Thank you for stopping by today. I am really excited to now offer Gift Certificates. I believe giving someone the gift of a professional portrait session is high up there on the list of awesome gifts. It could be a birthday gift, a baby shower gift or just a “i love you” gift. I am really happy to now be able to provide new and old clients with this neat little personal gift. If this is something that you are interested in, please contact me for more information on how this works and please share this with friends/family.

Thank you, Adele  XOXO

I just wanted to remind you that I am now blogging on a different blog too. 2011 will be my first year shooting Engagements and Weddings full time. I am really excited about this journey.

I just wanted to let you all know I now have a Wedding Blog Adele Cabanillas | Weddings separate from Abigail Reese Photography. I would like to keep Abigail Reese Photography for my Children and Family work. So if you are in the mood to see some of my Wedding work head over to my other blog HERE. Please stop for a second and say hi, I am always curious who peeks in.

Thank you,

Jeremy and Natasha wanted some pictures done, and we did a “Trash the dress” without the trashing of the dress. So maybe it’s a day after session. Also not really because when these Images were taken, they have  already been married for over a year. I guess this session can’t really be labeled. The only thing I can say about this day is, these two were great. They were so willing to do whatever I told them to. I have sweet memories of them.

Ps. I almost forgot to mention. This was my first session with a Tilt-Shift. I also never used it again after this, until  now. #Weird.

Thank you to Eugene and Vanessa for having such an amazing wedding and welcoming me to be apart of their beautiful day.

M.C is exactly 17 months older than me, we grew up on a farm and fortunately or unfortunately our interests were like night and day. M.C loves the bush, he was born to be in the field. Me on the other hand, I loved artsy things, not getting my hands dirty and not getting along with dust so much. *blush* I am/was a horrible farm girl.

Today M.C is my mother’s right hand, in fact I think he is more than her right hand. They work together and have a very successful potato farming business. On top of that, M.C has his own Semi Truck transport business, and a Hunting Safari business. Phew that’s way more than what I can juggle. M.C I know I am your little sister, but I am so proud of what you have accomplished in such a short period of time. Know, that no matter where I am in life, I admire you and love your more than you will ever know.

So the story continues when M.C met Leani. M.C + Leani = Loves the bush. Sister owns a camera and photographs the wedding in the bush. See ……… Perfect!! That’s the short version.

Leani you looked beautiful, your dress suited you perfectly. I am so happy that the 2 of you found each other. I hope that marriage is everything you have ever dreamed of. Remember to always love each other like you want to be loved.
