Three sessions, three locations, a Lady Gaga “monster” inspired themed party, purple tennis shoes, synchronicity with a vintage car, rain, fantastic make-up, and ALL an absolute blast! Can’t tell you how much fun it was to photograph Analis and hang out with her awesome Mom (and their “Mack Daddy” make-up artist Jonathan). There are nearly 800 images from the three sessions for which I have yet to complete the editing, but I hand-picked this group to give you a small glimpse of this sweet, gentle and beautiful girl. Finally… right Ana? Enjoy! ♥ Vanessa

It is very clear from the moment you meet Megan that she is very clear about who she is and what she wants. She’s an absolute original whose authenticity and boldness, I venture to guess, may not be applauded in the halls of high-schools, but will totally be hailed in the halls of life. As they say…’she’s going places’, I’m certain of it. Her session was as fun as it looks. Yes… she really rocks the guitar and also totally rocked those boots! :) Can’t wait to show her and Mom all the shots. Enjoy! ♥ Vanessa

What a gentle beauty Natalie is. She had a magical teal dress that seemed to match everything around us. We did some shots with little sister Rachel who is a bucket of love, so cute! Everything was just lovely. Even with the crazies that came out at the last location fabulousness ensued. Enjoy! ♥ Vanessa

To mark Ashley’s “Quince Primaveras” (Fifteen Springs) we did 3 shoots over 4 days. They were all incredible which is why this post took me forever to do and why it has so many images. The studio session was a favorite because she was so ‘game’ for my Spring showers concept and it came off without a hitch! Love those images. She’s been waiting patiently for this post, so I’ll let the images do the talking. Enjoy! ♥ Vanessa

Yes, you can forget Dorothy’s ruby slippers. I fell in love with Alyssa’s fabulous sapphire heels. They literally caused me to gasp the first time I saw them…and I don’t even wear heels that much… who am I kidding, I almost NEVER wear heels; but I’d wear those in a heartbeat! Needless to say, this quinceañera’s photo session was stylish, fun and gorgeous. She had a very relaxed natural way about her that photographed beautifully. I was thrilled that she and Mom trusted me when I suggested the sunset/field concept; it’s one of my favorites from her session. Enjoy! ♥ Vanessa

“The best things come in small packages” the saying goes…and it certainly applies here. Melanie is a kind, gentle, tender spirit that came to the studio for some modeling head shots. This is the second shoot I’ve done with Melanie but have photographed her and her family for over 5 years. In a way, this became a warm-up session for her Quince shoot coming up later this year (which we’re already starting to plan). She did more than fine don’t you think? I know she’s going to rock the heck out of her Quince shoot…can’t wait! Great job Melanie!!! Enjoy! ♥ Vanessa

I had the pleasure of photographing this gentle, smart, and easy-going young man a couple of weeks ago. I rarely get to photograph teenage/Senior guys, so I was really excited when we talked about his red Mustang and Tae Kwon Do during his planning appointment. He had an awesome throwback hat that went perfect with the car and leather jacket. It’s totally a modern ‘rat pack’ shot to me, my favorite from this shoot. Enjoy! ♥ Vanessa

Chelsea came all the way from Pittsburgh for her fabulous senior photo shoot in Miami Beach. We had originally scheduled a Thursday afternoon shoot, the weather had other plans of course. We ended up shooting on Friday morning – not my favorite time – but the only time slot available. You can see by the light in these shots that it was so worth it and just amazing. Love the colors and energy of these images. Chelsea you were fantastic! Enjoy! ♥ Vanessa

This gorgeous Quinceañera is Dianela. A very serious and sweet girl with a neckline that’s a photographer’s dream…sooooo very Audrey Hepburn. Her shoot also got split in half because of weather and it took five reschedules before we were able to complete the beach portion. She’s been waiting for this post for a while, so I’ll shut up and let you enjoy it. Leave her some blog love. ♥ Vanessa

Two sessions, two months apart due to crazy life events and weather, but so awesome I can’t even begin. Wendy is stylish, confident, funny and beautifully composed for only fifteen. From the moment we planned her sessions I knew they would be a blast and, what can I say…wow. Just look at these! She did amazing. Can’t wait to show her and her Mom all the images. Enjoy! ♥ Vanessa
