Joanna Garcia Photography Blog bio picture
  • Welcome to my blog!

    Everything happens for a reason! At least that is how it feels to me! :)
    Photography came easy to me, an outlet for my "social butterfly" personality to come out. It started in high school and continued in college. I'm blessed to say that I can call this my career. Something I truly enjoy.

    Thank you for stopping by and visiting my blog. A place where I post weddings, portrait sessions and recount personal anecdotes as well.

Fall in NYC

It’s been almost two months since I made the move to NYC. It’s been everything and more then what I imagined. Every corner that I turn I see something interesting, a new smell, an up-and-coming restaurant. I can hear the traffic and laughter on the

street from people walking on my block from my window. A complete 180 from what I was used to in suburbia.

Thankfully my brother was one of my first visitors! We explored the city and I loved seeing him! He is a junior at Dartmouth University and I couldn’t be more proud of all of his accomplishments! Here we are at Central Park!

Ashley and I have done as much as we can. We went to our first Yankees game in the Bronx!

And when the Texans were in town to play against the New York Jets we were there too! We made some pretty cool friends!

The weather has been great so far. We visited Queens County Farm Museum and I took some great Fall photos! Of course we had our own mini photoshoot. The lighting was really good with the farm as the back ground.

Thanks to Ashley for taking this photo of me!

Friends very dear to my heart have visited and I couldn’t have felt happier to show them this city! They brought “home” to me at least for the weekend!

Gisela and I at Top of the Rock!

There are more photos to come! If you’ve never visited NYC I suggest you do it soon!

Chasing 10 year old dreams…

It’s never to late to do what you always wanted to do!! Ever since I can remember I wanted to move to New York City and work at a magazine. There was never one in particular, but I always envisioned myself in the BIG apple! Over the last year and a

half I have been working on my master’s in Digital Media and part of the curriculum is an internship! After much prayer and sending out several applications my dream came true! I landed an internship at Maxim Magazine. Never question why things happen in a certain way, just leave it in God’s hands! He will always take care of you and boy did he take care of me! I couldn’t be more grateful to be where I am now and accomplishing my goals!

What does this mean for you? I know that’s what you are thinking! There is always the option of you making the trip to New York in the fall for some beautiful portraits in Central Park!!:)

Once December comes I’ll graduate and only time will tell where I may end up. Maybe here in NYC or back in Houston! It’s exciting not knowing the plan! After so much planning I’m going to see where this new adventure leads me! Here’s to new memories!

NEW YORK!! NEW YORK!!

This is what I probably looked like when I found out!:)Actually I was in shock for a while and it didn’t get real until I started packing!

Ashley, my roommate, captured these shots of me in Central Park, my favorite spot in the city! I’m absolutely in love with this city!

Rockefeller Center! I work one block away on Madison! Sometimes I have lunch at the plaza! Yes, I’m truly blessed!

My family visited recently and it was wonderful! I had never gone so long without seeing them.:)

Mom and I at Central Park!

Visiting Lady Liberty!

I’ll be posting more NYC photos! YAY!
