Blue Spring State Park, FL...

2009-09-18T15:51:00.004-04:00

Jonathan and I have decided to have one family outing a month that doesn't cost much if anything at all. This outing is for the whole family including grandma, my brother, and my sister and her family. It allows us to take the kiddos out without spending an arm and a leg.

So, last Saturday we went to Blue Spring State Park. It costs $6 to park your car and the rest is free. Since we have a mini van, we spent less than $1 per person, which come on, who can complain.

We had brought our bathing suits 'cause we were ready to cool off in the spring, which by the way we didn't know at the time that it is 72 degrees year round. To many that is nothing, but to me it was like ice. Being the wimp that I am, I only stuck my feet in. Jonathan tried being the brave one and jumped in. He was swiming vigorously..."Jonathan why are you swimming so fast?" To this he responded, "it makes the pain go away." We couldn't help but crack up.

So, to cut it short. We walked around, took the kids to the park, and went to a small museum that they have on the grounds. And had a really nice time.

Here are a few of the pictures I took when we first go there.

Here's my mom, my daughter, Jonathan, my sister, my nephew, and my bro-in-law.

Here's my sister with her husband and son...

Grandma & Bella - She was having the time of her life, both of them were.

Aunty & Bella looking at something that Bella was pointing at. I have no clue what it was, but she was very excited about whatever it was. She loves her aunty!

Jonathan & Bella - Daddy's Girl

My nephew - Isn't he such a cutie!?!

Here, Bella found a leaf. For some reason she loves picking up leaves whenever she finds one. I had to put the sequence of these, because I just love her facial expressions, they're so funny and cute.

Jonathan & Bella again, I ran in front to capture a picture from both angles. I just love these two!!!

My nephew spotted a squirrel and went running after it.

The squirrel ran away...

And mom went running after him. He got caught, lol.

Wedding - Jennifer & Danny

2009-08-31T16:38:00.008-04:00

Saturday, I had the pleasure of shooting Jennifer and Danny's wedding. It's amazing how it came and now it's gone. CONGRATULATIONS you two!!!

Everything turned out great, and all of the family support was AMAZING! I'm amazed at all the talent that our family has. My Uncle Vito did the food, which was absolutely delicious, Josue did all the decor and the dresses. Which by the way, he did the bride's dress in THREE days. Titi Minin, Titi Rosita, Aunt Janet, Michelle, my mom and so many others helped out with serving and cleaning up. My cousin, Michelle, also did me a favor and shot the ceremony with me. THANKS Michelle!

It was a success! Here are a few pictures of the bride getting ready, and of course I had to throw in THE KISS. I'll have more later...

Engagement - Jennifer & Danny

2009-08-14T21:41:00.005-04:00

The other day I had the enjoyment of photography Jennifer & Danny. They are getting married at the end of the month and I am looking forward to photographing their wedding as well.

They are such a delightful couple, and you can definitely tell that they are in love. They were so laid-back during the photo shoot and went right with the flow. I have to say, between Jonathan and I, the photos turned out amazing! Here are a few from their session...

Senior Photoshoot - Toshica

2009-08-09T12:55:00.007-04:00

I had the pleasure to photograph Toshica the other day. Her mother and her are so sweet, and they made the session quite enjoyable. Thankfully, we finished with our session and right then it began to pour. AMAZING!

Thanks again Toshica, and I hope you enjoy your photos.

Words from the Heart...

2009-04-10T09:00:00.003-04:00

I wanted to give a special thanks to a couple that I worked with last year, Michele & Edgar. They were one of the sweetest people that I've worked with in a very long time. This is what she wrote to me the other day.

Noelia,

I absolutely love the new website. I am not sure if I can ever express how much I LOVE the pictures you took at the wedding. You and your husband will always be a part of our life's because I have the pictures everywhere! Edgar and I are actually living back in the DC area and are still very happy. It is still hard to believe how quickly time has passed. I hope all is well with you and your husband and your new baby.

