Sweet Sixteen with Jaslady!





Nothing like turning the big 16! I remember when I turned 16..
I bought my first car.. it was a 1985 VW Golf automatic with 263,000 miles on it. I got it for a steal at $650.00. I was in heaven, and paid cash for i
t by working at the local gro
cery store in
Burlington, Vermont.

However today... we are going to provide a gift that is going to last forever, and freeze this day in a custom designed photobook for our client Jaslady. We have taken the time to ge
t to know her, and her passion for life. She has chosen the popular location of Vizcaya Museum & Gardens in Miami, FL for the location on her special day. Having shot there many times in the past, I knew when and where we needed to shoot for the best lighting, and reduced shadows in the shots. We spent about four hours on location, and I had two assistants with me. In addition to taking shots of our beautiful subject, I took the opportunity to capture some of the epic scenery, and historic textures that surrounded us. I knew this would be a wonderful addition to the custom book I would be later creating. Everyone had such a good time, that our client wanted to book me again the very next day to shoot some lifestyle shots on South Beach! All in all we had a blast, and exceeded our clients expectations across the board.

Here is a shot from a few pages in the custom book we designed for her! We use only the best vendors for book production, and this one had "lay flat" hinged pages and a leather cover, with a custom photo jacket!

Tech Data:
Camera: 50D - with RRS wedding pro flash bracket
Lens: 24-70 2.8L, and 70-200 2.8L IS
Flash: 580EX II - with external waist power pack
Some shots we used a 42" reflector for fill or to hide shadows.

  1. Travis,

    Jaslady was very pleased I picked you as her photographer (we finally agreed in one thing... LOL). She enjoyed the fact that she was able to relate to you as she had known you forever which made everything go so smoothly. Jasli enjoyed both foto sessions very much and had lots of fun. We were very happy with the results and will recommend you to all her friends. Once again we thank you and Adriana from the bottom of our hearts for a job well done.

    Hugs,
    Jaslady and Alicia Pacheco
