Engaged | Rosy + Long 05.12.2013

Wednesday, May 15, 2013

Special thanks goes out to the groom, Long for his “special connections” that gave us special access to The Disney Concert Hall and The Dorothy Chandler Pavilion for letting us “work” inside! It helped alot that it was Mother’s Day and the crowd was very light.

Can you also believe the soon to be bride, Rosy is a new mom? Long and Rosy are newly Mom and Dads to their very pretty 5 month old daughter, Kaitlyn.

We started at the Los Angeles Music Center water fountain and as the sun went down, that’s when we really went to work. We shot in and around the Disney Concert Hall hallways and inside DCP, especially within The Founders Hall. It was a privilege to be able to have access to these beautiful places where NO cameras are ever allowed. It was a long engagement session that ran into the late night but it was totally worth it!

These are just my select personal favorites but I have MORE from this FUN engagement session: http://joelllacar.pass.us/rosyandlong/

Engaged | Elizabeth + Chris 04.28.2013

Friday, May 3, 2013

I met Elizabeth through her sister, Edelysse which I had the honor of photographing her wedding a few years ago. Elizabeth was her maid of honor, and she totally rocked it! Now it is her “turn”. What I love about my job so much, and what makes it fun is I get to work and see my clients again and again. Chris and Elizabeth have been dating well over six years, and they got engaged when Chris proposed to her on the beaches of Clearwater in Florida.

In Spring of 2014, Elizabeth and Chris will wed on the beautiful Island of Oahu with 100 of their closest friends and family. I am so looking forward to documenting their destination wedding.

Check out some of my few select faves from their engagement session at The Griffith Observatory.

Maternity | Rachelle + RJ 03.31.2013

Sunday, April 7, 2013

After years and years of being “asked” to photograph a maternity session. I finally had the “guts” to photograph one, and I am so glad I did. But then I asked myself why it took me this long to do this session. Well first, I have never done a maternity session before. I didn’t think I had the right amount skill and the experience to photograph a women in one of her most joyous times of her life, and still make her look and feel beautiful and sexy.

I was afraid that I was not going to accomplish that, and that they will hate every photo. I took a chance on RJ and Rachelle’s first pregnancy. Actually they took a chance on me, and I am glad they convinced me, because I though I did a really good job of capturing this precious and exciting moment of their lives. My goal is give them an absolute unforgettable experience and give them photos that they will LOVE!

It was so hard to choose which will go to the blog, but these are some of my favorites. I also have a few more that I like that are not on the blog. Check our their PASS Gallery here: http://joelllacar.pass.us/rachellerj-maternity
