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.
"Choose the one that makes you laugh" is what comes to my mind when I think about this fun couple! As many of you know we specialize in maternity and newborn photography and when it comes to shooting something a little different I like to prepare with some ideas which I show my clients. So for this engagement photo shoot I saved some very romantic ideas but Erik and Monica wanted more of a silly, super fun look so this session is not my usual style and I LOVE IT! I actually couldn't stop laughing during some of the shots and my husband the funny guy wasn't even there. At one point I asked them to walk towards the camera and laugh, Erik made both of us laugh. Also my last 4 sessions all involved a furry baby, which makes the session even more fun for me. Just look at how cute the doggy is and he was the first pet that refused to react to my barking lol but was such a smart, well behaved client :)
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 beautiful is Lyka! I mean glowing and flawless! When my studio was all set up and there was some free time, I ran outside and got some red leaves in my neighbors front yard. Those were perfect for the Sew Trendy burgundy gown and we tried something new with studio set up. She was a natural in front of the camera and a beauty in every dress she had on. Henry helped me with throwing the dress since my assistant wasn't available that day and he did awesome job, super fun session! Thank you for booking us and hope to see you guys again!

This little cutie was at my studio in April, she was about 3 weeks old and did great! I couldn't get over how much she looks like her brother who I absolutely adore! I can't wait to photograph her again one day and see how her little personality is because with her brother it's always so fun and easy. He loves the camera and we always capture his personality so well. Just look at his adorable expressions on the sibling shots, can't get any cuter! Of course I'll brag again about how much I love my job, this time I got to capture Zachary's first portraits with baby sister. Gorgeous family!
