BaBy KiM – Family Session in Vienna

May 30, 2012 by Gabby · 5 Comments

They say I´m good with kids… it may be the years and years of babysitting to get through college or the fact that I have a much younger sister, but whenever a baby gets in front of me I melt away and become an awwwwwwwwwing mess that kids tend to like. Well let me tell you, I was doing a lot of oooing and aweeeeeing when I met Kim…. she was such a doll from the first moment we laid eyes on each other… no suspicious first looks, no downward curbing little mouth… we were cool right away! This little Russian/Ukranian/Hungarian/Romanian princess has truly melt my heart ~~(and made my ovaries crave)~~. HAPPY FIRST Birthday little girl, I´m so happy I got to capture this big milestone in your life!

Yvette, Vitalij…. you are two lucky parents! It was so much fun meeting you guys!

Bikinis & Passports – Lifestyle Session in Vienna

May 28, 2012 by Gabby · 8 Comments

Last week, on a whirlwind trip to Vienna I visited my gorgeous friend Vicky between two shoots (the cool chick behind the fab lifestyle/fashion blog Bikinis & Passports). She took me to an überhip outside resturant/chillout bar by the river Danube, where we chatted about life, love and travels. As we were heading home, the beautiful golden sun was just setting on the horizont and I couldn´t help snapping a few pictures of this extraordinary lady. I met Vicky through the blog world a few years ago and we´ve been friends ever since. (You may remember these shots I took of her last year). I´m so thankful for the internet and all the connections and new friends I got to make through this wonderful medium. It´s the coolest thing to know that I have a couch to crash and a friend waiting with open arms in almost all countries of Europe. Euro life (and especially my friends) rock!

Vicky u´re stunning, I die for your cute freckles and killer style and I cannot wait the day I can photograph your wedding! ;D C U SOON!!!!

May is Full

May 22, 2012 by Gabby · 1 Comment

On last Saturday´s wedding with the gorgeous Olivia and her new hubby Krisztian… so cannot wait to edit their wedding pix!!!

May was the month I was most looking forward to all winter long! It´s full of weddings, shoots, travels (Budapest, Barcelona, Paris, Vienna), amazing couples and work work work. It is the month I´ve been the busiest since I decided to become a photographer (which was exactly 2 years ago this month…. I can´t believe it´s been that long already!!!???) and I honestly couldn´t enjoy this crazy busy time any more! I try to keep up with blogging at least 3 times a week, but if I don´t manage I´ll keep you updated on all my other social media outlets like my Facebook, Twitter and Instagram! I hope your month is going as great as mine. Kisses from Hungary!

Poppy Field Wedding Shoot | Wedding Photographer Barcelona

May 18, 2012 by Gabby · 4 Comments

Tania and Ivan has married in the summer of 2011 in an intimate ceremony in Barcelona, Spain. (too bad I didn’t get to be their photographer for the day, but at least we rocked out a post wedding session!!! ) You could say that they have fallen in love with the whole wedding experience as Tania has decided to become a wedding planner right after and Ivan could easily pass for a pro model after all the fun wedding themed shoots they have done together.

Hand in hand with Tania we have planned a poppy field after wedding shoot in the sunset, in a field close to Barcelona for the beginning of May, complete with a picnic and lots of fun props courtesy of Tania & Wedding Dreams!

Doing a session on a poppy field was one of those shoots that I have on my bucket list of amazing wedding sessions I wanna do, and I couldn’t be more happy with how these came out… Tania and Ivan were great great models and it’s so refreshing to meet a guy who loves to pose for my camera! (and I mean loooooooove) Thank you Tania and Ivan for an amazing afternoon and the beautiful styling for this shoot! I hope you love these images as much as I do!

Run Baby Run!

May 16, 2012 by Gabby · 6 Comments

OK, I have a confession to make… I’ve always thought that people who wake up early in the morning to go running are nuts!!! Guess what… I became one of them!

Running has always been one of those things that I’d have loved to do, if only I wouldn’t hate doing it so much… yep, cry me a river right? Long story short I quit my gym last month due to my crazy summer schedule and I started running 4-5 times a week. I’ve really surprised myself when slowly but surely I started to fall in love with it! The first few times have been kinda horrible, I’d run for a minute, than walk for 2, but the amazing thing is that every time I go, I feel myself improving! I can run longer, faster and I feel that I’m getting stronger! (Yesterday I ran a 5k without stopping… ME!!!) Every time I go for a run I set myself a goal where I’d want to run and I just go… so far I haven’t been to the same place twice, which makes it exciting, challenging and never boring, plus it allows be to discover a lot of cool places I never knew existed. It’s the perfect workout for my crazy hectic gypsy life as I can do it anywhere, anytime. Running became my release, my time to think, to plan my day and just relax and enjoy the outdoors! I love the feeling I get after finishing… I’m pumped, energized and happy.. and I haven’t even started my day yet!

I can’t believe all those years I was wishing I was a runner… If only I had just got up and gone… it’s real easy to wish we were someone else, we’d do something else, we’d be somewhere else, in our personal life as much as in our professional lives. The funny thing is that we could be… JUST DO IT! A year from now you’ll be wishing you started today… DO IT!

P.S: If you think it’s weird that I take pictures of myself running, I agree (~~but I like it~~)!!! I have this clever iPhone app (Runtastic) that tracks all my runs and asks me to snap a picture of all of them. This way I keep myself accountable and can look back proudly of what I’ve achieved, so why not?
