The Albojer Family !

On Halloween day I had the special privilege of photographing my super sweet photographer friends Tiffany & Alex from Life Images with their most adorable little boys, Jomei and Tayus (aka “Tay Tay”). Can I tell you how cute they are? Just take a look at them in these photos! We ended up shooting the entire day!……until the sun came down (which resulted in some pretty dramatic images which you’ll see below). The boys’ various and ever so cute expressions were so much fun to capture. Take a look at what we got……Enjoy!
The adorable Jomei enjoying his lollipop!Little Tay-Tay!Both Tiffany & Alex were so easy going in front of the camera…..being awesome photographers themselves, they know how to work it…….love Tiff’s natural laugh in this one!

The boys strolling down the alley
I just loved Jomei’s expression after watching mommy and daddy kissing!
We did a little bit of trespassing after finding this really cool rooftop. After a little while……it seemed like these 2 were really enjoying their intimate session together :o)

I couldn’t get over Jomei’s smile…….come on……how cute is he???!!!
The boys decided that my studio would look a little better with some “chip” decorating …….quite creative I say…..The “Chip-fest” continues Tay Tay having some fun with the camera

Tiff & Alex…It was so much fun spending the day with you all. I had such a blast photographing your family….you are truly blessed with the most adorable little boys.

Love you guys!

(and big squishes for the boys) :o)

December 17, 2008 - 11:03 pm Julie - These are incredible! And SO MANY good ones! How are they going to choose?! You are so gifted.

December 1, 2008 - 1:27 pm Gustavo Fernández - Love those guys, met them at Photo Plus in NYC about a month ago, me partied our buns off. Love the images too!

November 26, 2008 - 5:35 pm Tiffany Albojer - How can we ever thank you??? These are absolutely stunning. I can't stop scrolling... I keep looking at these over and over again. Oh my goodness I will cherish them forever.

You are awesome girl.

HUGE HUGS!

November 26, 2008 - 10:00 am Anna - Such amazing light! Great photos! :)

Tina + Stass = Stephanos!

I had the pleasure of photographing this couple’s wedding many moons ago. And now Stephanos has come along! The most adorable little 5 week old baby boy. So it was time for some family portraits.

I just love his look hereAnd here is “Mercedes” chomping away at his lunch
At one point……Stephanos thought it might be a really funny gag to “pee” on the photographer……you know……something he could tell his friends when he’s older. Well……he can definately do that now!
Thanks guys!………it was great seeing you again and document the family growing!

Then and Now…..the Abbruzzino-Guzman Family

12 years ago I photographed Jessica + Jonathon….2 adorable little children who were 6 years old at the time. I recently was asked to take some updated photos of the kids……..who are now 18! I just couldn’t wait to see how they had grown. So I showed up at their home and was greeted by a tall, handsome man! It was Jonathon! And I couldn’t beleive how Jessica had grown! She is a very sweet, beautiful girl. They are both so gorgeous. I just couldn’t get over how much time has gone by. Here are some of their 1996 photos… and now their 2008 photos! (Even back then I was into the “grungy” ruins look)

Ahhhhh……the good ‘ol days! I dug up the old negs and dusted them off. Do I miss the days of cutting and taping each neg onto appropriate Masks from A-E according to how much you wanted cropped?…….hmmmm……..no. But then again, photoshop was never touched, and what you see is what you get!I had to scan these negs to even be able to put them on the blog. Back then, I shot most of my casual sessions in Sepia. The negs had a magenta colour to them. To get the sepia, I actually processed XP2 B&W film in C41 (colour). It’s crazy when I hear that some photographers have never worked with, or even seen 2 1/4 inch negs! (I’m feeling really old now)How adorable? If you havn’t noticed yet…..Jessica and Jonathan are twins, and she will tell you that she is very proud to be the eldest twin………by a whole minute!! You can’t see it in this photo, but Jonathon’s teeth are still the same! I could not get over how much he reminded me of David Blaine! (the magician). His voice and entire demeanor were identical! It was crazy! (by the way……just kidding about the teeth thing…….ha! :o)

And here is mommy. Maria is exactly how I rememberd her. She was all laughs when we got to this point.
Freddy is originally from the Dominican Republic. A very calm, sweet gentle man. Him and Maria are perfect together.

