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.

Weekend Photos: Teasers

Tuesday, December 30, 2008

This past weekend was one of the busiest with back to back events and photoshoots :) and I am thankful!

It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed EVERY second of it! I had such a good time, I couldn’t stop thinking about the photos and had a hard time falling asleep because my mind kept replaying the events over and over and over again…

Side note: Another prayer of mine had come true last night: to photograph ministers and their families :). Ryan and I didn’t get home until almost 12 am. We went to the INC Socal District Office in Anaheim right after work to photograph the ministers and their families. I will not be posting these photos up but I just wanted to make a blog note about it because I had such a great time being there with the ministers and their families. The children played Simon Says (it was a simple game, but they had so much fun), some wives and children sang songs, and some of the ministers even prepared a Christian Music Video! I don’t know why, but I was inspired just being around all of them. This was something I just needed… seeing the lighter side of the ministers ;). So thank you po Ka Nel for asking me to photograph the families! It was a blessing po..

I’ll be posting up the events/photoshoots in the following order in a couple of days. For now, I hope you enjoy these four photos from my weekend gigs :)
