Happy Mother's Day

Today is a Mother's Day for everyone who is a mom for anything you could name it.

Last week,  I went for a photo shoot with this wonderful lady who is a Step Mom for this beautiful 5 year old girl who she would call her Mama.    It was a hot day but we manage to get some good photo. As the photo proves how much patience you had during the time of Heat waves,  Keira's being tired, and Hard to find the right spots that would make her mellow in her own comfort zone. 

As This lady name Karli, she wanted something to remember and make herself feel proud of her accomplishment being a step mom. 

You have no idea, How Keira is blessed to have you in her life. You have no idea how Keira glows when she's around you. She knows that she is in safe arm around you. When I was with her, I can see all the love she see in you guys. Keep up good work being Step mom. It might be a hard journey but you did amazing, I bet people will agree.

Being Step mom would be a difficult journey as to get know this child and give the love for this child.  You have excessed the expectation and Keira has already got all the loves, blessing from you and the family. 

With the photo you see,  Keira would do things that she loves , the same way as Karli Love. 

Once again , Thank you for choosing MVAphotography, It was lots of fun working with you guys despite the heatwave but we made it through. 

 

Keira look up to her Mama

 

Mama give all her loves as much she can 

Even around the different surround, Mama made sure Keira feel safe.

Keira show her love for Mama even she not looking.

The ladies who know how to pose beautifully

  

Talk the day away and laugh together.

Birthmarks with Jodi Knox

This beautiful lady name Jodi Knox, she has been my friend for a long time.  She came to us and wanted to have a photo shoot, mostly focus on her birthmark.  Why birthmarks you asked?   She was born with birthmark on her neck, arm and some on her back.  Beautiful marks you could ever see.  God has a reason why she has those marks. 

She shared us the story about why she want the photo session focus on her birthmarks. We were touched by her stories.  Let her tell her story and for you to see the picture and understand the story.

God is amazing who created this beautiful lady with the birthmarks.


"Hey is that chocolate milk on your neck?" "Nope it's a birthmark, when God made me he did some finger painting!" "Oh, cool, wanna play?"
As a kid when birthmark questions came my way I was never embarrassed or ashamed because I really did think my birthmark was cool, something to be celebrated, bragged about even.  Birthmarks have long been covered up, removed or hidden.  It is time to celebrate the priceless masterpiece that you are, because it truly is a part of what makes you special and unique.  Join me and celebrate your own unique birthmarks.

Secret Maternity Photo Shoot with Sherra Yorobes

We had an awesome session with Sherra, who is expecting a child coming up this January 26,2014. 
Looking forward to meet this bundle of joy. 

For the session, our original plan was just do some photo of her maternity. She came with some awesome idea and thought why not do some surprise session for her partner for Christmas.  It was an amazing session, amazing experience I have ever DONE!  We did some nudity photo and many more.  All the picture turns out AMAZING,  as everything was my favorites, Hard to pick the best one!    

She was the first client that worked for us and ever since, she always has been my FIRST for everything.  Thank you Sherra for letting me try and make this happen.

We really had so much fun, so much laugh and we were in comfort zone and was able to blend in with all ideas, and felt like home when she was able do some nudity.  ( It was just Me and Sherra for this session)  But Michael was amazing to help setting up the studio backdrop and lights etc to make this happen and was able to share some ideas as well. 


Once again, website wont be posted till after holiday, because some picture I want show, but it has to remain secret for her partner.


Sherra's comments:

"Just did a secret maternity shoot with MVAphotography for my partner’s Christmas present. I can’t say enough positive things about their professionalism and creativity during this shoot. They incorporated my ideas with theirs and we ended up with some really great photos that my partner and I (and even our little one) will enjoy for many years to come! Some of my ideas had me stepping out of my comfort zone but MVAphotography was more than willing to accommodate and made this shoot so comfortable for me that we could successfully accomplish what I had in mind in a very classy and tasteful way. Thanks again MVAphotography for your hard work, for the experience, and for the awesome shots!!!"

Hello Everyone, Hope everyone had a great summer of 2012.

We have been busy during the summer including doing this one beautiful wedding, It is really SIMPLE wedding that we have gone to and do the sessions with Peter & Melinda. During those wedding, the weather was absolutely beautiful, perfect for a backyard wedding. 

Michael and I(Vanecia) worked together and agreed where we should be taking the shots and be able to catch every moments of the bride and groom.  There was no limitations as everyone was able to enjoy their day at the wedding. 

Peter and Melinda has so much surprises for every guest as they entered with a music, Melinda sing a song to Peter then escort with a few dances along to the altar with their Marriage of Commissioner. They were exchanging a vows, their dog was able to be in every shots, every steps of their journey to a new marriage life. After the wedding, they still dance their way to the bartender and got a nice cold drink and enjoy meet and greet the guests. Coming for a more surprise,  the Groom decide to go for a dip in the pool with the kids and friends.  They had so much BLAST. It was a perfect way to end the day swimming in hot weather.

Everyone enjoy their meals, It was pretty delicious food from CJL Catering and the wonderful cake making from Nachelle's Cakes.  The night enclosed with many fun, many loves, and many memories to be made!

Congrats Peter & Melinda,  We would like to say MANY thanks for inviting and choosing MVA Photography to shoot your big day. It was beautiful wedding.
