Generally speaking, Communion portraits tend to be really serious and somewhat gloomy if you ask me. A First Communion is a beautiful rite of passage that is truly a happy occasion in the Catholic community. As such, I prefer really natural, upbeat, genuine portraits with lots of sweetness and smiles. Bianca’s Mom felt the same...

Revilla Law Firm • Executive portraits Miami Photographer
A few weeks ago I photographed the attorneys and staff of Revilla Law Firm at their offices. A total of nine people in a little over two hours including background and lighting set-up and breakdown. In their case, the images will be used for the firm’s website and online publications. If you’re interested in photographing...
Senior Fashionista • Senior Portrait Photographer Miami
Isabella is a seriously fashionable graduate who will be off to college in a couple of months. I’ve been photographing her brothers since they were all newborns, and her (on and off) since she was 11 years old. How time has flown! Isabella has truly blossomed and, I know, is making Mom and Dad very...
Power Princess • Dream Quince Photos Miami
Smart, funny and original…that’s Caitlin. Hers was a fantastic Dream Quince session in every way, although it was actually 16! When planning her shoot, we spoke about her favorite video games – which have powerful kick-butt princess characters – not exactly the typical princess image little girls are obsessed with lately. This was totally up...
And 1 makes 4 • Miami Maternity Photographer
A few weeks ago I got a message from Sharon with the great news – she was expecting another baby! I hadn’t seen them since we did Eddy Jo’s first birthday session a year ago. He’s so big! As usual, Sharon selected great colors for this shoot and was absolutely glowing. We chatted and got...
Tomas & Family • Family Children photographer Miami
You’ve seen Tomas and his whole family on the blog a few times…click here and here if you haven’t and are curious. Now, he’s is all grown up and ridiculously adorable! He was not in the mood for pictures, or pausing, or anything other than eating and playing – as expected. Needless to say, it was...
Joyful Giuliano • lifestyle kids photographer miami
I dare you to look at these photos and not smile! Giuliano is the smiliest little guy I’ve photographed in a long long time. And what a smile he has too, it’s contagious! You’ve seen this family a few times on the blog because we were doing Giuliano’s 1st year Chichi Baby Collection. This was...
Family Resource Center of South Florida • Executive Portrait Photographer Miami
Dr. Oren Wunderman of Family Resource Center of South Florida came to the studio for a formal and business-casual executive portrait to be used on their website and materials. He worked the colors of his organization into his outfit which were enhanced by the red background. We did the two looks and a handful of...
Hungry Noelle • Miami Newborn Photographer
Eating her hands, eating mommy’s arm, finger, shoulder….you name it. All Noelle wanted to do was eat! She slept for maybe twenty minutes in five minute spurts out the full two-hour session. Yet, when Mom placed her in the wooden cradle that’s been in her family for generations, she completely calmed down. Here’s a snippet...
Nothing but love • Miami lifestyle children photographer
Yes, it was nothing but love for these kids. Really lovely watching how much they genuinely cared about and loved each other. My favorite is the last shot where Briana and Brody are looking into the window to see if there was a monster in there. In case you’re wondering, there wasn’t…just sayin’. LOL There...