Take care,

Michele Veliz

WOW, I was stunned and so appreciative of this letter, it actually brought tears to my eyes. It never seizes to amaze me when God sends such great people my way.

Lord, thank you for everyone, and everything that you have placed in my life. With you, all things ARE possible.

Launching New Website....

2009-04-06T23:50:00.002-04:00

It's been way too long.

Well as you probably already know from the title, we have launched our new site. For those of you who don't know the new URL address it's http://www.noeliakline.com, you can also go to http://www.noeliasantiago.com.

We're excited, so check it out and let us know what you think.

ICDC Car Show - October 2008

2008-10-06T23:41:00.006-04:00

It's been too long, and I have so much to say...

So, I went to a car show on Saturday with my husband and our little ladybug. I have to say, I've never been a fan of guys "hooking-up" their cars. I always thought it was such a waste of money. But I must say that my opinion somewhat changed after Saturday.

I saw the look on my husband's face while he was checking out each and every car in the show. He looked a like a kid in a candy store, deciding which candy was the best of them all. I have to say that it was the cutest thing ever, seeing him "ohh" and "ahh" in delight.

So of course I had to tell him that he could do a few 'fix-ups" with his car...what have I gotten myself into? :)

Well anyways, I had a good time and he was content with the fact that he got what he wanted...

Take a look at some of the cars from the show:

Almost 2 months old...

2008-10-06T20:31:00.002-04:00

So I think it's time to introduce her to the World.

As many of you know, I was pregnant. Well, our little bundle of joy arrived on none other than the first day of the Olympics, August 8, 2008 at 10:26pm.

I know it took me a long time, but I thought it would be better to wait. On Wednesday she'll be 2 months old. I still can't belive that I am a mommy. WOW!

I won't be posting any pictures of her for now, but I promise I'll put one up soon. Just stay posted to see it...

Just Like Old Times...

2008-10-06T20:28:00.002-04:00

So today I had the pleasure of having my cousin Michelle over. I haven't hung out with her in such a long time, so I really enjoyed myself today. We talked for about 5-6 hours, about everything.

I hope that this will be one of many times that we'll be able to spend time together. I've missed her a lot.

Thanks Michelle!

Nancy & Danny

2008-07-28T14:48:00.005-04:00

Yesterday I met up with an old friend, Nancy, and her fiancé, Danny, to do an engagement shoot for the lucky couple.

Nancy and I went to school together and both graduated with a degree in Elementary Education. Since gradution, we haven't seen much of each other, and it was so nice to see her again.

Her fiancé, Danny, is such a sweet, loving guy, and you can tell that he is truly in love with her. They make such a cute, and ideal couple. CONGRATULATIONS you guys!

For their shoot we went to the Monroe Harbour Marina in Downtown Historic Sanford. It turned out to be a nice session, even with the hot weather.

Here are a few pictures of the newly engaged couple:

The Countdown Continues...

2008-07-14T22:20:00.003-04:00

Only 31 days left until baby Isabel is born. Jonathan and I couldn't be more excited! We'll keep you posted with any further information.

Please, keep the three of us in your prayers.

Thank you for all of your support!

My Birthday Getaway...

2008-07-14T21:07:00.012-04:00

As many of you know, I turned 26 on July 7th. Because it is my last birthday before I become a mommy, Jonathan decided that we should go away for the weekend to celebrate.

He booked a night at Disney World's Dolphin Resort, AMAZING! It was so beautiful, and I had a very fun and relaxing experience.

We arrived somewhere between 1pm-2pm and went up to our room, which was at the end of the hall, very private, and overlooked Disney's Boardwalk. We had a great view, from two separate balconies. I've never stayed in a room with two balconies. I guess there's a first for everything, lol.

Around 3pm we headed to Downtown Disney to check out all the shops. Jonathan and I were dressed semi-formal, he said he had a surprise. Boy did he, when we got there we headed straight to Cirque du Soleil to get tickets that he had purchased on-line. I was psyched!

