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.

Portraits : Veneracion & Galang Family

Friday, October 16, 2009

Whoever said Facebook (FB) was a waste of time is wrong! It was through FB that I got a message from Jen asking if I had time to take some family portraits for her family…. uhhh… Totally! Even though it’s been a crazy busy year.. I would have made time for them no matter what!! They are such a beautiful family, I didn’t want to miss an opportunity to photograph them!

Ryan and I drove to Montclair to meet up with the Veneracion and Galang family last Sunday afternoon at their home. They decided that Downtown Claremont would be the perfect place for their portraits! They were right! I love getting suggestions where to take photos! Now I have another favorite location spot!

Here are some of my favorite photos from that day! To view more please click here to view the slideshow!

Beautiful Family: Jen and Ram and baby Mia.

I know I do this shot ALL THE TIME, but it’s my favorite “must-squish-baby-face-with-kisses pose” during family portraits!
