Chloe Alexa's First Birthday

Chloe is so loved by her parents and family.
And you can tell by watching her with them on her special birthday. Her mom wanted me to capture her first year by incorporating some of their home made videos and the videos I took at her birthday party. Wishing dear little Chloe a wonderful first birthday!

got milk?

We had a wonderful opportunity to photo shoot the "got milk? toma leche" photo road tour campaign targeted to the Hispanic Community. While we cannot show pictures of the models, here is a preview of the road show shots and of course the photographers (that would be me above and my associate far below) posing prior to the shoot.

Learn more about the "got milk?" campaign at http://www.tomaleche.com/.

Below is our road tour photo set up.




The "got milk?" winner will receive a $500 check plus a spa day with the famous Mexican singer, Ms. Carmen Jara. I'm crossing my fingers it's one of our models who will win the price! Milk is so good for you, even Cleopatra bathed in it to keep her skin and hair silky smooth.

Baby Alexis

We visited baby Alexis in Sacramento. She was extremely shy at first but after a few tricks up our sleeves, we couldn't stop her from smiling. She just loved posing for the camera.

Pumpkin Lamp

This is my pumpkin green lamp that was hand carried in the plane by my late Aunt Beatrice from Duvy, France. I love and miss her so.

My Lamp Quest

I have always loved lamps and collected them all this years. I especially like the colorful Moroccan style lamps.

Quinceanera

Just finished editing and finalizing a Quinceanera video and shipped the DVD. I enjoyed watching Jaz, a young 15 year old girl become a lady.

Quinceanera a Latin tradition when a young girl transitions from childhood to womanhood. It was wonderful to videotape and photograph Jaz and her family, while witnessing long lasting traditions including her dad changing her flat heeled shoes to high heels.

My 1st blog

I finally decided to start a blog page. I am not quite sure what I will always have to say but I'm glad I'm starting this blog. Anyway, welcome to my first blog issue. I hope to keep you abreast with clarisse balistreri's videography and photography adventures.