We were a bit hungry so we grabbed a bite at the Wolfgang Puck Cafe. YUMMY! We ordered a four cheese pizza, but instead they brought us this wonderful entrée...

Even though it wasn't what we ordered, I love tomatoes, so we gobbled it all up.

Then we visited some of the local shops and around 5:30 went back to Cirque du Soleil for the 6:00 show. The show was absolutely fascinating! The stunts were crazy and they left you wanting more. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. Great for the whole family!

After the show we went to some of the actually Disney shops and checked out all the Disney toys and souvenirs. I wanted to buy everything. Towards the end of the night we went to one last shop to buy some candy. We ended up getting a caramel apple, a chocolate covered pretzel, and chocolate covered marshmallows....oh and a Coca-Cola & Strawberry icee in a Goofy souvenir cup.

When we got to the hotel we ate at the Fountain, which serves quick and easy meals like hamburgers and salads and shakes. Everything was delicious!

When we were done we went back to our room for a well earned sleep.

The next morning we woke up around 9am got ready to go eat breakfast. While eating, some Disney characters came and joined us. It was a great way to start the morning. We had fun taking pictures and spending time with them.

After breakfast, we headed to the Boardwalk for about an hour or two and then headed back to the hotel to go home. It was a wonderful weekend and I have to thank my wonderful husband for making it all happen, and my mom for taking care of our puppies while we were gone. Thank you!

My Last Wedding This Summer...

2008-06-22T22:01:00.017-04:00

So, yesterday was the last wedding that I'm shooting for the summer, due to the fact, which most of you know, that I'm over 32 weeks pregnant.

The lucky couple whose wedding I shot was Edgar & Michelle. They are such an easy going couple. They booked with me August of last year and their day finally came, and let me tell you that it was amazing!

They exchanged vows in a beautiful catholic church, and then had their reception at the Radisson Resort Orlando - Celebration in Kissimmee. The reception hall was exquisite and the food was to die for. They treated Jonathan and me like we were family.

I have to say that this has been my favorite wedding so far. It was elegant and the people were just so friendly. Everyone kept asking us to join them to eat, to dance, and just have a good time; I love it!

This is why I do, what I do. I'm hoping that after my little one arrives that I'll have a lot more experiences like this to come.

Here are a few pictures to show you just how it went...

What an experience...

2008-06-19T07:21:00.004-04:00

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting with many local vendors in the Central Florida area. We discussed our future plans for our businesses and how we could improve on what we are doing now.

Our lunch, courtesy of Maison Jardin, was absolutely amazing; it left me in awe! I will definitely be attending more of these luncheons in the future to get connected with more vendors, and bringing their names to my brides.

Thank you Robin for everything, and for introducing me to so many people. I really appreciate it! I hope to work with you very soon.

Food Poisoning

2008-06-08T08:58:00.000-04:00

It's been a while since I've posted, but here's the latest post...

As many of you know, Friday was the last day of school for students in Seminole County, FL. It was a very sad day for me, I will miss my second graders very much.

After school we had out school luncheon at Bennigan's. Yummy, you might be thinking, but not so yummy for me. I got food poisoning from eating one of the salads.

My stomach was up in rambles Friday and all of Saturday. I lost 2-3 lbs. because of all the throwing up that went on. Boy was I mad! My meals consisted of saltine crackers, watermelon and grapes, ending the night with some soup.

My biggest worry during the whole time was, "I hope the baby is OK." She reassured me by moving around profusely, which at some times did not help with the nausea I was experiencing.

Well, I am glad to say that today, I woke up feeling much better; I hope it stays that way.

How has your week gone?

Fun in the Sun...

2008-05-07T19:34:00.001-04:00

Sunday was a very fun day! I had a scheduled photoshoot in Cocoa Beach, with the Aldrich Family.

