Isabella

  A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure and honor of photographing a beautiful, little girl by the name of Isabella.  She was celebrating her baptism and her parents asked me to come along and document her special day.

  We started at St. Emydius Catholic Church in Lynwood.  We weren't allowed to shoot during the service so we had a chance to take a few photos after everyone had left.  It was kinda nice to have the church to ourselves because we didn't have anyone interrupting or getting in the way of our shots.  From there we took a two hour break and headed to Stevens Steakhouse in the city of Commerce which is a beautiful restaurant that hosts various types if events like weddings and private parties.  We spent the rest of the evening there as I walked around chasing little Isabella on my knees and getting down low so I can photograph her at eye level.  

  All in all this little girl was a lot of fun to shoot.  She was energetic & had a very happy inquisitive spirit.  She is truly blessed because she has a very beautiful family that loves her and takes very good care of her.  So needles to say, this was by far one of the most satisfying session as of late and I enjoyed every minute of it.  Seeing all the love this girl received reminded me of what I truly enjoy about this job, which is capturing those special moments as they happen and in the end seeing the final images which turned out quite alright, if I do say so myself.
