The best way to capture personality, love and just life is to photograph candid moments! I always try to get a few posed, everyone look a the camera shots but the rest is go go go, specially with kids. This beautiful family recently moved to FL to enjoy beach and sunshine! Don't think I'll ever get bored of shooting at the beach, such a gorgeous background and kids have so much fun! Also how adorable is the doggy, love it when families bring their pets to shoot.
Sometimes families don't even have to leave their neighborhood and meet me on location because here in gorgeous Boca most communities are perfect locations for photoshoots! This was shot right in front of the house, it was a mini that was fast lol Why? Mostly because children this age don't want to spend few hours with me and don't want to hear anything about smile and stay. That's fine with me because my favorite shots are unposed, I just want to capture real life and we were successful in this case! We jumped, danced, made silly faces and just ignored the photographer haha therefore the results were hilarious and perfect in my opinion ;)
I was looking forward to meeting this gorgeous couple and our goal was to get some outdoor shots but weather had other plans. The beach looked kind of intimidating that day and as soon as we started shooting it was pouring. We did get one amazing shot and you can see how the sky looked, no photoshop there! After getting soaked we left for studio but stopped at a park to try again since rain stopped for just 20 minutes it seemed like lol Anyway the weather was unpredictable that day but my client looked stunning and this gallery is beautiful plus I have to mention Valerie is so sweet, pleasure to work with, can't wait to meet their princess soon!
One of my absolute favorite sessions, pregnancy is beautiful and I love to show off the bump with less clothing in a very tasteful way! My client is of course gorgeous and her choices of outfits, accessories and including the family pet was so inspirational. I couldn't stop shooting! It all started with crazy storm which ended up with a few epic shots and well the studio part you can see is perfection, she is a natural model. Love creating art like this with another creative person that appreciates photography.
What a gorgeous family at one of my favorite beaches Red Reef in Boca Raton! This was a milestone session for baby who is only 3 months old, he is such a cutie. Usually around this age I don't recommend a long session that way we have a happy baby and also family session is best because the little one wants to be held. Baby gave us a few adorable smiles but most of the time was distracted by all the noises like wind and waves so we ended up capturing the cutest expressions too! I couldn't wait to blog this photo shoot however we had to evacuate because of hurricane Irma and things are finally going back to normal. Thankful everyone is ok
This was actually a lifestyle session done at this family's gorgeous new home! We are in process of setting up in home studio and had to bring mini studio with us. Baby A was not tired at first and all he wanted was mommy. We got awake shots and sleepy once, pictures are adorable. I was in baby heaven after taking long break from work. I also realized that instead of heating up the room to over 80 degrees we can do the session outside, loving FL even more for this reason ;)
We finally moved in, loving our new life in Boca Raton and this here is my very first photo shoot! Just look at this beautiful family and gorgeous mama! I'm so in love with my new background and can't wait to meet new clients in FL. This session was so fun, we brought our girls with and while they played in the water we captured these stunning memories.
Loved this mommy and me session, it was such a perfect evening at one of my favorite locations. We really wanted to capture few nursing shots because those moments we mommies miss so much :) However for busy, curious toddler, new place and being outdoors was just more fun than eating. She was also a very serious model and her parents mentioned that it's just how she is in front of camera but I had my clown with me that day and we ended up with lots of smiles. The ladies in this family are absolutely gorgeous and big brother was amazing, such a sweet boy. Thank you for booking us!
We have been taking pictures of this family for 3 years in a row and always have so much fun! Good thing we were on the go, moving, jumping, dancing and running because the weather wasn't the best that day. Love the outfits mom picked out, girls are absolutely stunning and Caleb is full of personality as always, mom's little twin :) As you can see my favorite shots from the session are always the unposed once. Don't worry I will direct you and tell you what to do but I'd rather it not be hey look here, stare right at the camera because lets be honest not only will the children be super bored in few seconds with a shoot like that but you will also be missing out on moments that truly show your child's personality.
By this time I think everyone who sees my posts and blogs realized I love families that include their pets in such important life events and just love people who love fur babies :) This big puppy was so excited to join his parents for pictures and did so well, very smart boy! He posed and smiled and ate peanut butter off her belly lol but yes that is what we did in some shots to have him kiss his sister. This mom and her belly I mean just gorgeous and she looked amazing 11 days post delivery when it was time for newborn pictures. Baby was sleepy and tiny and so very perfect. Before the session I go over nursery colors or just what colors parents prefer, I match the props, actually takes me a while sometimes to select exactly what I think will go with backdrop or certain prop. My house is full of props lol and it's just not easy with all the choices. Newborn photography is one my favorites, so I can be a perfectionist when it comes to what kind of props and how everything has to be set up. I adore the matching shirts shot, perfect family portrait!
How adorable is baby Liam! Soooo cute and in my opinion looks a lot like his big sister :) I am so lucky to have a job where I get to hold newborn babies for hours. Liam didn't want to sleep for a while but when he finally did the poses came out so perfect. We even got to use the truck and I totally love the awake shot. It's my favorite shots specially when babies this young look right at the camera, well more like my giant light but who cares it's perfect. Love his cheeks, hair and those little lips. His big sister doesn't really like photo shoots lol but that's ok we always figure it out and those few sibling shots we got are amazing memories for parents. Thank you guys once again for trusting me with your little one and well for just being awesome clients!
This gorgeous family was referred by their friends, we are very thankful to have clients that recommend us! It was such a beautiful cloudy evening, we were able to use any background at the park due to overcast skies.The forest area was full of yellow flowers and the colors are starting to really look like Fall even though this session was in August. Honestly after working with kids for so many years I was shocked at how well behaved these siblings were, kids this age usually lose interest in taking pictures fast unless Mark and I work very hard to get their attention ;) but not this time! They were so good at following directions and were just natural in front of the camera. They also adore each other and when we asked them to just play and laugh, it was too cute. The session went by so fast with lots of smiles, hugs and we captured their love so well I had a hard time choosing which pictures to show on the blog, I wanted to post them all!
This is such a stunning family with a mom that is seriously a superwoman. I mean to look like this all while working and taking care of 4 children! We had so much fun at this session, parents are so sweet and fun to be around. It can be challenging working with toddlers and kids under 8 so we were all on the go and using every trick to keep the little once entertained but just look at what we captured. So much love and happiness! Mom also did amazing job with the outfits for the whole family, can you tell she knows what it's all about? That is because Nina is also a photographer located in IL. So thankful that they chose us to capture these moments and hope to work with this amazing family again!
So we are in process of moving from IL to FL and what a stressful experience it has been so far however I'm not going to complain because we have been planning this forever, therefore we can't wait to finally live in Boca Raton. While the move is keeping us all very busy I'm also changing a lot of things for the business, adding new exciting options for packages offered, getting whole new website and logo! Because I had to redo my site, all the blogs are now gone and I must have these gorgeous families on my site. This family had maternity and newborn session with us. Mom was stunning for golden hour session with her adorable little princess and the baby when he arrived at our studio was tiny, precious and sleepy! Love the memories we captured! Golden gown is from Sew Trendy and most of the newborn props are made by me, another job I adore is making those ;)
This is two separate sessions, one was done when little one was just 3 months and the next one was for his 1st Birthday! Both indoor and outdoor and so many amazing moments captured! Beautiful family, natural in front of the camera and just look what a difference, how fast little once grow and change in just few months! So happy to be able to capture memories for parents they will cherish forever, family pictures are just so important.
