Chloe Adeliade's Tea Party!

Today, on this rainy Miami Tuesday Morning, I joyfully bring to you Chloe Adelaide's Tea Party! This little cutie was my FIRST newborn shoot ever. I have known Vanessa, Chloe's mom for almost two decades and when I asked her if she would let me play guinea pig with her little baby she was all for it! Fast forward a year and a half later and here we are. When we got to the park Chloe was sleeping and I was worried she'd wake up in a cranky mood as many babies do when adults wake them up... but no way! The second her eyes fluttered opened, she was ALL smiles and giggles and wanting me to compliment her adorable brand new silver shoes! This little bugger had SO much energy, at one point Mom gave up & sat by the lake while Chloe & I just ran around while I kept clicking away... needless to say I was extremely sore the next morning! I'm so thrilled with these images, it was a great day (aside from the huge mutant mosquito's)! Enjoy :)

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!

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! ;)

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!

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! ;)
