Marc has the most infectious positive energy. We absolutely enjoyed taking his portraits! Marc is the magic behind Marc Edward Skincare and voted Best Esthetician in Los Angeles. Whether you're preparing to look your best for your wedding in a few months or simply want to look fabulous, he is your ticket!
Here are some favorites... You can definitely tell how happy and comfortable he is!
This very playful little one wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up. Pauli loves animals - we talked about dogs, cats, giraffes and her favorite, the tiger! Roar! She was super independent. For outfit changes, she'd go to her room and come back out camera ready. Our kinda girl! We were so glad to capture her many smiles....
Showing us her moves... Children's expressions are so pure, that's why we love them!
I am deeply honored to have received an invitation from the bright minds behind the phenomenal website, mywedding.com, to photograph this very sweet couple. MyWedding.com is the ultimate online wedding resource and was a promotional partner for Warner Bros. Pictures' & Village Roadshow Pictures' new flick, "License to Wed." They gave away this dream trip to the movie's Hollywood premiere. Michelle & Kevin were treated in true Hollywood style. They were put up at the ever fabulous Chateau Marmont, had a spa day, wined & dined, and truly enjoyed LA's best. They walked the red carpet for the premiere and even rubbed elbows with the stars at the after party! This was a wonderful break from all the wedding planning they've been so busy with. I was let in on a few details and it's going to be really special! Michelle & Kevin are set to wed in Missouri in August.
Here are a few faves from the day...
They were chauffeured around town for the duration of their stay. Special thanks to JR at Lakeforest Limousines. Michelle & Kevin just before hitting the red carpet... Congratulations again! It was a real pleasure meeting & photographing you both!
I drove up to Lake Arrowhead today. It was gorgeous! Can't wait to shoot Karyn & Xan's wedding at the Lake Arrowhead Resort & Spa in August. Here's a snap from when we were touring the location:
How cute is this little one?! At 5, Spence takes cool to a new level. Charming blue eyes and as much striking personality, every inch I ran at the beach was so worth it. These expressions are just priceless!
Another thing I really look forward to after shooting mpetit portraits is putting together an album. These kiddie "coffee table book" albums are great! Modern, contemporary and fun... it certainly is one of the best ways to tell your little one's story. Flipping through the pages will show the endless smiles & expressions we'll always adore!
Going through my own childhood photos always bring back wonderful memories. I'm really glad I get to to this for somebody else!
This is extra special because the site was built from the ground up. Long hours of collaborative efforts have finally paid off. I am proud to introduce (drum rolls....) the new, bigger & better, STUDIOLOZANO.COM!
The PORTFOLIO section now has slideshow previews for the wedding and the "just added" engagement galleries. Clients can now access their Pictage events via the CLIENTS section. And of course, an easier link to the BLOG from the splash page.
My never ending thanks to the technical genius of Resty Furuc who was responsible for realizing my vision. Click, enjoy and send me some love!
Sometime last year, I had a wonderful opportunity of photographing Leo. His mom's story is one of the inspiring lives featured in this new book - Gifts: Mothers Reflect on How Children with Down Syndrome Enrich Their Lives. Leo's portrait is in it too! Here's Leo... so adorable! These images are really close to my heart because my brother, Jeff, has down syndrome. Early on in life, our parents have instilled in us how special he is. He is the sweetest! We are thankful on how Jeff has and continuous to enrich our lives in so many ways.
Let's all help support the Down Syndrome Associations across the nation. Grab your copy through Woodbine House or Amazon.
To get the little ones to look at my lens, I tell them to look for the fish in there. Today, Indi found 2! A fat one and a skinny one. She's so creative - loves to draw, color and work on little art projects. I saw quite a portfolio in the making.
Her very soft voice paired with such an animated personality makes Indi more adorable than she already is!
Very cute, bubbly & smart, that's Adrienne. This music lover has probably seen every concert in and out of town. We share a love for the arts and connected instantly. I really enjoyed photographing Adrienne.
Here's a few of my faves, colors are as vibrant as her personality...
I like Carrie & Mike because.... 1. Mike is an awesome photographer 2. Carrie is a darling! 3. They are super fun & cool 4. They have the nicest families 5. And they thought I was 23! (well I'm easy :D)
We had a blast taking their engagement portraits today. They were full of ideas and so up for it too. I am really honored & very excited to be shooting their wedding!
Here's the gorgeous couple... Love this shot! and Rocky was there too, stealing the spotlight just for a little bit...
