seashell invites!

When you think of aquarium themed invitations, you may envision a tropical color scheme, but not for this lovely couple! This couple chose  sophisticated colors - silver, black and red. I loved creating this invitation and tying in the seashell and starfish theme throughout the invitation pieces, with lovely font and holding it all together with a belly band containing the couples name, wedding date and an embossed seashell! 

A lovely couple with lovely invitations in a beautiful aquarium wedding. I enjoyed creating this special piece for this couple and enjoyed capturing their beautiful wedding even more! Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Maines!!