I work with one of the girls, and she had wanted to do a family photoshoot for a while now. She asked me if I could do it; I said, "Yes!"

Her little nephew is so cute. All he wanted to do was jump in the water, which eventually he did. He wanted nothing to do with the photos. All he cared about were the cruisers out at sea, and getting himself into that water. I think I captured some good photos of him, doing just that.

Aldrich Family, I want to say thanks for making the shoot such a success, and for giving me the opportunity to work with all of you. You are a very sweet family, and you're all lucky to have each other. Again, Thank you!

Saraid & Nef's Engagement Shoot

2008-04-28T07:00:00.000-04:00

I had the privilege of shooting the engagement shoot of a friend from church. I was very excited, as I usually am when I'm shooting, but I was not feeling my best. As some of you know, I've been sick for the last 2-3 days and it really stinks!

Well anyways, I had so much fun, and after they opened up to my crazy antics, I have to say it's been one of my favorite shoots. I think they really turned out great, and I can't wait to show them the results.

For now, here are a few of the shots I took of them...

Our Little Bundle of Joy!

2008-04-25T22:28:00.000-04:00

Like I mentioned in my previous blog, my nephew, Ivan, was born on Sunday, April 13, 2008 at around 1:57pm (if I'm not mistaken). He came in only weighing at 5lbs. 11oz., but he's as strong as ever.

I'm amazed at how attached one can get, even when the child isn't one's own. He's the cutest little thing I've ever seen and to prove it, here are a few pictures I took of him, the last time I saw him.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to go see him today, because I'm home with a cold. I don't know if it's from the whole pregnancy thing, or something I got from one of the kids in my classroom. Hopefully it will be gone by tomorrow.

For now, it's off to bed I go!

A new addition to the family...

2008-04-14T20:27:00.000-04:00

My family and I were blessed with a new addition to the family, my nephew, Ivan Gabriel.

He was born yesterday, April 13, 2008. Weighing in at only 5lbs. 11oz, and about 19 1/2 inches long. He's the cutest thing I've ever seen, I could almost eat him. Kind of like a tempting piece of chocolate cake, that you know you just can't have, lol.

I am blessed and excited at the fact, but still can't belive that I am now an aunt.

Thanks to everyone for their love and support, and continue to keep mommy and baby in prayer while in the hospital. They are doing just fine!

FREE Engagement Session...

2008-04-05T15:37:00.002-04:00

My Sister's Maternity Shoot...

2008-02-17T21:03:00.001-05:00

Today I had the privilege of shooting my little sister's maternity shoot, and did they come out lovely or what!!! My husband and I went on a wonderful walk with my sister and my brother in law through one of my favorite shooting sites and were able to capture some very beautiful pictures of the two of them, that I am sure they will treasure forever.

The natural site was amazing and we were even able to get some shots of several cranes and even a woodpecker. This shoot brought out something in me that I haven't felt in a long time, a sense of pride in my work. I hope I have many shoots like this to come in the future...Thanks, Nydia & Edwin (and baby Ivan) for bringing that out in me and my photos.

New Year....new shoot!

2008-01-13T20:36:00.002-05:00

Wow, it's a new year and I never wrote anything to start the year, what a bummer...Oh well!

I am blessed to be in my new home along with my husband and now that we're having a baby things couldn't be any better for the two of us. I am loving it!

On another note...

I had the pleasure of photographing a very cute couple yesterday. They are such an adorable couple and very nice. I know the guy from church and his girlfriend was just a doll. So enough talking, I thought I'd share some of the pictures that I took of them, which I think turned out very sweet.

2007-11-23T10:25:00.000-05:00

Thanksgiving is such a wonderful time to spend with family. Not only do you get to be with loved ones, but you get to stuff your face with awesome food as well.

So, yesterday we went to have Thanksgiving with my husband's grandparents, who live in New Smyrna Beach. They live one street across from the beach, walking distance of course, AWESOME!!! It's so pretty there and I always love going to their house, it's always fun!

