Hello there! Welcome to a last minute and unplanned post. I took these photos this week and wasn’t really wanting to make a whole blogpost about them. However, I did want to share them still so here we are. I’ve been obsessing over the morning light that spills into my room for a while now but have never gotten the chance to take photos with it until this week. I don’t really have much to say about them so I’ll just let you enjoy! ๐

Happy Wednesday (Addams)!
alien bees, creative portraits, Lori Sandoval Photography, Nikon, portrait photography, self portraits, The Addams Family, Wednesday AddamsHonestly you guys, sometimes ideas just pop into my head and I’m too impatient to find a model and go through the process of scheduling/waiting for the photoshoot to happen. Sometimes, I just have to make things happen by myself. I really couldn’t tell you how or why I thought of turning myself into Wednesday Addams but I did. I’ve always joked that we had a similar demeanor though. If you’ve seen the movies with Christina Ricci, I feel like that portrayal of Wednesday is my spirit animal. Anyway, I just wanted to play around and do something fun. Be sure to let me know what you think!
Maddie’s Graduating!
2014, graduation, graduation portraits, Lori Sandoval Photography, Nikon, nursing, portrait photographyI love that I update my blog once weekly but I love even more when I’m able to post twice a week! Today, I’m here to show you photos from the graduation shoot I had with Maddie last week. We took so many photos, got some chipotle (which is obviously the best part of all of this..) and had so much fun the whole day. We’re super lucky it didn’t rain on us like it was supposed to. I’m super proud of this girl for graduating from nursing school this year! Here’s a few of my favorites from our shoot but you can always check out more on my website at www.lorisandoval.weebly.com. Be on the lookout for this week’s post on Friday!
Shop Indigenous
bohemian, boho, clothing line, fashion, fashion photographer, indigenous, Lori Sandoval Photography, models, Nikon, shop indigenousHey guys! Another midweek post ๐ Today, I am here to tell you about a clothing company that I recently photographed. I actually stumbled across them on Instagram and decided to contact the owner (Lauren) and see if she needed a photographer. It was crazy that she was actually located in San Antonio and happened to be looking into find a new photographer at the time. We exchanged some emails, met up to discuss ideas and then went into our shoot a few weeks later. Our photoshoot definitely got pretty interesting but we had so much fun! Special thanks to all the models and everyone who helped out! And thanks to Lauren for giving me an opportunity to work together with her on this. I can’t wait to have more photoshoots this summer!
Life Update
graduation, Lori Sandoval Photography, musician portraits, musicians, Nikon, Nikon D7000, portrait photography, portraits, sororityHi guys! So… I just graduated! And I’m pretty bummed about it. At first, I was really excited because no more projects, no more stress, no more school… you know. But now that I think about it, I’m bummed because I have no more projects (and not so much bummed about the stress part). School was a good thing for me because it kept me working and in a constant groove of creativity. I’m a little worried about losing that but I’m going to try my best to keep at all my artistic talents even though school is over. That being said, I have been working on editing quite a few photos from recent shoots I had. Back in October, I took photos of my friend Paula Cortez and her band. Of course I had so much to deal with in school at this time so I never got around to editing them. With school being done now, I had the time to work on them. I also photographed two of my good friends for their graduation portraits and the lovely girls of KDChi at Our Lady of the Lake University. Links to my website for each shoot will be down below and for now, here are some previews! ๐ I hope you enjoy!
Familiar Silhouettes
fine art photography, gallery exhibition, Lori Sandoval Photography, Nikon, Nikon D7000, student, Thesis, thesis exhibitionAgain, long time no post. I have a good reason for it though! I have been running around like crazy the past few weeks getting everything finished for my thesis show. It was complete madness and I ran into multiple problems. Nonetheless, I got everything finished and installed in the gallery in time. It was such an awesome and rewarding feeling to see another semester’s worth of hard work completed, but this time on a gallery wall! Today was the last day to see it so if you missed out, your loss! :p But really, there were so many amazing artists in this show that created amazing pieces and it was all definitely worth checking out! If you didn’t get a chance to go, then click here and check out what I had in the show. It won’t be the same experience though (sad face) but I would still love to share my work with you.
Paula Cortez EP Promos
Lori Sandoval Photography, musician portraits, musicians, Nikon, Nikon D7000, Paula Cortez, portrait photographyHey guys! So, with school starting up again and what not it’s been both easy and hard to get into the groove of things. I’m in my last semester of school so I’m about to put all I have into my thesis work for my show at the end of the semester (which you should totally come to.. cough cough). So, in the midst of trying to get organized with all the photos I have, and trust me I have lots, I figured I should probably get to editing the promo shots of little miss Paula Cortez for her new EP! I mentioned this shoot a few weeks ago in another post and just recently Paula was in the studio to record her EP! Be sure and support her when it’s all finished! But in the mean time, enjoy these few photos and click HERE to see more! Thanks for reading ๐ and have a great day!
Maternity Shoot
Lori Sandoval Photography, maternity, Nikon, Nikon D7000, portrait photography, portraitsSo last month, I had the honors of doing Gabby’s maternity photos! For this being my first maternity shoot, I was super excited! It was really hot, as it always is in Texas, but she was a trooper. I’m a little late posting these because just a few days ago, Gabby and Francisco welcomed baby Emma into the world! But, better late than never! Hope you enjoy them and check out more photos from her shoot here!
