“The end result was beyond my hopes” …

August 10, 2008 – 11:55 am

I went to Maryland for 1 week and came back home with a lot of great surprises I will be blogging soon!! …. My favorite one is a fabulous voicemail…..

“I receive the album today and I had to call you to tell you, It is the most beautiful, meticulously design well crafted album I had ever seen. Its just a piece of art and I cannot thank you enough, not only was a complete pleasure to work with you; before, during and the day of my wedding.”

My favorite part :) ……

“The end result was beyond my hopes, it was a… you far exceeded my expectations and trust me I had very high expectations to begin with.”

“I wanted you to heard that. I wanted you to know how much we appreciate your work.” 

– Wouldn’t you love to have a job where at the end someone calls you to let you know how much they appreciate and love what you did?? – 

I also got a letter from a bride & groom; their wedding is this month….. I can’t wait.

“Claudia, Thanks again for agreeing to be our photographer! We can’t wait! Hope everything is going well with you…”

 

I LOVE what I do.

How about you?

Trendy Contest

August 5, 2008 – 4:52 am

Last week I entered one of my images from Claribel’s wedding in my very FIRST contest.  Jenny, owner of Trendy Camera Straps has a shoe fetish and decided to make her first giveaway contest and of course, the image has to be about shoes.

My image got into the best five shoe images. :) How excited this is!!!

Don’t forget to vote for #3 (three) the fabulous shoe.

*Special thanks to Claribel. After all, its her wedding shoe.

  2. Lisa Walsh   -

  3. Valeria McCormick   -  

    Claudia Congratulations on your win! Where the heck have you been? Haven’t heard from you.

Once Upon a Time……

July 13, 2008 – 3:22 am

There was a beautiful bride getting ready -

I love to photographs brides when they are getting ready.  Love all the details, all the excitement, all the craziness going on, the smiles, the tears, their glow into their eyes. Knowing one of their most important moments of their life is just a few hours away.

Here are some photographs of Claribel getting ready at her beautiful house in Milford. I will be posting her ceremony/reception next week, so make sure to bookmark my fabuluxe blog and talk to you then!!  :)

Maternity Session

June 25, 2008 – 5:02 am

I really like this one because it took me about 1 hour to leave the ribbon pink and everything else b&w, why??? because I just forgot :) - Took photoshop in school about 5yrs ago and I just keep doing wrong until I GOT IT!!!

Well… the other one took me about 1hr but this one…. NO EDITING AT ALL!!!

Melanie is so happy she is having a little sister :)

Martha loved the wings so much, that she wants me to do a “Victoria Secret, Angel” photo session after having the little baby girl. :)

Sex and the City

June 17, 2008 – 3:35 pm

I had never watch  the program before, I decided to watch the movie because everyone is talking about how great it is. I was going to watch it with a friend next week, but then………

……………On father’s day, my husband and I were going to watched Indiana Jones and the show started 20 min. before we were there and he agreed to watch the movie with me.

** Guys:  If you are thinking about going with your girl to watch the movie; think again.  My husband was the only male inside watching a girl’s movie.  :)

Eventhought I never watched the program before ddn’t matter.  Its a fabulous movie. :) Not only I will watch it again but I am going to start watching the show. –

  1. Valeria McCormick   -  

    I’m sorry I missed it. I dropped everyone of at the airport. Things won’t be as hectic now. Hopefully I can catch the next great one with you. Your husband is great to have watched that with you instead of Indiana Jones :-)

  2. david & kimi b - ohana photography   -  

    well, then it’s a good thing my wife is generally not a chick flick girl.

  3. enoch   -  

    I’m the same with Ohana - my wife doesn’t watch chick flicks - but shhhh I do and make her. Watched “PS I love you” … it was Niagara Falls for me… not one tear from her.

  4. Marlin Munoz   -  

    I went with my wife because I am actually a fan of the show! She watches Entourage with me and I watch Sex and the City with her! Glad you liked it!

  5. Fabuluxe Photos   -  

    I gotta tell this to my husband. He’ll feel better knowing that guys watch the show. :) -

  6. Krista Photography   -  

    I just saw it last night. OMG! It’s so good!! Glad it made you a fan of the show :)

I missed being a kid

June 8, 2008 – 1:56 pm

We went to fair yesterday and I got an Ice cream for my daughter. As soon as my son saw it started crying because he wanted it. You gotta see this boy….he will eat anything. - Once I gave him the cone with a little bit of chocolate Ice cream he was just so happy; seeing his face how he enjoyed it so much and not even worried about the made he was making in my car :( I realized how much I missed being a kid. I took this picture of him looking at his daddy right after he was about to finished his cone with my new micro lens. I didn’t edit the photo for all of you who are thinking on buying a micro lens. I truly recommend this Nikkor Micro 105mm 1:2.8G ED fabulous lens that also works for portraits.
