Continued Professionalism...


As many of you know, Jen and I strive to improve ourselves and our skills with all new technology and techniques. We not only participate in local and online training but we also surround ourselves with others in the photography profession to learn from their mistakes and successes. Since the launch of our business and site Jen and I have become members of several well known professional photography organizations and education groups. I myself am a proud member of NAPP (National Association of Photoshop Professionals) and I strive to teach myself something new on a daily basis. JBenito Photography is also registered with the PPA (Professional Photographers of America). I have also recently gone back to school to complete a degree program in Graphic Design and Multimedia so that I can stay on top of all of the new and innovative technology and editing techniques and applications available to photographers. To top it off we are both currently completing a certification program through the NYIP (New York Institute of Photography) to improve and update our current photography certifications and training.
I hope you are able to see that we strive to provide the best services and techniques and make your experience with JBenito Photography a pleasant one. We truly strive to provide you with images you dream of................

Picture Party...............


A friend of ours, Naomi Wendell recently hosted a picture party for her "Mommy and Me" club in El Centro. We were able to take pictures of over 6 different families and plenty of kids. I must admit it was a new environment for me. I know Jen is used to taking pics of kids, but I am not that familiar with it, besides photographing my children. In all honesty though, it was very fun and we had a great time. So if you get a chance stop on by and check out our pics.........

Mann Wedding


Wow, so we finally got to shoot our first out of State wedding. On November 21st we hit the road and traveled to Las Vegas to shoot a wedding on top of the Stratosphere. It was a very long day and night but we had a great time. Lighting like always, could have been better but I think we were able to get good prints of all of our images. I am still editing, mostly because of harsh lighting conditions but I know our final edits will all look amazing........ Matt and Lisa had a great time with friends and family and the ceremony itself was short and sweet.
After the wedding we all walked around the Stratosphere, got on the "Top of The World" ride (Matt, Tony and I) and then piled in our cars and went out to dinner. After dinner we took some couples pictures of the happy couple and then headed off to a Las Vegas Show. I must say, not bad for one days work........