She had turkey, of course, carrot souffle, mashed potatoes, sweet potato pie, green bean casserole, sweet corn casserole, gravy, buns...you name it, it was there. I wasn't even able to finish half my plate before I was rolling over gasping for air. I was in HEAVEN! Talk about never ending food buffet, lol.

Well the night ended with us playing 25 Word or Less, and of course we won, ha.

Maybe next year we'll have it in our new house, which I am happy to say is beautiful and much bigger than our apartment!

Thanksgiving is definitely time to give thanks...thanks for my husband, our family & friends, our pets, our home, the food we have, our jobs, and so much more. Thank you Lord for all that you've given me, and bless those who are not as fortunate as we are!

God bless and I hope that you had as great a Thanksgiving as I did!

The Holidays are around the corner

2007-10-22T20:01:00.000-04:00

Lisa & Maurice's Engament Session

2007-10-21T10:57:00.001-04:00

I was a little nervous when I was on my way to meet with Lisa & Maurice. I brought Jonathan along to help out with anything needed, which worked out great. He always does a great job when he's with me...Kudos hunny!

Anyways, Lisa & Maurice are one of the sweetest couples I've met. At first, as usually happens, they were serious and a bit timid, but by the end of the session, we were laughing and telling all kinds of stories. It was such a pleasure to do their shoot, and I got some wonderful shots. So let me stop blabbing and show you some of the shots taken...

...More photos to come of their wedding on October 26th...

Ryan's Homecoming

2007-10-06T22:56:00.001-04:00

I haven't been keeping my posts up to date so here's another shoot that I did today for my brother-in-law, Ryan, and his Homecoming date. They were just too cute.

So much encouragement...

2007-08-07T01:56:00.001-04:00

Lately I've been getting more and more calls about booking weddings and other events with LuLu's Photography, and I'm so excited.

I've been given so much encouragement from the people around me, and it's amazing. I wouldn't be this far in my business if it weren't for the people that support me and encourage me to go further. Thank you to my husband, my family, and friends for all the kind words directed towards me.

On another note...

I did another wedding on July 28 and I was very pleased with the results, here are a few to show you....

I hope you like them.

Too many too put up, so this is all I will put on here.

I will have more photos to come, so stay posted... CIAO!!!

Another photoshoot

2007-07-20T00:42:00.001-04:00

Went to Cocoa Beach on Tuesday, man was it a beautiful day. The weather was perfect for a photoshoot.

A young man from Illinois came down on vacation with his family and decided that he wanted to have his senior pictures done at the beach, where he loves to hang out. His uncle, a professional photographer, looked for 20 photographer that he thought would be good to work with. Out of all those photographer, the kid picked me. What an honor!

Here are a few of the pictures that I took of him.

I had a wedding on Saturday, June 30 and was pretty excited to see the results. I put a lot of the techniques that Kevin gave me to use, and I know that with practice I'm going to get better and better.

Here are some of the results; let me know what you think.

I ended up getting about 800 photos of the bride and groom, after sorting through the ones I liked and didn't like, so I think I did pretty well.

A few words with my mentor...

2007-06-29T15:43:00.001-04:00

I've been blessed with the opportunity to photograph several weddings this month, so of course before going at it, I had to visit my mentor, my own wedding photographer, Kevin Keelan.

I don't know what I would do without Kev, he's taught me more about photography than I've ever learned in a classroom. In fact it was his idea that I start a blog. He said it was a personal look into a photographers life... something like that, lol.

I am amazed at how much I learned in the 2-3 hours I was with him yesterday. He's amazing!

Thank you so much!

I hope to some day be at the level that he is at now. He's been all over the World, and the United States. He's done hundreds of weddings and is still loving it. He's great!

If anyone is interested out there in learning more about photography, check his K2 classes out...www.kevinkeelan.com

Again, thanks!
