We're Positively Picturesque!
Jo and Carlos – Ecstatically Expecting!
Posted on March 25, 2015
I met JoJo in high school. She was a bright, beautiful, outspoken girl back then and when she contacted me to take her maternity photos I was so excited to see her! She is even more gorgeous then she was as a teen, and one of the most stunning pregnant women I’ve ever photographed. The term ‘glowing’ doesn’t even do her justice, she looked ethereal.
Upon meeting her husband Carlos, it was obvious why they are such a perfect fit. They’re both hysterically funny, energetic people, and very much in love. The affection they feel for each other is palpable in many of the photos.
I think between all the laughter the three of us shared we managed to capture some truly meaningful photos of this special time in Jo and Carlos’ life. I can’t wait to meet their baby girl!
Tyler’s Fourth Birthday Portraits
Posted on January 5, 2015
I had the pleasure of photographing Tyler for his fourth birthday. Talk about a well spoken little gentleman! He has to be, hands down, one of the most of polite preschoolers I’ve ever met.
I’ve known his mother Jackie since high school but she moved out of Florida a few years back and was visiting for the holidays. I was thrilled when she contacted me to photograph a special Mommy and me birthday session.
Jackie is one of the most energetic, positive people you can meet and it was touching to see what a terrific mother she is. I think we truly captured her and Tyler’s special bond.
Autumn leaves, Fall Memories
Posted on November 25, 2014
“I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house.” – Nathaniel Hawthorne
Autumn is the most gorgeous time of year – but if you’re a South Floridian you won’t notice much change. Sure the air might be a tad bit cooler, but the glorious jewel tones of autumn never shine through this far south. Luckily, in western North Carolina autumn is nature’s glorious gift before a chilly winter. On a family trip I was lucky enough to snap these photos before my Miami babies complained of the 40 degree weather.
Jake and Zack’s Hang Ten Holiday session
Posted on November 3, 2014
Who says holiday photos have to be posed around trees and fireplaces with Santas and sleds? Here in South Florida the sun is (almost!) always shining, and the beaches are open year round. Floridians live in a culture of perennial sports and summer skin, so when Jake and Zack wanted photos skateboarding on the beach for their Christmas pictures I thought – why not?
Julian’s Third Birthday – Constructing Sweet Memories!
Posted on September 16, 2014
Suzzell and I went to middle to school together, but I hadn’t been in touch with her in forever, so when she contacted me about photographing her oldest son Julian’s third birthday I was beyond elated!
Julian’s birthday party was immensely imaginative and fun. All the food, decorations and goody bags were perfectly on pointe with the construction theme. Julian had a blast and I loved being able to snap shots while everybody enjoyed themselves!
One of my favorite things about event photography is the amount of colorful candid photos you can capture if you just step back and watch people interact, it truly lends itself to some sweet memories.
The Perez Family – Picture Perfection!
Posted on August 3, 2014
It’s rare to photograph a large family where everybody is not only photogenic, but in pitch perfect harmony with each other. The Perez family was just that needle in the haystack! Even more inspiring was how happy, silly and loving they were. I usually spend much of a session trying to get my clients to feel at ease – being in front of a stranger who is photographing you can be incredibly intimadating – but the Perez family was a dream! I was the one who felt instantly comfortable with this big, beautiful family.
These are some of my favorite family photographs ever – I think the easy laughs and smiling eyes captured speak for themselves.
8th Grade Prom
Posted on June 25, 2014
“It was the best night, never would forget how we moved, the whole place was dressed to the nines
And we were dancing, dancing, like were made of starlight.” – Taylor Swift
What a fun, lively, lovely group of teens! I had the best time photographing this group of friends before their 8th grade dance.
The Prieto Family –
Posted on April 23, 2014
Jessica and Rolando have the most gorgeous family, and I was thrilled to be shooting their family session. Their three children are not only beautiful but some of the most well behaved I’ve met! Jessica’s younger sister and her best friend also took part in the photo shoot, and I think these pictures capture what a fun, playful and loving extended family they are.
Felix’s Rodeo Birthday – Cowboys, Cotton Candy and Horses – oh my!
Posted on March 23, 2014
Some photographers aren’t fans of event work, they deem it ‘inartistic’ – but I enjoy it to the fullest! Meeting new people, watching families create memories, capturing great candid shots that show tender moments between different generations – event shoots hold a special place in my heart.
For Felix’s first birthday his parents planned this wild west theme to a tee – every detail was picture perfect and on theme. Everybody had a wonderful time, and I was so pleased to preserve these special memories!
The Mendoza family – Making memories
Posted on March 23, 2014
I first took photos of Balmy and Robert for their engagement in 2009. I can’t describe what an absolute joy it was to be taking their family portraits five years later!
They are such a lovely family, and it was so much fun taking not only family pictures, but squeezing in some sweet couple photos.
