Bedazzled Photography | The Blog bio picture

HEY THERE!

Welcome to my blog photo journal/blog where I document stories of couples in love, people and children through pictures.  I started Bedazzled Photography because of my love for capturing and telling life's story through pictures.  I am a wedding, lifestyle, and portrait photographer.  I love love what I do and love seeing and observing couples in love.

Five of my favorite things in the world are 1.God; 2.My Niece and soon to be born Nephew; 3. My Family, CC and Friends; 4. My Camera and of course 5. I Heart Cake-Red Velvet or Muffins.

My friends say if a Lioness and a Zebra has a child, I would be their offspring because the Zebra is quite distincet and stands out for it's uniqueness, and really, no other animal is covered in black and white stripes; while the Lioness is strong, opinionated, determined, confident and loving as well.

I make friends easily, so don't be surprised if you go from being a client to my friend. ;) I laugh too much, I love food.

Personally, I am inspired by my mother and I will say like myself she is a Zebra and  Lioness.  Artistically, I am inspired by works of my late grandfather and Jesh De Rox because of their distinctive and unique form of sculpture, fine art and photography respectively.  So, enjoy this ride with me and feast your eyes on Life through my Eyes.

Arizona-My New Home and Sneak Peeks

I don’t think I have actually said a proper Happy New Year to all my blog readers. Consider this a hearty :) :) HAPPY NEWYEAR!  With getting engaged, planning a destination wedding, quitting my job and moving/relocating to the other end of America, I have had a busy several months :) but I am finally beginning to settle into the New Year. So please pardon my absenteeism (if that is a word) from the blog world but I am BACK and ready to roll hahaha in Arizona that is.  I am now a resident of PHOENIX, ARIZONA and I couldn’t have picked the best time to escape the winter storm heading down the east coast today…hehehe.  So dear friends, please feel free to refer me to all your Arizonian friends Brides and families :) (yep shameless plug :) .  Anyway, I can’t obviously leave you guys without any pictures so here are some sneak peeks that jumped out at me as I am still editing  one of my favorite couples who braved the cold two weekends ago in Central Park New York. This has become a client favorite location, so of course it always challenges me to shoot in a way that no two shoots are alike.  Ok enough talk enjoy some pictures.

xoxo

Announcing Baby Kyle

As you all know my little one and only niece is one of my favorite people in the world and recently her mother (my sister) birthed a new favorite person of mine. My adorable nephew Kyle. He is the cutest thing ever. Here are some pictures I took of him four weeks after he was born.  I processed some of these a little differently than I normally do because there was something so peaceful and calm about him and I felt I should process the images differently.  Enjoy!

Of course Izzy had to make an appearance. She was quite the helpful littel sister :) .

And lastly my sister Kay and her babies! God has blessed her with such a beautiful and healthy family!
