Anaelis Fabal FASHION V-Q

When I have a Beautiful QuinceaƱera come in to my studio acting shy not knowing what to expect and then they end up telling me that they trust in me to create what we both have envision.. and I create a lot more than what they imagined .. my creative juices just exhilarate.. and this is what happened to me with Anaelis photo shoots.. from the first UNIQUE photoshoot at the Fire Station Museum to our AMAZING  Underwater Fashion shoots.. each session was done with so much style. Her mom and aunt were very involved in the wide selection of fashionable clothing and accessories. They just made it perfect for her.

Anaelis was just perfect in all her sessions.. I simply LOVED to take her pictures. Enjoy!

Emily Hirzel's "GREAT GATSBY 15's EXTRAVAGANZA"


Being part of such a EXTRAVAGANT Great Gatsby Experience was such a great honor for me.  I have been photographing Emily since she was 7 years old. Watching such a beautiful girl grow up to a GLAMOROUS Young Lady has been so much fun. To hear her sing moves your inner soul. I couldn't be happier to feel the freedom of being so creative and deliver the results of so much BEAUTY! Enjoy!

The Walton House Photoshoot Experience... Part 1 of 3

A Hidden “GEM”-



“I want something different, beautiful and unique”, that pretty much sums up the most popular request from our clients. Well, I am proud to present to you what I think most of us in the event industry refer to as a true hidden “Gem”, The Walton House, located in Homestead.

Vp Victoria’s Portraits joined forces with my incredible team and partners at Zeta Entertainment &
Sensational Experience and make up by Yadira Medina to have the opportunity to create these amazing images during a promotional shoot. It was an amazing day led by my Manager & Event Director at Zeta Entertainment, Roxy Quevedo who as an Event Planner, had the models, photography & videography and production crew on a very strict timeline. Ofcourse, the wonderful support and hospitality of The Walton House Director, Frank Blanco made it all worthwhile. Frank’s passion for animals goes beyond anyone’s imagination, coupled with his dedication to upkeep the beautiful surroundings grounds looking like a sanctuary. I present the series of this promotional photo shoots in themed parts since it was so AMAZING in every aspect.

Part 1: “LOVE ALWAYS PREVAILS”

I really did experience an adrenaline rush when I really did go underwater with an alligator that for reasons of not drowning did not have his mouth tapped up.

Most people would think I was crazy for doing this, however, I experience an incredible sense of accomplishment to get such an amazing shot. I would like to personally thank model, Eric Faden for his courage to join me in this fun & exciting endeavor. Also, would like to thank, gorgeous and sizzling hot model, Franchella Ales for making it so easy to photograph her. Every shot was more beautiful than the previous one.  And here is how their love story begins:

Eric and Franchella are in love and in a long-term relationship. They take a walk in the jungle to share a special moment. However, right before Eric builds the courage for the long awaited moment to propose to Franchella, an alligator comes from nowhere and snatches the brilliant diamond ring from him. Eric jumps in the water and struggles to get the ring for his sweetheart. Please see this below this unique image of what we do for LOVE.....


And after much courage, struggle and passion......


                                        LOVE ALWAYS PREVAILS.....

PART 2-     “Our Vintage Wedding Seen Thru the Eyes of Nature” 



Nature, greenery and a vintage setting, this is exactly what my bride had dreamed of for on her special day and again it all became reality in the lush tropical setting of The Walton House. My engage couple had expressed their desire to have their engagement pictures with trees, bamboo, tropical flowers, lagoons and exotic animals. They wanted to reminisce the first time he proposed to her. She remembers going on the most unforgettable bike ride through the woods. Their memory was totally recreated as the dream unveils. I invite you to join me on this very special journey through this exotic sanctuary of LOVE....
 


Off they go to a romantic picnic just as he had proposed in the most charming and exotic setting.



She wears the special dressed and is seen through the eyes of nature....



Their dream becomes a reality when they wake up dancing surrounded by their best friends wishing them a lifetime of happiness...

A Dream Celebration of LOVE... Special thanks and a heart felt congratulations to Monique & Adrian for allowing me to make their dream a reality. 


 Part 3. My Daring & Charming Quinceanera” 

Quite, shy and beautiful describes my initial thought when I had the opportunity to shoot this “very special Quinceanera”. I wanted to transport into a setting of where nature meets glamour and again, I was able to accomplish this thru an exciting and adventurous shoot at The Walton House. Surprisingly, I learned quickly the importance of having the right personality mixed with the essence of the natural setting. I thought her being timid would be an issue when dealing with exotic animals and in an actual professional photo shoot with the crew watching. 

                          Lights, Camera and action.....





Well to my amazement, it was quite the contrary! As I kept clicking the camera, my beautiful model became totally fearless. She was in complete control and every picture would come out better than the previous one. This was a FURIOUS cat that keep hissing with anger as he showed his big teeth. Although trainers were standing by, I was stunned to realized that my gorgeous model became more confident with every hiss. This is where “BEAUTY dominates her BEAST”. Emily and the Furious Cat Suddenly, facing the jungle experience made her connect with her inner self and other beautiful emotions were captured. 



 It was simple to realize then as it is now that there is an essence of strength among the most shy and timid individuals. The tall, strong, handsome, and attractive of them all with the fearless outspoken personalities were afraid to handle the beast. Beware of the beauty and strength that lies within each of ours souls.


 To my special Quinceanera, Emily Hirzel, thank you for participating in this adventurous and enlightening photo shoot. You truly were FEARLESS and I totally admire you!
