The Holiday Season is the busiest time of the year for portrait photographers. We’re doing everything from family photos, children photos, Christmas cards and Holiday Cards, to photo presents, frames, canvas prints, and albums……..it’s CRA.ZY….and all before the Holidays! For some reason, this year seems to have caught everyone by surprise with its sheer speed,...

Jade • Sweet Sixteen Photographer Miami

I’ve written time and time again about the heat during summer photo sessions. Although September doesn’t really qualify as summer, I was so relieved when Jade decided to postpone her session until November (when the weather gets a little better) so she wouldn’t melt in the heat. Thank goodness for that as everything was absolutely...

Stylish Zoe • children baby photographer miami

I’ve noticed something very interesting lately while photographing babies and children: Â their clothing is so much cooler and stylish and comfortable than adult clothing. Am I wrong? Seriously, some of the coolest jeans I’ve seen have been on 3 year olds and Miss Zoe’s top in this session was so cute that I think...

Image of the Week • Miami Newborn Baby Photographer

Cuddly. Twisty. Gorgeous. Perfect. Caleb! Isn’t he delicious? After having done beautiful Mommy’s maternity session, I couldn’t wait to meet her bouncing baby boy. He was as perfect as a baby can be. Mommy didn’t want to be in any of the shots, even though she looked amazing already (less than a week after birth),...

Worthy Miranda • newborn baby photographer miami

I love this sweet baby’s name…Miranda. It means “worthy of Admiration” which, I think you’ll agree, totally befits her. She was absolutely divine. The lovely tenderness with which Mommy and Daddy hold their precious bundle is sublime…pure love. One of my favorite things to photograph is the contrast of size between babies’ and adults’ hands....

Thank You…

A year ago I went to visit my good friend and fantastic photographer Aris Wells in Greensboro, North Carolina. I was going through a very turbulent time in my life that necessitated a withdrawal from my surroundings. I called Aris and told her I needed to get away….without hesitation she extended me an invitation to...

I mean, really?!?!? Does it get any cuter than this? This is just perfection. Her lips, her eyes, the dimples in her elbows, the rolls on her wrists….goodness. This is too stinkin’ cute. I swear I have THE best job in the world. I photographed big sister Naomi back in October and now I got...

Max’s Debut • baby photographer miami

About four months ago, I did Max’s newborn session at home with Mommy. He was a total champ….slept when we needed him to and gave me amazing shots. I always blog ALL sessions usually a week or two after the session. So, after we wrapped up this session, where Max is now 4 months, I...

Image of the Week • Children Pumpkin Photos Miami

A couple of days before Halloween I got to photograph this little guy at a pumpkin patch in Miami Lakes. He was thrilled and unstoppable! Tristan did not pause for longer than 8 seconds at any given time, so it was a great exercise physically and photographically (a moving subject and changing light in each...

Timely Time • Children Photographer Miami

As a location photographer, you are particularly attune with time….what time you have the best light, what time sunset is, how early/late can we start/end a session, etc. As a baby and child photographer, time takes yet another dimension as you actually see time pass you by through the lens as you document your clients’...
