Our Belize! Real Fun! Real Vacation Photography!

Posted on July 13, 2012 by Olivera Rusu

The concept of the entire photoshoot was to remember Belize the way it is for them!

The Bolzle family call Belize their second home. They live in USA, but they have their “winter house” right here on our island. Lynn is a what I call a “hero” mom. She have 4 kids and A LOT of patience! Last year I photograph the kids for first time and I can say was a total success.

This year, same story, different story. Lynn is asking me for a family photoshoot. All 6 of them. Lynn wanted some formal photos. I knew I need to do it very fast as 4 kids (ages between 2 and 7) are getting bored extremely quick… and I was so right. After 20 minutes of family photos the kids were so done. So, I changed the pattern… ”OK, guys, POOL TIME“! The mom & Dad weren’t so sure about this… but the kids, definitely YES!

I wanted to capture Belize the way it is for them, with the sea and the beach, with their pool… with their real fun and with what Belize offer them when they are here! And that was FUN! Real Fun, Real Vacation!

For many of us, this is Belize and much more!

I couldn’t decide which photo to make the cover, so I designed 2 covers (they’ll pick their favourite). I also inserted few double spreads of photos from Belize .

Vacation Photography: Turneffe Islands, Belize

Posted on July 27, 2011 by Olivera Rusu

This is Vacation Photography by me, A day at Turneffe Islands, Belize – a day can definitely be your day. If you can imagine a perfect day in the perfect place, this is it! You don’t have to search anymore.

Our day start with leaving Cayo Espanto at 10 am. Everyone was ready and eager to go over the barierr reef. As usual, before leaving anywhere, everyone had their favorite drinks to go… A small group and so much fun. I know this day will be remembered by everyone for the rest of their life as was a day who’s making a difference in your life.

The beauty of Turneffe Island was out of the this world. Is the perfect place to have an unforgettable day! The color of the water, the landscape make your dreams become true and even if you don’t know, you have on your bucket list places to visit, this Paradise.

I won’t take from your time too much by making you read, I’ll leave the photos speak for the trip.

I used a polarized filter so the landscape is not photoshoped and the colors are not saturated. Everything is real, as real you can see in the photos :)

Enjoy and share! This can be your day :)

Vacation Photography at Cayo Espanto

Posted on July 20, 2011 by Olivera Rusu

Cayo Espanto is a luxury private island in Belize… an island make you dream about the best from life…

I won’t waist your time making you read , but long story-short, Cayo Espanto is a place need to be your Bucket List Places to visit at least once in your lifetime. Is a place that impresses me all the time I’m going with the simplicity & luxury combined perfect.

Anyway, my friends I meet last year at the same resort, came back with their families and we meet at Cayo Espanto… I was so happy!

When I reach, everyone just start lunch… they wanted me to capture the spirit of the day and this is what I did.

In the morning, some of them went fishing and capture a humongous fish so this is what they had for lunch. Fish, fresh tropical fruits and many other belizean traditional food. Was simple food, but in same time I feel it very different. Start from the way was displayed, the fantastic setting, the perfect breeze… everything was perfect. After lunch, kids had some fun around the villas, in the pool, of course and one of a sudden everyone decide to go snorkel at Shark Ray Alley. Doesn’t have any sens to tell you how fantastic Belize waters are… but you’ll see it on the photos.

After snorkel, the island staff wait for us with drinks and wet towels to refresh and everyone went to chill. They forced me to put my camera down and join them for dinner… which was one of the best experiences I ever had.

I will keep most of the photos privates for my clients only, but I’ll display few just to have an idea how can be your day here.

Enjoy!
