Victoria Portrait Session | South Padre Island, Texas

Marisol Roten May 20, 2016

Last month I connected with Victoria through email conversation. She was interested in a portrait session to build upon her brand. She is on the footsteps of creating a brand new career path for herself and decided she wanted a statement image for her biographical portion of the site. She had a vision clearly stated in a somewhat simple sentence. Upon discussing her vision in an email, I immediately imagined what her session would look like. I understood her vision and was eager to make it happen for her photographically.

We scheduled and aimed for a sunrise session at one of the beaches of South Padre Island. While a delay in her schedule and dark clouds made the sunrise part of the session not possible, the outcome was just as beautiful as we had imagined. The vast open dunes of the beach created the perfect backdrop for Victoria to physically showcase what working with her as a creative designer entails for the client. More on this "vision to reality" journey in another blog post soon!

You are lovely Victoria! It was a great experience getting to know you and learning about the direction your new career path will take you on. I wish you much success!

If you are an entrepreneur seeking to maximize your online presence, feel free to give Victoria's creative design the opportunity to take your business to the next level. Visit http://www.victorialucia.com for more information. Good luck Victoria!

Cynthia + Juan Carlos Azteca Ballroom Wedding | Donna, Texas

Marisol Roten October 17, 2014

Cynthia and her sister Alejandra met with me in the early part of 2013 to discuss her summer 2014 wedding. After an early morning conversation, Cynthia and Juan Carlos decided to hire me for their wedding. I was so excited to have earned their trust and business and anxiously awaited their engagement session, Cynthia's bridal session, and wedding day. While it was not the earliest someone had hired me for their wedding date, (someone once hired me two years in advance!!) it did feel like the Ruiz's wedding date would take a while to arrive. We scheduled their engagement session in the early summer of 2013 and Cynthia's bridal's for the spring right before the wedding. It was so difficult having to wait about three months before sharing her bridals!

Juan Carlos and Cynthia are so genuinely in love with each other. While they seem timid at first, once you gain their trust you meet two incredibly sweet human beings. Both educators, they each worked with me diligently during their sessions, anytime I had questions getting to know them, and on their wedding day. I am so excited they have wed this past summer and I am sure they will be blessed with a healthy, beautiful, and loving marriage.