Glendon has a foot fetish……….cute shot G!


Thank-you for sharing your growing years with me……..it was very special…..and I had alot of fun!

May 21, 2008 - 9:26 pm TYKM - .... now that you've mentioned it.... G.... DOES have a foot fetish!!!!! I remember a shot he took at a baptism.. and it was of feet!! AHAHA

May 8, 2008 - 10:38 pm Christopher Luk - YAY! Tilt-shift :)
G and I tried playing with a tilt-shift lens (Nikon calls it Perspective Control or PC) for the first time the other day and we were utterly lost, confused, and came out with horrible images ... I don't know how you do it! Mad respects, Sil :p

I really enjoy the palette of "earth" colours this time around.
"8" is just absolutely magical; they just emit such a huge contagious smile :D

I concur -- G does have a foot fetish.

Book your Spring Lifestyle Session!

Spring is here! Time for snails and silly things!

I am starting to feel especially refreshed at this time, and so I am including a special gift to anyone booking their children’s lifestyle session over the next week….until April 6th. (Photo session may take place anytime this spring).
Let’s go out…..breathe some fresh air…..and have some fun!

Back from Nova Scotia !!

I took a 2 week break out in Nova Scotia where the air is fresh! I needed to rest my eyes from computer overload and the craziness of the season. My sister and her family live just outside of Halifax, so it was great to connect again and see how the kids have grown! (Alot of the following photos were taken with my point-and-shoot since I hadn’t planned on shooting, and so didn’t bring my entire gear with me….but I had to shoot…couldn’t help it!)

Somehow I always experience the really neat stuff……..like being there just in time to see “Noel” wreak havoc. I thought the house was going to come down! Here’s a shot I took in Queensland, NS.

During the last day of my stay, I took the car and started driving. Where? I don’t know. I wanted to be surprised. And I needed to shoot again since I was feeling a little deprived. Well….I experienced so many things along the way, and met lots of kind people. It was just beautiful! This is the bottom part of the Bay of Fundy. The tides come in and out……and when there out…….they leave quite an interesting display of PURE MUD.I had such a great conversation with a farmer, and the owner of these vintage tractors, which he still uses! Eugene was such a sweet man who so happily gave me the entire history of all his equipment! (I’ll try to post a photo of him later). The middle one is a 1964!This is by far the largest Rubix Cube I’ve ever seen !Mr. Cow kept a close eye on me in case I got too close to his herd. And here is sweet Bianca. (She was practicing for Halloween night)



Now Darius was quite interesting. The last time I saw him, he could barely walk on his own. Now he can read this entire book in one day! He has a collection of books, really thick ones, which he reads in less than 2 days!
And so it’s Halloween……I don’t normally participate in this, but the kids were really looking forward to their Auntie walking with them. Well, my sister walked, and I took photos!

As you can see……we had a “Wizard of Oz” theme going on. My sister was quite creative in making all of their costumes….from scratch!
And here’s Darius as the “Tin Man”. (Poor guy could barely move)



My sister’s town has a population of 3,000. It’s a beautiful town with friendly people. (Whom I kept seeing over and over again as I walked).And very trusting people I might add……..this apple stand was left unattended all day!Now this was funny. On my last day there as I drove all across NS, I quickly stopped for a delicious hot Lobster Bisque, only to come out and see this! I just laughed as I tried to get in through the passenger’s side. You could barely fit a pencil in between the cars! (God has such a sense of humor!)

April 11, 2008 - 6:11 am Silvana - Thanks!
I was using a Canon SD800 for some of these shots.

April 10, 2008 - 6:34 pm Anonymous - Great work Silvana! what a wonderful story you are able to tell.. curious.. such great photos with a point and shoot.. what kind were you using if you don't mind me asking..

January 3, 2008 - 5:21 pm Dave Biesse - As always.. A great inspiration to get out and see the world, and capture it with passion, emotion and sensitivity. Such a wonderful story telling.

Happy new year - Look forward to catching up with you sometime.
