Monique + Julian - i do!

From across the country in Indiana, Monique and Julian managed to locate me to photograph their destination wedding here in Miami Beach. Monique and I hit it off immediatly over the phone, but it wasn't until the day of their wedding that we were able to meet. Like on a blind date, I arrived at the Palms in search of my bride and groom. Monique was just as sweet and welcoming as she had been on the phone, and Julian was a quite handsome groom. It was a beautiful ceremony on the beach surrounded by their closest friends and family with a fun celebration that followed...this group really knew how to get down!

Monique and Julian...thank you for welcoming me into your lives and allowing me to capture the memories of your wedding day for you. I look forward to many updates from you. And thanks again, for being the most patient bride ever!

not quite fall

Although it's not quite what I would call fall in Miami, we had a lot of fun rustling in the leaves the other day at the park and snapping a few photos while doing so. These three kept me on my toes during their photo session, but they were great fun!

we got it!

I often have moms ask me at the end of a photo shoot "did we get it?". I know that they always refer to that one great shot that will stand out in their minds as a memory of that moment in time or the perfect image for their holiday cards. I spent the afternoon yesterday with Gidi and Laura, and like most other moms, she asked that same fateful question "do you think we got it?". Well if this isn't it, then I don't know what is.

I love this shot and it portrays Gideon, full of fun and excitement in a way that only a two year old can express it.

I promise there's more to come from this one!

sweet silly girls

You may recall this image from my main website:

Watching these two girls grow over the last four years from newborns into little ladies has been a delight. Their annual photo shoots are always so much fun and each year, mom challenges me to come up with something unique. These images are fun and simple and they really do portray these two as little ladies, each with their own individuality.

I love this shot of mommy and her girls. There is nothing like love from your babies, no matter how old they are. Enjoy it mommy!

midwestern kids

What's more fun than a mini vacation to Miami beach! This midwestern family came to Miami for a little fun in the sun just before the cold set in this winter. We had a great time splashing and playing on the beach. It was a little bit of a challenge to keep these two out of the water long enough to finish our photo shoot.

Thanks for including me in your Miami Beach vacation plans! I hope that these images capture the memories of your vacation.
