This fabulous redhead is Victoria, the second winner of our 10th Anniversary Free Session giveaway which took place in October. Yes, a FREE session! Join us on Facebook so you don’t miss out on any more of the happenings at VLM Studios. Victoria certainly didn’t! She looks a bit like Adele don’t you think? The red hair with her skin tone was so lovely to photograph. Here are some highlights of that shoot. Enjoy! ♥ Vanessa

At long last, I’m posting this session of my good friend Crystal and her handsome boys. I was beyond happy that, after about 5 years of sessions, she finally decided to get in a few shots with her boys. They adore her and she them. It was a chilly, windy, lovely day for a stroll and some pictures. We stopped for ice cream and had dinner afterwards to wrap up a perfect afternoon. Love you guys!!! See you soon C… ♥ Vanessa

Logan was named after the Wolverine character in the X-Men movies…and what a character he is! He’s got adorable faces, amazing eyes and such a sweet disposition. Love photographing him and Mom both of whom you’ve seen here on the blog a few times. This was his 10 month session. Can’t wait to see him walking. See you soon Annette! ♥ Vanessa

Two days before Christmas I met this fun bunch for a family photo session in South Beach. From the moment we met it felt SO comfortable. They were cracking jokes, making each other laugh and making me laugh a little too much as well. The only tough thing about this shoot was keeping the camera straight and not shaking. Fortunately, ahem…I’m a professional…so the majority are in focus. LOL  It was easily the best way to end 2011, feeling the love and closeness of this family. You guys were great! Enjoy!  ♥ Vanessa

Words are insufficient to express how happy I feel about baby Lucas’ arrival, who came to bless and make my lovely friends a family. You might remember Sandra’s birthday/maternity session a few months back here on the blog. We did Lucas’ session within a week of his arrival yet he was the most awake baby I have ever photographed. My favorite thing this session was Dad telling Lucas, “Luc I am your father”….hahaha. Love it! Here’s for you Sandra and Jorge, see you soon. Enjoy!  ♥ Vanessa

This beautiful young woman proudly graduated from the University of Miami the day after our photo shoot. It was extremely windy yet we had no choice than to proceed because she was moving back home to Texas the next day. You can’t even tell right? Mom and Dad were in town for the special occasion so we got some shots with them at the beach and then went to the UM campus to wrap up the shoot. Here are some highlights. Enjoy!  ♥ Vanessa

It’s hard to believe that the Holiday Season came and went once again in the blink of an eye. The decorations are coming down and we’re already preparing for Valentine’s Day – I’m sure every store will be decorated with hearts by this weekend. Before it’s all over I wanted to share a special session from an adorable Santa’s Little Helper that came to the studio with Grandma and Mom, who was so excited to get her baby’s first Christmas immortalized. He’s too scrumptious not share don’t you think? Hope your Holiday Season was joyful and restful, and wish you a most blessed and prosperous New Year. Enjoy!  ♥ Vanessa

Back in October VLM Studios was celebrating its 10th year anniversary and, as part of the month-long celebration, we gave away three studio sessions on our Facebook page. Evidently, if you’re not a fan yet, you’re missing out! Click here to “Like” our page.

Tina is one of the free-session recipients. We spoke a couple of times about clothing and how nervous she was about being photographed. I assured her it would be fun and that I would capture her beauty. She scoffed at the mention of her beauty even while I was photographing her. It took some warming up, loud music and lots of laughter to get the real Tina to come out…but she eventually did and that’s when I said…”THERE’s Tina”!!! I knew YOU were in there still Tina, don’t forget YOU. You’re gorgeous inside and out! Enjoy!  ♥ Vanessa

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

When baby Nicolas was born, big brother Gabriel said they were now ’5 Guys’ and he was beyond ecstatic that it was yet another brother. I’ve photographed the boys since they were born and for the first time we have been able to do a complete family photo session…the 5 Guys and the 2 Ladies. We managed traffic delays, minor temper tantrums, and time running out to get some beautiful images. So glad we were able to get everyone in these. Very very special. Enjoy! ♥ Vanessa
