I was asked to photograph the Miss Brasil USA 2009 Philadelphia pageant this past Sunday. It was held at the 4-Points Sheraton on Rt 1 in the North East section of Philadelphia. There was a great turn out for this fabulous event and it was a great time. Mirella Teles and Lonnie Beck did a great job running the event. Lonnie is co-owner and administrator for Dragon Gym and Mirella, a Philadelphia University Business Administration student (2010) has been involved with the pageant for the past four years. This is her first year running this event, but did an excellent job selling the event out completely and has a lot of experience running parties and other events.

There was a samba performance by Brazil Productions with  4 of their beautiful dancers including a former Miss Brasil Philadelphia pageant winner from 2005 Janaisa Barbosa, along with Erica Saben, Alicia Nascimento and Chigosi Enigwe. Some of the judges were Henrique Rodrigues, Priscilla Costa, Nay Carvalho, Melissa Tarrao and Gabriela Brandt (Miss Brasil USA 2008).

I recently photographed 2 walk-a-thons for blood cancer sponsored by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Eastern Pennsylvania. This society raises money to help cure blood cancer by sponsoring fund raisers through out the year. I’m very excited and grateful to help out such a noble organization. Please help them in anyway you can. Here are some images from these events:

One of the things I like about event photography is the festive atmosphere.  It’s like being at a party with everyone is happy, having a good time and you’re part of it. This year I was fortunate enough to be asked to cover this years Brazilian Carnaval at Chima Brazilian Steakhouse in Philadelphia. If you’ve never been there, you’re really missing something special, they really know how to take care of their customers. Also there were the beautiful dancers from Brazil Productions. What a treat, these girls are beautiful both inside and out and really make you feel like you’re in Rio.
