Fulfilling Your Dreams + Living | Kayla De Brito

I hate when I haven't blogged in a while, simply because I feel as if I have so much to say and I just haven't found the opportunity to send my message to my readers...

My blog is designed to express who Julian Moniz is, Through what I photograph and through my experiences.  It is not just a portfolio of my work but also a semi-personal journal of my life...Blogging is so much fun to me, you can also check out my mini feeds from my facebook page or my twitter so feel free to add me or follow me :)

I read this quote and it truly inspired me..."The possibility of fulfilling a dream is what makes life interesting."

 ... Just think about that...You have a dream, a vision of what you want out of life or who you want to become.  So what do you do?  Do you sit around and settle, hoping that it will knock on your door???  NO, you get off your butt and you attempt to fulfill your dreams and goals and you don't let anything or anyone stand in your way!  LIFE is FULL of challenges (ones you should never back down from) lessons to learn, blood, sweat, pain and tears.  But it is also full of laughs, love, success, praise, gratitude, beautiful moments and tears of absolute joy.  Becoming aware of all of these is what living is all about...Life is a journey, with no guaranteed place of arrival.  The ups and downs and the winding roads are part of the excitement that is life....So go all out, and LIVE...fulfill your dreams and do what you want to do...Take advantage of opportunities, enjoy it and learn from it.  REMEMBER, the results completely depend on YOU!!!  You are in total control of your life.  You have the ability to create who you want to be, so start creating!  

"LIFE IS NOT ABOUT FINDING YOURSELF, IT'S ABOUT CREATING YOURSELF."  

Strive to achieve your dreams & I promise Life will be very very interesting. 

I'm mixing this post with some photos for a beautiful young lady I photographed.  Kayla De Brito...A Portuguese singer who entered a contest and WON!!!  Her prize...A record, fully produced.  So she asked me to photograph her for her album...I thought it would be awesome to help her out and here are a few of my faves...Congrats Kayla, I know you will be GREAT!

If you have any comments please let me hear it... :)

Toronto Engagement Photos - Melissa & Bryan - E session

Melissa & Bryan...

What an awesome time we had in the POURING rain...The shoot started off perfectly in front of the elementary school they attended together...I had to get them to warm up a bit in front of my lens but they eventually cracked and loosened up.

Right when we were at our final location...the rain started to POUR.  And to top it off we were right next to the road and as cars drove by we got soaked thanks to the puddle right next to us.

Mel & Bryan I hope you had an awesome experience...I can't wait until your big day :)))





I love how cute Mel's reaction is here...







And the very last shot of the day...HAS to be a fun one...

Toronto DJ + Toronto Photographer Team Up - Both Destination Bound | Joe Ghost

First, allow me to say how awesome I feel right now.  I just got word that I won a contest for a photo I entered into the Totally Rad Dirty Pictures contest (click the link to check out the entry).  I am extremely pumped because it is the first photo contest I submitted something to and the first one I won.  :))))  Totally Rad is so Awesome.  I won a $250 gift card to Apple and the privilege of being featured on their blog.

And now Ladies & Gentlemen, Joe Ghost.  The Toronto Native DJ is looking to take the world by storm with his latest project.  The man has some serious talent.  Check out Joe Ghost's Website to see and hear what he has going on.

I love this guy, when we met up to talk about his vision for the shoot I shot some ideas his way and we just connected on the exact same wave length...Once we got on location he Rocked it and we had a blast.  We shot in 3 different locations, each one with a particular image in mind to reflect his brand and how he wants himself to be perceived.

The photos were taken for his Electronic Press Kit, His website re-launch and upcoming releases So stay tuned for the latest on Joe Ghost...

Ghost...I hope you like the pics and I look forward to working with you in the near future my man...

I was going for some Vintage, timeless looks with this project...here are a few of my faves...

Enjoy
