  Anna Zatopek Photography

I have been taking pictures since I was a little girl. It was what I was meant to do. I love what I do. I can't believe sometimes how lucky I am to get to do what my heart desires! I get to capture moments of pure joy and happiness. It makes me well up when two people join their lives together, when they kiss and when they depart to start on their life path hand in hand. I gasp when I see the sparkle in the eyes of a little girl when she dances with her daddy. When a baby nuzzles into his mommy, it takes my breath away. When a big sister fixes her little sister's hair, I tear up.

All the while, I snap away and marvel at the energy surrounding me. I am a sentimental sap, and I would not be happy doing anything else.

  Lisa Pittman Photography

In my family, photos are a way to reach through the past and rekindle memories and emotions that have long been forgotten. We gather round the kitchen table, lay out stacks of photos and sift through the layers of our lives.

We laugh over my wedding photos (it was the 80's after all...) and get a little misty eyed over others. Most importantly, we make a connection to each other and to our memories. And, that's why I do what I do.

I can promise you that I will treat you and your family or occasion as if they were my own.



  Maria Bernal Photography

Photography is about using light and other surroundings to bring out a person's or an item's best features, that is what I strive for every time I get behind the camera.

I want my clients to be ecstatic when they get their portrait or to be excited at how well their product looks on camera I strive to provide an experience for my clients, one they will never forget and one that keeps them coming back.

I love what I do and I hope that you see that when you look at my work.

Shopping for a home for newlyweds is a difficult task! How in the world can men and women agree on buying a home when they are from such different worlds?

Nil Buan Videography can capture the honest emotions and candid moments of your wedding day for all time.

I have always found the element of spontaneity very fascinating. Therefore in my work I try to stay as inconspicuous as possible, and allow the event to unfold naturally. I utilize natural lighting as much as possible and maintain a respectful distance. I believe that comfort breeds honesty in emotions and articulations. The candid and unguarded moments provide a peek into one's soul and these are the moments that I seek to capture. In between the hugs and laughter that come with friendship and family there is much to celebrate on a wedding day.

It is my hope that you bask in the glory of yours.

Sincerely, Nil Buan Videography

The Hills Medical Group offers a medically supervised weight loss program geared for the patient that needs to lose weight fast but wants to do so safely and permanently. Our expert weight loss team will work with each person individually to reach their specific weight loss goals.

Our approach to weight loss is a combination of the expertise of our doctors and a revolutionary hormone therapy combined with a very specific diet. Our doctors and our helpful staff will work together with you to insure that you meet your weight loss goals! We have access to the newest and most recent research using HCG. This amazing hormone targets the hypothalamus and combined with calorie restriction results in substantial weight loss (.05 to 3 lbs daily) but also works to reset your metabolism so that your “set point” is permanently lower.

Over 85% of patients never gain the weight back!

Call today for your free consultation!.

Let us help you Live a Healthier Lifestyle
