Thank you for visiting!

My name is Joan Solitario and I'm a photographer :)

I did not find photography and photography did not find me. Instead, I believe it was a gift from God. He gave me the opportunity to learn photography so that I can help people capture their memories. Most of all, I can use this gift for His glory.

Photography has given me the opportunity to meet and get to know so many wonderful people! It has also given me the opportunity to photograph events that has helped in strengthening my faith. These events have also given me inspiration and memories that will truly last a lifetime! Hopefully, I can inspire someone by sharing these memories through my posts.

I believe that everything that has happened in my life; everything that I have experienced; and every single person that I have met in my life were all part of God's plan for me. So, unto Him, I return all praise, honor, and glory.

28 Hours A Day & Ate Myra’s Maternity Photos

Tuesday, October 28, 2008

Ryan and I had one of the most busiest weekends ever! It started as early as 3:30 AM on Saturday morning to prepare for a wedding in Montclair, CA. Then we had to go to the chapel in the evening to perform as choir members for our Grand Evangelical Mission. We got home around 10:45 PM.

Sunday was as busy as Saturday. Again, we woke up early (around 4:00 AM) to prepare for the 6:30 AM scheduled worship service. After performing, we had just enough time to eat breakfast with kuya Ed and Shey who treated us at George’s Place (THANK YOU!). We all then headed to the viewing of our late sister Fe Evangelista. I’m glad we were able to go in the morning because from there we headed to ate Myra’s house to do a maternity photo shoot with her before it’s too late and baby Arceo decides to come out earlier than expected.

Ryan had to go to work in Irvine, CA while I stayed taking ate My’s photos. We ate some delicious Thai food that kuya Jay and ate My ordered (THANK YOU!). Ryan came to pick me up around 12:30 PM and at around 1:30 PM we headed to San Gabriel Valley for a meeting at 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM. When our meeting ended, we headed back towards Long Beach because we had choir practice at 6:00 PM. We also had a scheduled all officer’s General Meeting at 7:00 PM as well as choir vow afterwards… We got home around 9:30 PM and ate dinner… and I couldn’t believe how much scrambled eggs and spam tasted so good! (I know that it’s not a good healthy choice in food, but give me a break… I had a LONG DAY).

Sometimes I feel like I don’t have enough.. There’s always sooo many things going on with me and Ryan. I don’t know how we are able to get things done sometimes… my only reasoning is… God is giving us an extra 4 hours a day… so instead of 24 hours a day… We actually get 28 hours a days… I’m sure that without God in our lives, we wouldn’t be able to do all the things on our checklist and plans we have for our future…

This is a long introduction for pictures… but here are some taken of ate My. She’s going to be such a great mama! These are some of my favorites!
