Jake’s First Communion

I’ve been photographing Jake for the last several years and I was so ecstatic to be taking his First Holy Communion photos. He is growing into such a bright young man, and it is always a pleasure to spend time with him.

A Romantic Renewal

Weddings are wonderful, but renewals have a special place in my heart. An act of rekindling love, appreciation, and adoration, renewals are always amazingly special.

It was lovely watching not just the bride and groom interact, but witnessing how much fun their family and friends were having too.

Jake and Zack’s Hang Ten Holiday session

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?

Jenny and Javier – love in motion!

There is a radiance to most newly engaged couples, yet in the case of Jenny and Javier their easy laughter and sweet smiles were incredibly touching. One of the most wonderful things about being a photographer is witnessing love in fluid motion, and when these two looked at each other adoration love was perfectly palpable.

Alexandra and Jason – A Lifetime of Love, and Laughter

I didn’t get into photography because I was into fancy gear, or was incredibly artistic – photography has clung to me since childhood because I love people. One of the things I adore about my job is meeting people and hearing their stories, and everybody appreciates a great love story.

When I saw the tender way Jason looked at Alex, and how she laughed at his jokes with her whole being their love wasn’t just clear, it was palpable. I have no doubt that these two will cherish each other for a lifetime.

 

 

 

Felix’s Rodeo Birthday – Cowboys, Cotton Candy and Horses – oh my!

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!
