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.

Pasadena, California Maternity Portraits : Emelda & Randy

Monday, March 29, 2010

I got a phone call from Emelda, who told me that my friend Michelle, had referred her to us. Emelda is having a baby and she wanted me and Ryan to take her maternity photos so we decided to meet up in Pasadena, California last week looking for the perfect spots around the city for her photo session.

Randy, Emelda’s significant other, also joined us and with these two, we had one memorable session. They are one of the sweetest couples we’ve met and I just love how they were up for anything for the sake of taking some awesome photos – even if it meant dodging cars or sitting in a field of flowers no matter how uncomfortable they felt.. They totally trusted me and my crazy ideas and I just want to thank them for believing in me and Ryan :) I’m looking forward to more photo sessions with them in the future.. most of all I’m looking forward to a lifetime of a new found friendship!

Here are some of my favorites from the session. To view more photos, please click here for the slideshow.

Beautifulness… :o) You wouldn’t think this was taken at the parking lot of the Huntington Botanical Gardens/Huntington Library in Pasadena, CA.
