Bianca’s First Communion • Communion portrait photos Miami

Vanessa — Fri, 18 May 2012 23:03:27 +0000

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 way, so it was a perfect match. Lovely Bianca started out a little shy but warmed up nicely, giving me some beautiful expressions and images. LOVE that last one. Enjoy! ♥ Vanessa

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 your staff or doing your own portrait, contact the studio at 305-254-5084 to get all the details. Enjoy! Vanessa

Senior Fashionista • Senior Portrait Photographer Miami

Vanessa — Fri, 11 May 2012 21:00:25 +0000

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 proud. Her shoot got split into two days due to terrible traffic which, in the end, worked out SO perfectly I can’t even tell you…so I’ll just show you. :) Enjoy! ♥ Vanessa

Power Princess • Dream Quince Photos Miami

Vanessa — Mon, 07 May 2012 19:50:39 +0000

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 my alley! Loved her last outfit – strong, fun, and an absolute conversation starter. After such a long and fun shoot, we hung out a little longer chatting about life over delicious tapas. What a treat knowing this sweet girl and her Mom. Lovely people. Here’s a slice of the shoot. Enjoy! ♥ Vanessa

And 1 makes 4 • Miami Maternity Photographer

Vanessa — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 20:31:52 +0000

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 caught-up on all the happenings, all the while shooting some pictures in between – my favorite type of photo session. See you soon guys! Enjoy! ♥ Vanessa

Tomas & Family • Family Children photographer Miami

Vanessa — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 19:13:09 +0000

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 very stressful for Mommy who I’m sure will be really happy to see the outcome of this shoot. It’s her birthday this coming Monday…Happy Birthday!!! See you Monday…Enjoy! ♥ Vanessa

Joyful Giuliano • lifestyle kids photographer miami

Vanessa — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 22:13:57 +0000

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 his final session – the big birthday one and he made sure to make it memorable…he was NON STOP. He loved the water as you can see here. It was quite a mission keeping him from getting in there as long as we did, so we just gave up. Hopefully there will be another little one soon…right Walky? ;) Enjoy! ♥ Vanessa

Family Resource Center of South Florida • Executive Portrait Photographer Miami

Vanessa — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 19:37:26 +0000

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 lighting set-ups all in 40 minutes. It was a breeze and everyone with a business or a website should be doing this for themselves. It makes all the difference! Enjoy! ♥ Vanessa

Hungry Noelle • Miami Newborn Photographer

Vanessa — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 20:17:39 +0000

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 of her session. Loved the light in your apartment Sarah, it was perfect! See you tomorrow. Enjoy! ♥ Vanessa

Nothing but love • Miami lifestyle children photographer

Vanessa — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 00:26:33 +0000

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 will be a new little monter added to the family soon though as Mom is pregnant . We’ll hopefully be photographing baby soon! ;) Enjoy Shannon! ♥ Vanessa
