Claudia & Rick Expecting #1!

I guess it's maternity week since this post is also all about baby bumps... My very first Maternity Session was with Rick & Claudia, and I couldn't have asked for a better couple! They were expecting baby number one and were SUPER excited. Claudia had a bunch of ideas during the session which made it such a breeze to work with them! They were so down to earth and so in love and SO excited about Mr. Richard Logan coming into their lives that this has been one of my favorite & memorable sessions. Stay tuned for newborn shots of Logan! Enjoy!

Monica & Doug's Maternity Session

It's not a huge secret that my two favorite kinds of sessions are Baby Bumps & Itty Bitties (newborns). Just recently I received the honor of being able to photograph one of the most IN LOVE couples I've ever met. After our first phone conversation, I already knew it was going to be an amazing session, I was so inspired and couldn't wait for the day to come. So on to Bill Bags State Park we went! My best friend Pam tagged along to help me lug around my gear since I still wasn't feeling 100% from a recent surgery I had, and just as expected, sparks flew, they were naturals, I was in the zone, and it was one magical day... Monica was referred to me by Dianah whose maternity session I did, and I couldn't have been more grateful! I just can't wait for the newborn sesh! <3 Enjoy!

If you don't know by now, I am obsessed with benches. "How did that come to be?" you might be thinking... well, I once had a dear friend who used to photograph McDonald's Arches everywhere he traveled, I thought to myself, I need a staple; I need something that I can find anywhere and everywhere, and just figure out different ways to photograph it... so there you go. I'm obsessed with benches, and I'm obsessed with how these bench images turned out! 

 Love all things baby bump, nature & nautical! <3

 See what I mean? PURE love over here.... this wasn't posed... this was ALLLL them! ::sigh::

Thanks for visiting y'all! Don't forget to leave me some love in the comments! Come back soon & as my superhero Ellen always says... Be kind to one another <3

Alexa Nicole's First Communion

Today I am so extremely excited to share images from a session I did with my niece/goddaughter for her first communion. This little girl is the absolute love of my life! We had a great "Madrina & Lexi Day", just her and I at a park photographing away... I could tell she had been rehearsing in anticipation for the session because she was right ON the money with her facial expressions and her poses, I swear, I rarely had to tell her to move or position her! We also did a "boho chic" look after her communion look, but those I'll post at a later date because right now I can't get enough of these! :) Enjoy!

Lani Grace Heredia Coming Soon!

No words can express how happy I was to photograph these two during such a beautiful time in their lives. Diana and I go back a long time... and by go back, I mean WAY back... can we say "Danced our first ballet recital at 5 years old together" back?! YES... I have the photos to prove it! haha! Dee is one of the sweetest people I know, and her hubby Alex is amazeballs... and together they are ADORABLE. We shot at Matheson Park and although it was FREEZING... and Mommy to Be was extremely uncomfortable... we had a great time shooting and I'm so excited to show these images!

Nicole's Turns 1!

Say Hi to Nicole... Nicole just turned 1 and she is OBSESSED with Minnie Mouse! So much so, her Momma created this beautiful Minnie Mouse Themed Extravaganza! She had such an amazing day during her party with a life sized Minnie there to play games with her and all her friends! Here are some of the photos of the end of the party where I got to do a mini photo portraiture shoot after shooting the actual party. Enjoy! 

Sophie's Day in Wynwood

Meet Sofie... she dances ballet, jazz, and probably a whole bunch more, she's extremely flexible, LOVES her Mama, and of course her Pup! We had a great day in Wynwood in Miami! Wynwood is sort of our "art district" and wherever you walk there are buildings with beautiful art and graffiti painted on the outside. It's home to countless galleries and amazing food! Check out Sofie rocking out her first photo shoot like a pro! ;)

Mila's First Birthday Party!

If you haven't checked out Mila's first birthday shoot, check it out here. Today I share her first birthday party! I'm lucky to have known most of the people at this party for a long time (10+ years), so shooting this one was not only a breeze with such BEAUTIFUL people... but so much fun! Little Mila was having a great old time with all her little friends and her amazing family! Loved photographing this party! Oh yea and... a little announcement was made during this party... I may have a future newborn to photograph! ...and NO... Mila is NOT having a baby sibling.. at least not anytime soon! hah ;)

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! :)

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!
