Red and Silver at My Best

So this is the 3rd and final tree at Dwight and Bobby's house for their Christmas party. I have to say this was the most fun to do because Dwight had his brothers and sister-in-law over to put things on the tree. They had an Elvis Christmas CD playing in the background and they all sang along with Elvis. You could feel the Christmas spirit. I worked my magic on top of the tree and we all put any and everything red and silver that they had on the tree. It turned out so beautiful and the Christmas party was a big hit. I am really glad I was able to bring joy into your home for the Holidays.

Elegant Christmas Tree

This was a small but classy tree. I really enjoyed working on this tree for Monique. We went shopping for some new things for the tree this year. We stopped by a few of my favorite stores for silk flowers, fruits, ribbons, and a tree skirt. Monique was with me the whole time to make sure she would sign off on everything I picked out for her beautiful tree. While I worked she made me a few glasses of sweet tea and had Ellen playing on TV. Love that Ellen! Once I had the tree done I worked on a violin that she had and I gave it a make over. She loved both the tree and violin. I was so glad that she did. But when it became night time, Monique and Ginette noticed that with the colored lights on the tree you could not see the details and colors of the flowers. So she picked up some white lights, fishing wire and tacks. I came back a few days later and hung some Christmas balls, with a few ribbons and white lights around the tree. Wow when I was done I felt so good. It turned out beautiful. I would like to wish Monique and her family the very best this Christmas.

My Christmas Tree

So here is were it all began for me this year and I knew I had something going for me. I love purple and went with lime green and silver to complement the purple. I made sure that I was alone at home when no one was around. My family went to church and when they came home the tree was done. My mother has decorations from when my brother Danny and I were little babies. I knew that if she was there she would make me put up all the old decorations, but this year she had no control and I knew if I did the tree without her she would love what I came up with. And she did! Everyone that comes over asks who did you tree and now my mother brags about it. I knew she would love it as well as everyone else that sees it. Well Rivera Family, enjoy the tree, Christmas and New Years. Much love, Yram.

Angelic Tree

This was a tree that was easy for me to do. Richie, Kayla and their 3 boys already had these beautiful angels with gorgeous gold and blue decorations for their tree. I had my vision with great stuff to work with. I had the boys help me with the tree to make them feel a part of the decorating. They had a blast, but as we went on one by one they started to fall asleep, very cute I must say. When I was finally done Richie and Kayla could not believe what I had done with what they already had. They loved it and were so very happy and thankful for what I had done for them. With that said, I wish you and your beautiful family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2010.

Feeling a lot like Christmas!

Here you will see my fun, over-the-top side as Bobby and Dwight let me go to town with over 3,000 lights on the tree, which after we were done, I turn around and half of the tree was out. Can I say OMG! But Bobby helped me fix the problem which was not such a big deal , thanks to me getting shocked. I loved what Dwight and Bobby picked out for colors. They went with green and silver with a few glass snowmen and peacocks. I had such an amazing time working on their tree. Christmas music was playing at all times which made everything go so well. After I worked on the big green and silver tree, I moved to the smaller 4 foot tree in the hall way. They had these small, very cute Rudolph claymation ornaments that I had to put to use. So I went with blue and silver on the small tree. So cute. I made the topper myself. The last thing I worked on was the bathroom centerpieces in the same color as the small Christmas tree, blue and sliver. I hope you enjoy them Dwight, Bobby, and Isabella.

Festive Christmas Decor!

I have to say this was a fun one for me to be a part of. Carlos and his family just moved into their new place. So what was great is that they had a clean slate. I got together with Carlos and his mom and we looked at what they had. They had the most beautiful colored Christmas stuff already so I was able to build on that. I started on the tree 1st and foremost. I took white lights and I wrapped the trunk of the tree, I then took the multi-colored lights and spiraled them down on the outside of the tree. I then hung cute little disco balls around to top of the tree to create a halo. From then I picked different colors to hang around the tree. Once I finished the tree I moved on the the staircase hanging red and green Christmas balls down the banister. Then I worked on the archways in the living room with a wreath above each one alternating the red and green balls. Once I was done with that I worked on the garland above the Christmas tree and went with the colors of the rainbow to make the tree stand out. The last thing I worked on was a Christmas wreath that the family has had for years and I brought it to life with things that were on it already, so I guess you can say I gave it a make over.

Merry Christmas Lori!

This was my third Christmas tree client, Lori. I got to spend some time with her family and went shopping with Lori and her baby boy Robert. I got a feel for how to pick what to use for the tree along with some traditional things she and her family already had. As you can see from the pictures I went with red and sliver. While I was getting everything ready to start on the tree, I made sure to have the baby Robert help me so he could feel a part of the whole experience. I asked Lori to play Christmas music to make everything feel that much more like Christmas, since Christmas is my favorite time of year.

Christmas in November

One of my first clients this season was photographer Ana Cabrera. Her vision was a “Winter Wonderland” theme for the living room. She wanted it light and bright, so it is mostly silver and blue. She already had a lot of traditional ornaments and decor, so the family room is decked out in red and green.

Take a peek at her blog to see my new business headshots: ANA Photo Design
