image of the week • miami photographer seniors

this sweetly beautiful high-school senior (who is also an artist in her own right) was an anomaly in that she gave me amazing images from the first shots of her session. usually the first 5 or 10 minutes of a session –where the subject is over the age of eight– are useless since everyone gets...

all in the family • miami family photographer

this has become one of my favorite sessions of this year. why? well, because I rarely get to photograph big families and much less families with older kids! I don’t know why this is the case, but most parents are really into the family pictures when the children are small yet, they don’t realize how...

image of the week • miami baby photographer

this little ball of cheese is Carlitos, otherwise known as “Caquito” which is what big sister Sophia believes sounds like his name. He was so great in his session, laughing on cue, staying put wherever the crazy lady with the big black box hanging on her neck put him. This was one of my favorites,...

happy “thanks”giving

image of the week

ideally every photographer loves bright sunny days for photos, but one can’t always have it all, specially with our wonderfully unpredictable Miami weather. this day was absolutely gorgeous until 15 minutes after we started the session, yet the light was still beautifully creamy lending itself to very dramatic images, which are always a welcomed artistic...

image of the week | miami baby photographer

This happy, smiley baby is Alexa Grace; so sweet Mom had no problem bringing out smiles for the session. Her older sister Sophia is a little more serious and rarely smiled in her sessions yet, If their personalities weren’t so different, I would have sworn that Alexa is her sister’s clone because she looks exactly...

what a pair | miami children photographer

introducing…Matthew and Cameron! This the third time I photograph this hilarious pair and it’s always such fun. Their personalities are so different. They’re sweet, astute and naturally funny. This time we kept it very casual and relaxed and did the session at their home. They jumped around, rode their bikes, played with their dogs and...

beautiful nicole | miami photographer seniors

this was the very first gorgeous day of winter last week and I was thrilled at being outside in 74° weather! Nicole is such a cool grad…she started out shy and warmed up to the camera so nicely that I just kept shooting way past sundown. Nikky you are one beautiful and fabulous girl; and...
