another repeat offender shoot! ;)

Sakura and I had no idea really what we were going to do for this shoot lol only that we were given the opportunity to shoot at the historic Hialeah Park, which is a historical landmark...you have to pull a lot of strings to be able to set foot there, let alone photograph there!

This was my first official shoot as "Beautiful Garbage Photography"...before I had been going by "Photography by Desiree..."

She showed up in costume and we just let the surroundings guide the shoot...Sakura was 15 weeks pregnant here, and I think her face has a nice little glow to it! lol

this was my first ever "photoshoot" as you can surely tell by the quality of the photos lol Sakura volunteered to be a part of my first series of photos (that actually launched the whole "me photographing people" thing) which I called "Confessions"...basically people just writing their secrets, dreams, etc. on themselves and letting me photograph them. my original idea was that the people's faces would not be showing, though for almost every photo from this series that is not the case =)

Sakura got pregnant around this time, give or take a week, and I'd like to think this shoot might have had something to do with the conception ;) seeing as her boyfriend Andrew was sitting in on the shoot the whole time! lol
