Esther - Sweet Sixteen Photoshoot

"Sweet Sixteen" Photoshoot.

I have been receiving a lot of Quinceañera's (Sweet Fifteen/ Sixteen) inquiries and a lot of parents wishing to hire PaumenPhotography for their Quinceañera's event. Regrettably, we have been very busy with engagement photo shoots and/or weddings that we have not been able to commit.

I was pretty bummed out because I love Quinceañeras; and not having the time to commit to any this year decided to set up a Quinceañera's photoshoot with one of my beautiful models and niece Esther.

Enjoy!!!

Xiomara's Bridal photoshoot.

The beautiful bride you are about to see is one of our favorite models "XIOMARA".
Xiomara has been modeling for PaumenPhotography for the past 3 or 4 years.

I love setting up photoshoots from time to time to test out new equipment and/or new locations. At PaumenPhotography we are always trying to innovate the art of photography, and do so by visiting new "secret" locations. It is my specialty to bring you new concepts when it comes time to plan your special day.

Enjoy!

Thip's Photoshoot [model series]

Thip is an amazing model. We went to our favorite secret location and calculated that it would take 5 - 7 hours to finish the photoshoot. WE WERE AMAZED when we were done with the WHOLE thing in 32 minutes........ We must have taken about 250 frames of our model - the next better than the last. I will keep posting some more later. In the meantime....
Enjoy some of my favorites... including ME in some of them....

Hello Bloggers...
I am sharing some images I had the privilege to capture of one of my favorite male models. The Model's name is Thip V., a wonderful model, and an even better friend.
The following are what I like to call concept photography images. I am the modern photographer of PaumenPhotography and love to come up with interesting, and different concepts to capture with my camera.
Enjoy!

Ms. Margaret Jackson

Hello Bloggers...
The following images are from Ms. Margaret Jackson. Ms. Jackson is a Jazz Gospel singer and hired PaumenPhotography to do her CD cover photoshoot. We took the images at our studio in Nokesville, Virginia (a place that you can rent for any event - camping, retreats, weddings, indoor soccer, etc etc etc). The photoshoot took all day (literally), but it was a wonderful and very rewarding experience. I actually got many tips from Ms. Jackson stylist, makeup artist, and hair designer - I even learned a little something about producing since her producer also stopped by.
I must admit, I felt IN LOVE with Ms. Jackson's voice.
Keep in touch, we'll announce her CD releasing date as soon as that information is available.

In the meantime, Enjoy the images...

Darling :-)

My French Friends...

The following images were taken on a recent trip to Europe. My friends from Cafe Eiffel are located a block from the Eiffel tower in Paris, France.

This is me with Raphael, Christopher, and Anthony.
This is me preparing my friends for the following shot...

Here they are. The sweetest gentlemen in Paris.


This is the sweet Christopher...



One of my beautiful Nieces - "Esther" -

This is one of my beautiful nieces - "Esther" - . I say one because We are a Large family "FULL" of beautiful women.
When I look at these images I realize how quickly time passes you by. I held Esther in my arms when she was only 5 months old. I remember her pink dress, the pink ribbon on her bold little head and her big beautiful cheeks, but most of all I remember how little she was. The following images are from a photoshoot we had planned awhile back, and due to our very limited FREE time - the photoshoot was possible just a few weeks ago.

Love you Esther!!!

Darling :-)
