I just started my business page back up for my photography business on Facebook. I had taken it down a year ago because I was actually thinking of moving into a different field, but instead decided to tackle both fields.
Thought I would drive some traffic to it by advertising, but I guess the monitors at Facebook thought the current images I have up are too pornographic and sent me the below rejection email, LOL!
I suppose the girls I do take photos of could wear just a tiny bit more clothing 
Tony Foxx is a parrot on a Pirate Ship, I mean he plays one at the Treasure Island boat show right outside of the hotel here in Vegas. I have never seen a parrot as cut as he is though, LOL. That long legged chick that’s holding the light above his head is literally twice as tall as he is, and her name is Sara Gayoso. I like taking photos of her more than Tony but it was Tony’s time.
This will be my first posting for 2013. As much as I like Tony, I’d rather be shooting models that look like Sara more than him. Have a wonderful 2013 everyone! Be safe and happy!

Wow, though I haven’t worked with Ysania in about 2 years, she’s still hot as ever! This was a rather quick shoot, she just wanted some photos of herself to put up on Facebook. I ended up using her for my Facebook cover photo as well. Still one of the nicest models I’ve ever worked with. Hope you all like the photos, I’ll post more some time after the new year when I’ve caught up with all the weddings/photo shoots, etc.
Have a wonderful 2013!
My mind is really going, lmao! I did a photo shoot with a family at a park in mid-November 2012, bur for the life of me I can not remember their names! Their little boy (I will call him Giuseppe – I’m 100% sure that’s not his name as I would never forget anyone named that) was cute though, but always wanted to sit on a big boulder. So here are a few images of him and a boulder, and one with his mom and dad
Back in the day, it was much easier to keep my web site up to date, but lately I’ve been traveling to LA for family, weddings, engagements and models to shoot I haven’t had time. I actually couldn’t remember when I did this set with Megan, but I just happen to say the date on the BTS Video seen below (November 12, 2012). I’m still not done with the images so hopefully early next year I’ll get them all done. Enjoy and hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday!
[Date of Actual Photo Session - November 14, 2012]
Since I haven’t really done any high class fashion photography since I was back in DC/NYC, I did a quick set with Belen Uriate. I had worked with Belen two other times prior and she always looked amazing and today was no different. What’s funny about this session is that I literally had to trick her to do the shoot by saying I was moving away, and it worked!
There were two other sets to this photography session, but again it’s the holidays and I’m trying to catch up so those images will be up later this year or early next year.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season!

Photo Shoot with Model Sara Gayoso from Michael Perez on Vimeo.
Sara definitely is one of the nicest models I’ve had the pleasure to work with in 2012. The first time we worked together was somewhat awkward. We were in a semi secluded location and I could tell she felt uncomfortable being there just with me. Luckily for us as night fell, a biker gang arrived and I told her that if they attacked us, I knew I ran faster than her and that she was on her own 
Have gotten to know her a little bit since then and she is fabulous! Hopefully will get to work with her in 2013! Enjoy the images and video found on this page
I don’t know exactly how I became friends with Victoria on Facebook but somehow I started a conversation with her about doing a photo shoot with her family and it turned into a model portfolio development shoot instead which was perfectly fine by me.
On October 28, she and her friend Vanessa arrived at my condo/home studio to do a session. When she got out of her car, I could not believe she had three kids! I mean there was this girl that weighed less than 100lbs. I guessed 95lbs and she stated she was actually 98lbs.
She admitted to me that this was her first photo shoot, but nevertheless she did very well. Hoping to work with her again in the future.
On the 18th of this month (October 2012), I scheduled to do a couples shoot with Angela Wyman and Steve Moorman. Angela is an actress, singer and dancer that can be seen on advertising for Gold Gate Casino in downtown Las Vegas. Steve is a professional poker player who’s the tallest person I’ve met thus far here in Vegas. Due to the sun setting way earlier than I thought, most of the images we got were in the evening though they were great nontheless!
The setting we ended up choosing was the Smith Center of the Performing Arts, which is located in downtown Las Vegas as well. Unfortunately the evening we did the session, they were having an event in the little cubby hole @ the center of the Smith Center where I really wanted to photograph the two of them. We ended up getting images around the facility which is very nice as well, then ended our session in front of the Gold Gate Casino.
Extremely nice couple Hope you all like the photos!
Anayeli De Santiago is a aspiring model, dancer and gymnast. The funniest event that happened at our photo shoot though, was her standing behind a palm tree branch and just falling for no apparent reason Great girl with a ton of potential. Hope to work with her again. Images from our shoot are below.

So while waiting for the models to arrive and get ready for a photo shoot I had scheduled @ Palazzo Hotel in Las Vegas, I decided to get to the strip an hour or so early to take some photos at night. Some of the images I got are below, the photographs of the models will be released in the next few weeks, lol!
