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 ;)

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!
