Faces of Operation Smile

Hi all,

I'm a member of the PPA - Professional Photographers of America.
PPA is promoting a very important Charity here is more information from the PPA BLOG:
Take a look at the smiles that are created when you participate in Family Portrait Month. When you participate in Family Portrait Month, you help PPA Charities raise funds for Operation Smile, allowing them to continue their work with children around the world.

Since 1982, more than 115,000 children and young adults have been treated by thousands of volunteers worldwide and thousands of healthcare professionals have been trained globally. For as little as $240 Operation Smile can change a child's life by giving the gift of a surgery. Revenue in excess of surgical costs is invested into our sustainability programs, empowering our partner countries to treat more children on their own and making your investment go even farther. In as little as 45 minutes, one cleft lip surgery can change a child's life forever.

San Jose Studio shoot on August 23, 2008.

We started the day early and we got 4 models and 3 photographers to collaborate in the San Jose studio by S.F. Bay Studios.
I love working with models, since they want to get the perfect shot, they would do a lot to make it happen.
We moved old pepsi machine, we took some models outside to the hot weather, then we got them under some cold water... Wow what a day... :)
I had a lot of fun working with all the models, here are my favorite shots from that day.

Dror Catering, Inc. is the best meals provider in the bay area

They serve the entire bay area, San Francisco, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, San Jose, and more.
I love Dror Catering food, it was so tasty I licked my fingers!
Thank you Yair from Dror Catering! For the excellent service!

Today's studio session with Bernadett Otterbein

Today I had the privilege to work with a very talented marshal art's instructor, Bernadett Otterbein.
I have to tell you I was impressed with the flexibility she demonstrated. That was so amazing that at the beginning I could not really shoot since I was overwhelmed. I had to get myself together and begin shooting, and boy, I got some amazing shots!
Bernadett is so great to work with. She wants to keep getting better and better poses for her portfolio, and she is very hard on herself with the demands she has.
Here are two of my favorites shots from today:

Alisa photo shoot

Yesterday I met Alisa, a 13 years old model, at the Crossroads cafe in San Francisco.
We went to the piers and took some shots for her. Alisa has a natural attitude in-front of the camera. We tried many locations and I got ton of great shots for her.
Here are my favorites ... enjoy.

The models were very cooperative, and we all had a lot of fun.
Here are some of the photos I took:

Samantha & Alexander's wedding

June 28, 2008 started as a sunny day. On my way to Corralitos Community Center I knew this will be a wonderful day!
I had the honor to take photos at the wedding of Samantha & Alexander, a lovely couple that is full of smiles.
I arrived with my assistant and we got right to work, with Samantha's getting ready for the big day.
The day continued to be beautiful and the images kept flowing...
At the end my couple drove off in an old car.

Here are some of the images from that day:

Shiany & Felix engagement photo shoot in Half Moon Bay

It is a little late, but better late then never.
On June 21, 2008, my clients and my great group of helpers, Mayraav and Richelle, went to the Ritz Carlton hotel in Half Moon bay for shooting their engagement session.
I've known Shiany for a long time since we used to dance salsa together, and when she told me she was getting married I immediately decided to give them a full day engagement session as my gift.
So off we went around 10:30am. We arrived at the Ritz around 11:30am and discovered a gorgeous sunny day. The sky where blue, and the grass was green. I was lucky to have my two assistants. Both helped with the reflector to create amazing shots.
And since both my assistants are photographers as well we got a ton of photos the entire day.
We started at the hotel, taking some shots with the great view, then we went to the golf course and from then we headed to the beach. Both Shiany and Felix were wonderful, they cooperated with all our ideas.
By late noon time we headed to Half Moon Bay's main street and grabbed some pizza - what a great pizza that was...
With our stomachs full we headed to some spots in the main street and then we took off to San Francisco to Hyde street.
By the end of the day we were tired but happy!
By now I made Shiany & Felix a nice guest sign in book from our session - and they love it.
I am sooooo happy!!!

Here are some of the images from that day:
