Ricardelli .. a family with a big soul !!

I had the privilege to visit with a great family this last Friday, friends of mine who I took their wedding day several years ago. They contacted me to have their new-addition-to-the-family photographs, little Cianna plus their family photographs in their house... well, let me tell you that I had a great deal of fun talking with Shawn and Barbie and taking their photos.

I wanted to share some of the their photographs with you so you can comment your impressions. Thanks and take care.



Now, Once we did the family session, Makailah wanted some photographs as well for her own, so I did this session around their house as well.
Makailah did pose so natural and relaxed for her photographs... she did a great job !! and we had tons of fun as well.



Don't forget to share your impressions while commenting here below.
Beside, remember that this week is the last one for taking photographs IN the studio, I am giving a great deal for "closing studio" ... I am NOT CLOSING my company !! Remember I WILL KEEP TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS everywhere else.

A new season !!

Here I am again… this time I am writing because I have quite a few things to comment… and of course I have photos to show.

Has been a wonderful season (so far) and I’ve been pretty busy with customers weddings, portraits, business, etc. etc. But what I want to share this day is a little bit different stuff… a more personal stuff (leaving into the side all the business stuff).

I don’t know how many people out in the web is reading what I am writing, more than looking at my photographs, but in any case I want to comment this (among other things): I am studying the masters in photography and feel really good that the quality of my photography doesn’t differ that much from their perspectives of work. To prove that I am showing here below the result of my last daughter photo session in the studio about 2 weeks ago.

This is my beautiful wife, Silvia and my latest daughter, Nicole,
addition(ed) to my family this last March 22nd 2009

As you saw, I’ve done a beautiful job... right? And that is not just because my wife and daughter are super beautiful, but because the lighting, posing and the usage of props were placed in the proper composition, angles and proportions.

Passing to a different subject, I do love being outdoors and enjoying myself, along with my family and/or friends.

This past month, I’ve been camping some, and planning some other different activities. Some of this activities had been working with the Young Men in my stake (for the LDS church). We went in a 100 miles trip in three days. It was a really nice time, and when you see the images below, you will realize that I had a really good time.

Me, while the young men were setting camp.

This shot is when we hit the Southest tip of the Antelope Island.
(A trail just opened one week before our trip)

A romantic stock photograph of my settings.

... and a little "two wheeled" playful time... well...
"no wheels on the ground" playful time, right?

Another activity I did was camping with my family up in the Uintah mountains for 3 days as well. We had a really great time and a beautiful photo opportunities. I don’t have all the space I want to include all the photographs I wanted but I think it suffice with the photographs I am posting.

(Oooops, I don't remember the name of it).

We came back home (from our camping) on Saturday July 04th and the tradition of the fire works in Riverdale Park was a must... so we went and had a crowning end from our trip in to the mountains.

Thanks for taking your time and visit me here. I enjoy sharing this special adventures with all my friends and everybody who wants to me better.

Have always fun and take care by doing your best.

Bye bye.

A busy season

Ok, it has been another one full month without any entry in my blog !!! Can you believe it? It has been a really busy and productive May... and since my last entry there have been lots of things and beautiful events that I should of post here, along with hundreds of photographs. As a matter of fact I am posting one more image right now that I took this last Friday out of a wedding... a beautiful wedding up in Wolf Creek Resort in Eden, UT.

Soon, after this season passes I will be able to post more and past weddings from May, including those Bridal sessions and Engagements. But in the mean time I'll post these few ones.

Enjoy them and have fun !!

Tell me your comments.

From New York City with Love

Well, here I am again, and this time from the heart of New York !!, well, Actually I am residing in New Jersey, a bout 1 hour from New York City. As a matter of fact I already went two times to the "big apple" and spend some quality time with my camera... am I in Love or what?. Well, I have to confess that I love my camera A LOT!!.

Passing to a more adult-ish conversation, I want to tell you that I am having a blast here in the east of USA, and though I am most of the time away from a computer, I could have access to one and that's why I am going to add at least one image. I hope you like it.

Another thing I want to mention is that New York City is impressive... and I like it !. Though, as much as I liked it, and the possibilities are (probably) bigger around here, I still love my dear calm and tranquil Utah... probably because the moutains and its people.

Well, I leave you now with this image that I took one of these nights while I was hiking in the New Jersey border of the Hudson river, having a nice look of the Manhattan island. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Take care and I will write you again soon.

Jacy Winner Bridals

Well, I had the privilege of taking the Bridal Photographs of another great customer. Her name is Jacy Winner. On Tuesday morning we planned to meet and take the trip for the location we had previously decided. The day was sunny and beautiful, but breeze and some cold... Jacy managed it perfectly; she was so great that as soon as we start the session, we totally forgot about the temperature and just had lots of fun.

She was assisted but her great husband Warren, he helped a lot to both, his wife Jacy and me, doing some stuff with my lights and lenses.

Well, I want to show you some of the photographs I took that morning.

Let me know if you have any comment.

Thanks.

AL

PS. Talk to you soon.

Karlee Field Bridals

Well... another day, and another beautiful Bride Portraits shoot; her name is Karlee Field, and as well as another brides, Karlee has requested Privacy for publishing her Bridal Images in the Web site (at least not before their wedding day), and I will respect that 100%. But I want to mention something else about Karlee; yesterday, in the morning, I've seen something that I love: Karlee came not alone, but with some family members, sister, sister in law and mom... having that help and support, I think, is GREAT. I personally think and feel that the support and help from family members is the greatest in the world... and it was really fun, we had a great time and we spent almost 2 hours for the session (none of us wanted to finish the session).

Now, today images are coming from Kelsie Adams, who got married about 2 weeks ago... as a matter of fact I post Kelsie and Brock wedding day photographs on the August 15th 2008 Blog... so if you want to check it out, go to :

http://aa-photography.blogspot.com/2008/08/yesterdays-kelsie-brock-wedding.html

Kelsie is great, pretty, active and she really is in love with Brock... and let me tell you (everybody) I had a really good time taking her Bridal Portraits.

Well, enjoy them and tell me what do you think about them.

Thanks.

Jason Corless Senior Portraits

Yesterday morning one of my customers was a friend of mine, who asked me to take his high school senior portraits... it was a blast!. We spend a couple of hours in the session and we were everywhere: my studio of course, the Lobby of the hotel (where my studio is situated) and then we went out in the streets around downtown Ogden. We concentrated our efforts in close portraits rather enviromental portraiture.

Hey Jason, you did great man!.

I am posting 6 (six) photographs out of the 118 photographs I took for you (everybody) to see them... well, let me know what do you think about them.

Thanks again you people.
