Quinceaños de Miguel Peña: La Previa (The Preview)

I have had the honor of being the photographer of Miguel's XV años celebration . I met Jenny, his mom, a couple of months ago and She shared with me that his son was going to turn 15 in March. They had chosen Miguel's Quince's theme to be The Count of Monte Cristo, like the movie. She wanted something really unique a for his son's party, Since I can't turn off my imagination, although sometimes I try, I got all kinds of ideas.

I wanted to take him up to Mount Lemon and do some shooting in the snow, something different. I wasn't sure what was going to be Jenny and Miguel's reaction, but fortunately, Jenny was excited and Miguel was all for it!. First we started with a photo-shoot which I call "La Previa" that means "The Preview", generally defined as: 'an advertisement consisting of short scenes from a motion picture that will appear in the near future'.... Of course, this time, taking it to a different context.
This is an idea that I've been wanting to introduce as an alternative to the classic slideshow with pictures of the XVñero (a) and his growing years. Just like the concept of "surprise dance" was brought to 'spice-up' the traditional waltz, The 'Movie trailer' brings an exciting surprise to the the guests who are invited to the reception. It's like a little taste of what it's coming, more like "You ain't seen nothing yet" kinda-thing...
People don't know all the things that Miguel had to go through during his photo-shoot and the production of his 'Preview'. We do. We put him to work. Even though he had been at a Quinceañera the previous night and had barely slept, he cooperated and pulled it through. His guests were expecting a sequence of pictures since he was born all the way through his teenage years, but he went a bit farther to give his family and friends a complete and unexpected surprise.

Miguel is definitely a super- super cool guy, not only he is extremely handsome but he is well mannered and loooves his parents. We had a blast during the production of his "Previa-Movie Trailer" and of course, his photo-shoot. I'm going to share some of my favs from the Previa, but keep tuned for the pictures from his Big Day.

Boudoir Photography (Tucson)


Boudoir Wedding Photography in tucson, bridal fashion wedding photography in tucson

What is boudoir?...The word itself means "Bedroom" in French, but in reality, it means way more than that. Boudoir Photography is a new trend that has been developing in the later years. It consists of a photo-session in which women, in my opinion, look gorgeous beyond the usual. Many brides choose to experience this kind of photography and prepare a small repertoire of this images as a present to their future husband on their wedding day. Other women choose boudoir as a surprise for Anniversaries or as Birthday present for their boyfriend. And other women explore Boudoir Photography as a mere form of expression. I am personally fascinated by beauty in women. I like to always emphasize the glow in her eyes, her anatomy and her nature.

I am not afraid of nudity, nor I see it as something inappropriate, much less indecent. For me, the concept of nudity or even implied nudity, is an artistic expression of ones self in full awareness of our existence and acceptance as a unique and gifted creature.

Whatever the motive is for anyone to consider boudoir photography, it is important to understand that this artistic perspective of portraiture is intended to be natural, feminine and simple. It doesn't have to do with one's definition of perfection, but with our spiritual, mental and physical connection to express in a different way... subtle, intimate and still elegant.
