December 26, 2016 in Cultural Wedding, Engagement, Portraits

The Story Behind this Image is one of Passion, Art and an Amazing Bride!

The wedding being hosted at the Luxury Hotel, The Historic Mission Inn & Spa, in Riverside CA., was terrific! Me and my [real] Bride - Erica was preparing for the reception.

We saw this awesome walk way and immediately jumped into the light! Eager and Awesome "she" struck this pose. And in one frame: we captured an iconic image.

The Story Behind the Image - Ep. 002

August 10, 2016 in Portraits, Wedding, Weekly Blog

My couple, Mike and Anne, were able to secure my Artistic service at the last possible moment: we met on Wednesday – the wedding was on Saturday! Yes, the same week. Their scheduled photographer notified them Monday (of that week) that he was not able to do their wedding (circumstances totally beyond his control).

Anne reviewed www.TheVisualArtistStudios.com and loved the work (this is the basis of how I begin my service to my amazing clients). If my client(s) love the Art, then all else is negotiable. The wedding location was the The Chart House Restaurant – Redondo Beach, CA, literally at the Beach.

My Bride wanted something Beautiful, Dramatic and Epic. So here are our elements: Beautiful Bride, Custom Wedding Dress and the Pacific Ocean on a Summer morning. The result: The Visual Artist Studios – Signature Portrait.

And of course there was the wedding...

EPIC! Engagement: Robert & Ashley

March 22, 2016 in Engagement, Portraits

What an awesome day in San Diego, CA at BALBOA PARK. I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph this Beautiful couple: Robert & Ashley. And thank you Mr. Terriss Brown of Tb1 Photography for your assistance with this session.

This beautiful bride to be, Ms. Ashley, I’ve known her since she was a little girl. And now she’s about to be married… sniff, sniff. And she’s also a “Bad-Ass” BASS Player! And this young man, Mr. Robert, is respectful, Hilarious and handsome. He’s also a Veteran of these United States! In addition, his chest is bigger than my body.

Needless to say, I am happy and excited for this Couple. Robert & Ashley… Blessings.

30 Days of Beautiful: T A R R A

February 01, 2016 in Weekly Blog, 30 Days of Beautiful

Certainly, 30 Days of Beautiful is a Wondrous Campaign. I am meeting some wonderful people and some extraordinary Women. There's still room for you: CLICK HERE. Today I would like for you to meet Beautiful Tarra...

What does beauty mean to you? I can either believe I am beautiful, or I can believe I'm not. It's all about accepting my flaws, my imperfections, my short comings and accept that I'm doing the best I can. And be grateful everyday for the chance to wake up fresh, learn from my mistakes and be the best I can be. It's not easy and sometimes I have to remind myself of this. But in the end it's not about what's on the outside that makes you beautiful, it's all about what's on the inside.

When do you feel most beautiful? When I'm with my son and he is being a goofball. I see he is just like me and it makes me smile so BIG! It is then that I feel most beautiful.

What does being a woman mean to you? Being kind, compassionate, having style and grace.

Tell me your story: I'm a 37 year old single mother of two crazy boys. I've been raising both boys on my own and have held the same career for almost 16 years. I've been through more struggles, more heartache and more empty bank accounts than I care to remember. But by the Grace of GOD I have awakened: I've been a mommy, I've been a manager and am a Woman daily.

What do you think was the biggest turning point in your life? Accepting that my happiness comes from no one but myself.

Please finish the statement – I am a person who: Believes in herself.

Tell me about a goal you are working on: I'm at a turning point in my life. I've made a decision to change careers after 16 years. It's exciting and it scares me.
