Family Photos with Bast Creative!

This week, a friend of mine did something amazing. He took some family photos for us. Sure, anyone can use a camera, right? Hmm... no. Not in the way he did. Luis Basurto is an incredibly creative guy. Thus, he has started his own business, Bast Creative. He has degrees in Communication Design. And he is quite passionate about it. He loves it! And now he is finally branching out. Finally sharing his talent outside of his day job. 

He was incredibly patient. Setting up a time that worked with everyones schedule was tricky, but he made it work. We chose an evening and a destination, Hemisphere Park. He brought the gear, I brought the family.


He also captured my family as we are, and not as people think we should look for those "family pictures". You know the kind. Where everyone is stiff, posed, and "perfect". I'll be the first to admit, those pictures might look nice, but they aren't real. With four kids, it can be difficult. And chances of getting it just right are very slim. Luis let us do our own thing. And what came from it, was beautiful! It is us. 

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, these pictures tell our story. They show us, just as we are. I highly recommend Luis Basurto at Bast Creative. For photography, for design. He does it all. And he does it well. Check out his website here. He is also on Facebook. And don't hesitate to tell me what you think!

AdoramaPix review and discount information

Photo gifts are the best, in my opinion. They can be made for anyone, for any occasion. They can be created to fit your needs and can come in the shape of just about any object imaginable. AdoramaPix has become a favorite for ordering photo gifts. I recently ordered a 9.5 x 11" Hexagon-shaped metalprint from them as a review opportunity since I’m a member of the US Family Guide mommy bloggers group. These are a starting price of $42.

I love metal prints. They are sturdy, last forever, don’t fade like a picture, you don’t have to worry about them getting moisture damage in a frame… Just overall, a great gift idea.
And with AdoramaPix, it came with a mini level as well as wooden hanging framing to better hang it. 
They have some cool ideas when it comes to using these for decorating. I got an awesome space photo for mine.
In the future I’d like to expand the scene with more. Shipping was quick too. They sent it on the 17th and it arrived on the 21st.

Below is information from them as well as the discount information!

AdoramaPix helps people turn their digital photographs from abstract computer files into beautiful keepsakes designed to last a lifetime. Their contemporary metal prints capture memories in rich color and vibrant detail. Because your images are infused right into the metal, and not painted on the surface, their metal prints are extremely durable. Not only will your metal image be water and weather proof, but scratch resistant as well. You can even clean it with glass cleaner. Your memories deserve to live in true, archival luxury with AdoramaPix metal prints.
