Sienna & Giovanni | South Florida Maternity Photographer

It was a real treat for me to have photographed Sienna & Gio.

I knew Sienna from our freshman year at high school

but I had transfered to another school for the last 3 years.

We reconnected in college, where I also met her husband Gio,

then recently became reacquainted through facebook (gotta love fb!).

It was such an honor for me to have this opportunity to document

such a special moment in Sienna & Gio's lives,

the arrival of their baby girl, Valentina.

They were such a fun couple which made it so easy

to get all these great shots, especially of Sienna laughing.

They were also good sports about trying out a location that was

out of the ordinary.

I've been itching to shoot a more modern session

with a more urban twist and they were right on board with me!

This mommy-to-be even hopped in an unhitched, abandoned trailer!

All for the shot, right?!!

She is definitely smokin' baring her baby bump,

but I honestly think I don't have one bad shot of her.

Daddy, you ain't too shabby yourself. :)

Congratulations to the expectant parents!

Looking forward to meeting your little diva!

Our Fall portraits:

Aaron M. | South Florida Kids Photographer

Run. Jump. Climb. Slide. Swing.

Aaron did just about everything during our

morning session a few weekends ago.

I was even locked up in "jail"

and had to escape when Aaron wasn't looking. :)

Aaron also enjoyed a sweet treat.

He must've never seen a lollipop of that size!

I wonder how long it took him to finish that lollipop...

Mady at the Pumpkin Patch 2010 | South Florida Kids Photographer

Last night we took a visit to our neighborhood pumpkin patch.

As you can see by her expression (or rather, lack thereof),

Mady wasn't very excited to be at the pumpkin patch.

She started to warm up to it when

we suggested that she toss some straw into the air.

Of course she enjoyed it...making a mess if FUN!

Here are some shots from last year's visit at the same patch.

For all photos of Mady's first visit, click here.

Lolliposh Boutique Sale | Special Events | South Florida Portraiture Photographer

I attended my first vendor event this weekend,

the Lolliposh Boutique upscale consignment sale & bazaar!

It was a great experience and I met a lot of awesome people.

I also attended the private pre-sale and found a bunch of stuff

for Mady as well.

Some of my neighboring vendors:

Book n Cookin

(an innovative interactive program for kids!)

Lulli Palulli

(I think I bought the most stuff from her!)

Playgroup Connect

(service pairing moms within the same area with same interests)

Creative Memories

(great photo products!)

Stitch Technologies

(for all your embroidery needs!)

Here are a few shots of my table at the event.

Thank you all who came to stop by!

Mia's Baptism | South Florida Event Photographer

Congratulations to the Perez family on their daughter Mia's baptism.

The ceremony was held at the Congregational Church in Coral Gables.

This was my first time visiting this church, but I've always admired it

every time I had a chance to take a visit to the Biltmore Hotel.

Mia was a perfect angel.

Her bright eyes illuminated from her elegant ivory gown

and she was a very content baby on her special day.

Thank you for letting me be part of this great moment.

God bless this little darling!

The Street Family | Kids | South Florida Family Photographer

It was a swing-swingin', lollipop lickin' Sunday morning with the Street family.

I love the morning light on this particular morning.

Loved the way it peaked through the trees

creating the hazy look of the first 2 shots.

It was definitely a cooler morning and we could sense

the fall weather starting to take over.

Brother and sister due, Ellie & Ethan, were just so loving together.

Ethan was telling Ellie all about his favorite trucks as they swung on the tire swing.

He also told me that he was going to be a big ogre for Halloween.

Is that right, Ethan?! :)

Ellie's favorite part of our session was her time on the swing.

She kept asking for daddy to push her higher and higher.

She looked so darn cute in her vibrant ensemble (and we can't for the bling-ed out shoes!).
