Gold Coast Museum

Here in Miami we have a railroad museum named Gold Coast Railroad Museum; they have all kinds of REAL trains from different eras. They also have a train cemetary where trains that are too deteriorated to be renovated are put. They rot and peel and give you cool patterns like the first image. Then there are the other trains where you can actually hop on into and see what it used to be like. This is really one of those amazing hidden gems of Miami! I went with a dear friend, Ailyn, and we had a great time! Enjoy :)

Little Miss Mila Nicole First Birthday Photo shoot!

Mila Nicole turns 1! I had the pleasure of photographing her at 6 months, and it amazes me how much she's grown in just another 6! We tried shooting on one hot OCTOBER day and she just wasn't having it! (which is NOTHING like her... she's always a happy baby!) So we did a re-shoot a few weeks later and she was in SUCH a good mood! Momma dressed her IMPECCABLY of course (duh.. she DID win Best Dress in high school! hah), and this little princess was a pro! I loved letting her run around and do her thing, it gave me some of my favorite images. Hope you enjoy these... these have been one of my favorite sessions ever! Thanks Jenny for choosing me to photograph your little princess.. can't wait for more sessions! ...Stay tuned for pics of Mila's first birthday party! :)

Magic City Photos

I live in one of the most beautiful cities in the US; Miami, FL. We have everything from the Beach to the City, to Suburban Living. We have a lot of historic landmarks, and brand new shops and restaurants. We've won several world championships, and world series, but how many true Miamans can say they've actually SEEN their city? Well thats what my friend Fischer and I set out to do one day. We hopped on the Metro Rail in Coconut Grove and got off in several different "cities" within our massive one. We got off in Brickell, Overtown, Opalocka, and even Liberty City! We had a few scary moments, but overall I've come to appreciate my city, and the MANY different kinds of people who live in it. In every town we visited, there was something special and at least a few residents hanging out, we even stumbled upon a food and arts festival in Overtown where the food was BEYOND amazing, and the art was superb. This was definitely one of my most favorite days ever!

Sal & Panchi get Hitched!

Today I share the very special wedding of Sal & Panchi. It was my fist wedding and I had a lot of fun surrounded by such a great group of people. The love between them was radiating throughout the entire night! The ceremony and reception was at the Historic Santa Maria in Brickell, what a beautiful place to get married! Enjoy!

Sarah Sophia is Here!

I got the pleasure of photographing this sweet girl; Sarah Sophia! She wasn't quite ready when I got there because she needed a few snuggles and feedings from Momma before she ready to board the sleep train! But once she was out... boyyy was she OUT! Not once did she make a peep every time I moved her! Funny story... Mom was all about doing ANYTHING I wanted with the baby... including taking her outside for a few photos... Grandma on the other hand... not so much, in fact she said "I can't watch!" Good thing is I've known these lovely ladies practically ALL my life... So outside we went! Hope you enjoy these goodies, I can't wait to photograph her again!

Nature Girl

So a friend of mine told me this mythical story of this amazing park in Miami where it's more of a forest than an actual park! I couldn't believe it... until I went for myself. This is by far my favorite park in Miami because... you don't feel like you're in Miami... AT ALL! Tall banyan trees with long vines are everywhere, trails that lead to nowhere, several beautiful lakes, bridges, and even a tree house! Here are some of the photos from my magical day at my favorite park... which I keep very secret for obvious reasons! ;)

Luka's 5th Birthday Party

Today I share with you one of my favorite little boy's 5th Birthday Party! Luka's mom is one of my bestest friends in the WHOLE world, for the past 7 years we've had many ups and downs, laughs, tears, and arguments, but at the end of the day, I am SO lucky to be able to be a part of their little family!
