Just Because • Miami photography studio

It’s a special birthday…her 21st. This is Patricia, who is quite soulful and centered for such a young woman. Her Mom is a High-School teacher who has been following my Senior photography for a while and thought it would be sensational to commemorate this most exciting of birthdays with a photo session. As you can see, Patrcia’s style is eclectic, flirty, and fun…very feminine; yet, you wouldn’t believe it if I told you that she plays basketball and works at a basketball camp; AND she loves music and converse shoes (which she was wearing with this first dress–my kinda girl). I love contrasting eclectic styles like hers, so I had a blast! We got honked at several times, which comes as no surprise in Miami, and sweated like if we were doing the shoot on the surface of the sun. But, since I am like Superman and I get my power from the sun (LOL), the session was flawless and Patricia scored high on her very first professional photo session! Take a look at this gorgeousness….Â

S12 Senior Model – Mast Academy • Senior Photography Miami

Some of you already know that I have a line of high-school senior photography (S12 Photos) that’s über cool. I have been re-vamping the website (http://www.s12photos.com) by making it into a blog and adding some more info and features. Check out this sneak peak of Rebekah’s awesome S12 session. She’s the official female S12 model for Mast Academy High-School for which she gets two free sessions, business cards, and more cool stuff for promoting VLM Studios’ S12 sessions at her school.

To see the full post of her pictures, go to the www.S12photos.com website and let Rebekah know how awesome you think her pictures look by leaving a comment.Â

If you are or know a current High-School junior that’s outgoing, stylish, fun, and a people-person, contact me at the studio to talk about representing VLM Studios in your school. I’m currently looking for guys and girls to be S12 models in several high-schools.

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 you’ll one day make a fantastic photo journalist! Shoot for the moon!

I love how her eyes are reflecting the blue sky…

How fashionable! | miami high-school senior photographer

For Cristina’s S12 senior session, we went a little avant garde. She wanted funky, she wanted stylish and she wanted glamour. So….we did just that…. I love the last dress she wore, which is going to be her Prom dress. The color and the fabric, very very mermaid. Loved it! We got so many great shots it was hard to pick which ones to post. Here are the chosen ones : p

Well at least I think so….

To me, it is amazing how much this fabulous girl looks like Keira Knightly! She didn’t think so, but I think Victoria could be her double. She is a very cool,  elegant and straightforward kind of girl, so she wanted to keep it simple. We did this beach shoot very last minute and very uncomplicated. With hurricane Ike looming, the day was absolutely gorgeous, the light was like butter and I, once again, got bathed in sand. These are some of my faves…

Dustyn…all the way from Illinois

Phew….what a hot day!! But it was the one perfect day of the week for this styling photo shoot. Dustyn came all the way from Illinois for his Senior pictures and could not have been any better. For some reason, we always get some crazies at the cool sessions. We had what I think was a chemically enhanced “fan” trying to get me to lend him my camera (…he would need to pry it off my dead cold fingers) and wanting to pose for me as well. Nonetheless, the shoot was fantabulous…here are the pics to show it…Â
