Sarai & Danny-Maternity Shoot

" A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for" -Pablo Picasso

The beauty of motherhood! Sarai and Danny are so excited as they expect the arrival of their little princess, and I couldn't be happier for them! Their shoot was so much fun as they are full of jokes and we laughed the majority of the time. Although the humidity felt like it was choking us lol we created some beautiful memories of this precious milestone in their life that they will be able to cherish forever. Enjoy! xo

Omeir Children's Shoot

"We are the dreamers of dreams"

A Child at play, is one of the most peaceful and innocent moments to take in. Don't get me wrong while they play, run, and jump off walls, it can get chaotic (Sounds like I'm contradicting myself already), but the peace and innocence I'm talking about is how genuine they are while playing. They live every second in the now...not caring about what the next moment brings. While they dream their dreams and let their imagination go wild, it is so peaceful to sit back and watch as everything around them stops and as they take in each creative moment. Does that make sense? Well...I love it. I loved this shoot. Watching these too little ones, interacting with each other was so beautiful. Seeing their parents behind the scenes enjoying them. *Sigh* Makes me want to start a family of my own...I'll leave you on that note to enjoy the shoot for yourselves. Maybe you can see what I'm talking about...Watch as these dreamers. Dream. xoxo

Baby Z Turns One- Children's Shoot

"She leaves a little sparkle wherever she goes"

This little cutie was so full of joy! She was full of giggles, just a pleasure to shoot her. I am very good friends with her parents and have literally watched them grow, so capturing this milestone meant so much to me. Happy Birthday to this beautiful little girl, may she continue to bring happiness to every life she touches! xoxo

Multigenerational Family Shoot

I LOVE THIS FAMILY! Not just because two of the members of this family happens to be one of the gorgeous couples I will be shooting on their big day soon...no no, that is not why at all. It is simply because I genuinely felt connected to them. The day was hot and humid (I know, a very common occurrence in Florida), but this family still managed to keep their spirits up and as you can see in their images, they are a family bound by love! Now, aside from the fact that it was so hot and I almost passed out towards the end of the shoot, I think we had a great time at their shoot and captured some great memories that I know they will cherish for a lifetime. A family that takes pictures together sticks together! That's my motto! Enjoy xoxo

The Perez Family

"He heals the brokenhearted, and bandages their wound" ~Psa 147:3

This is the strongest family I have ever been blessed to come in contact with. After experiencing tragedy in their family, they have found strength in their faith in God and each other. Little Gabriella passed away this past May when she was just a little over 1 years old, from a very sad incident in their home pool. She would have been 2 this August 26. It hurts me even to share this, as when I heard the story it truly broke my heart. But I met the most beautiful spirited woman...Ashley. Ashley informed me that she wanted everyone to know their story. Whether you find strength and hope in her families loss or just to make others aware of the dangers of swimming pools, Ashley wants you all to know. When she called me to tell me she wanted me to capture her family doing a butterfly release as a memorial on her daughters birthday, I will not lie, I didn't think I had the heart for it. But after hearing Ashley tell me with confidence, that if it wasn't for her faith she would be broken, I felt her strength through the phone; And while I thought I would have to be the one to stay strong, I found myself gleaning from her strength. There are no words to describe the beauty of this family. I only ask that as you look through these images you send prayers of comfort and peace to God for this family, as you are glimpsing into very intimate moments of their life. I hope through these images you can see a little of their heart, and feel encouraged and strengthened to share this story with others who might need it.
