A WEDDING IN VENICE ~ SAN JOSE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER ~

My friend Tina and her fiance, Leonard, were married in the dream-like setting of Venice, Italy! It was such an honor to be there to photograph the ceremony. We unfortunately did not have the time to take advantage of this beautiful setting to take many pictures, but the ceremony was lovely and we had a beautiful view of the Rialto Bridge. Congratulations Tina and Len, here's to a wonderful life together!

GOING TO ITALY!

So I am off to Rome on Monday, then on to a cruise throughout the Mediterranean. And I have the wonderful opportunity to shoot a wedding in Venice! I am so excited! I will be back on October 16th, so please keep that in mind when contacting me. I will be checking emails occasionally. And I will try and blog my adventures as I go, but I know internet will be limited. No promises, but I will try!!

I also want you to think about the holidays! I know! Can you believe it? Once Halloween hits, it's all over with. Christmas will be around the corner! And speaking of Christmas, I am offering photo Christmas Cards this year. I am already booking sessions starting the weekend of October 23! Contact me for details.

BRINGING SEXY BACK! BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHY-JANEL KARRLE PHOTOGRAPHY

Boudoir photography is nothing new. It has been around for years, but I think it had been swept under the rug. But now it has made a huge comeback and has been rapidly gaining popularity. For good reason - what better way to make a girl feel, well, girly!? sexy and feminine? It is a fun, safe, private way to feel beautiful and to give a gift that will mean so much. And, as you can see, you can bare it all or not at all and still be sexy and oooh! hot!

Contact me if you are interested in your own boudoir session - just think, ladies, the holidays are just around the corner! A great gift for a bride to give as a wedding gift too!!

ASHLEY-SAN JOSE FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

Parents, don't blink. Because when you do, your little girl (or boy) will grow up during your blink! It's true! And you open your eyes, you see that they are all grown up. It's like, what happened? where did the time go? I know I can't believe it. This is what happened to my little girl! She definitely grew up. And she does make a beautiful model! I couldn't be more proud of her!

We had a lot of fun taking these pictures at my favorite secret shooting spot. Then we were off to Natural Bridges in Santa Cruz the next day. I had a family shoot out there (thanks, guys! I had a blast) and then I got her to play in the surf just before the sun went down. The tide was in and the light was beautiful. Maybe I will post some more later, but for now here are a few of my favorites...

Some fun with the shadows...

Thanks, Sweetie, I had such a good time! You are so BEAUTIFUL! I love you!

ROSE & SOONER-SJ PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER-JANEL KARRLE

This was such a fun shoot! I had a great location, awesome light, and perfect models! Doesn't get any better than that! I love to watch the interaction between people and their pets; it's such an unconditional love! It would be too hard not to fall in love with Sooner, though, he is such a good boy!

San Jose Family Session

I can't believe it has been three months since my last post! Well, it just means I've been busy, right? I have a special reason to post today...a preview of the session I had with a super sweet family with the most adorable little girl! Oh, my gosh, how cute is she?! They were so enjoyable to be around and you could plainly see the love they share. That's why I particularly like the second image!
