There are few industries in which its professionals are more aware of the importance of polished portraits than in the real estate industry. A friendly, inviting, professional image can inspire confidence, lend credibility and convey commitment, the results of which can be immeasurable. Irina is an up-and-coming realtor that clearly understands that. We did a half hour shoot in the studio, which allowed for a little warm-up time, tried a couple of different set-ups and voila! Got the image she will use in all her materials. If you’ve been considering it but hesitating, don’t wait any longer. This is a very important, powerful, intangible weapon everyone should have in their arsenal, especially in today’s world of social media centered marketing and networking. Don’t wait any longer, call the studio for details. 305-254-5084

This fantastic lady is Rebecca, the mastermind behind Kollaras Communications, a solutions-based public relations firm located in Miami Shores. She needed executive portraits that reflected her personality and conveyed confidence, character and style. She sent me a few samples of what she was looking for and two weeks later we got together to create her image. Here are a few of the shots from this fabulous shoot. Enjoy! ♥ Vanessa

Whether you’re on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Plaxo, your blog or any other form of social media, your photo IS the first impression they will get of you. It IS your image and quite often THE face of your business. It is as important to your business as a great website or brochure. A professional photograph tells your clients and potential clients that you mean business, that you will take them as seriously as you do yourself. A proper representation of you, your personality, and your business is an intangible asset whose rewards you will reap for many years.

Why not make sure it is the right image? A professional image. Your business headshot or executive portrait can be done in the studio, in an outdoor location or in your business/office. Contact the studio for more information on our Executives Collection or for a quote.

The July/August issue of Venue Magazine, a high-end lifestyle magazine for Latinos living in the United States, is featuring a 6-page editorial spread highlighting the children’s clothing line Catimini and featuring images I created specially for this project. By looking at these photos you might think these kids are professional models, but they aren’t! They are regular “civilians” like you and me, but they did fantastically well. The 2-hour beach shoot went smoothly even with strong winds. I love editorial and commercial photography, so I welcome more of these projects. Can’t wait to do it again.Â

I’ve been working on a website and branding design project that uses the rose as a symbol of love, beauty, humanity, and tenderness. So, there have been some late night rose photo shoots here in the studio, picking just the right rose with the perfect petals and leaves, and at the perfect bloom. This one was a particularly beautiful one…I loved how intricate, intimate, delicate and perfectly entwined her petals are. It was just as magical accepting her invitation to witness her beauty when she opened up in full bloom…absolutely divine. It may be that a rose is a rose is a rose is a rose, as Gertrude Stein said, yet each one had its own sweetness and beauty.Â

This image of  3 year old Samir at the beach is featured in this week’s Tot Trends Weekly magazine cover! This is a weekly online magazine that has very cool info about kids products, parenting and anything tot related.  If you’re not already subscribed to this magazine you should be. I love editorial photography, so there will be more to come… : )Â

For Stefanie’s Quince photo shoot the weather and the day could not have been any better. Except for the mosquitos and noseeums (i don’t know how to spell it) everything went smooth as butter. Her outfits were great, her expressions were natural, and even better, Mom was awesome as well. I don’t need to say much, just take a look. Stefanie you did amazing!

This is my type of Quince photos! Love it! ♥

Some of you already know that I have a line of high-school senior photography (S12 Photos) that’s über cool.

smiling, in my opinion, is one of the most positive things you can do to sprinkle some happiness in your life. in fact, smiling has such a positive vibration that it’s contagious…seriously, have you ever found yourself smiling just because you see someone smiling? well, that was the case with Tina; she just lights up and spreads the joy of smiling. I tried to get some non-smiling shots; you know, the longing, pensive looks to add a little drama to some images and she just couldn’t do it! she’s a smiler and we’re all the better for it. surely baby Skylar will be just as sweet and happy as mommy, big brother Tyler and daddy Billy. Â

Tina is doing pregnancy yoga which you can tell is doing wonders because she even hopscotched at the beach! namaste…. : D

this session was done on one of the cold days we had last week and Mom got the cutest hats for these gorgeous twins Monica and Mario (he was the star of the caption contest). they’re so different and both so sweet. I love taking photos of twins because even as twins the differences in their personalities are so evident it’s amazing. hi Laura…look at your sweeties… : D
