Phillips Family | Coral Springs, FL

Some families I meet really have a nice aura about them, and the Phillips family was one of them. They were so friendly and I could really tell they were genuine about everything. They wanted some pictures of Cole for an upcoming ceremony at their local church and of the whole family. It was a fantastic opportunity to shoot at the St. Andrews Catholic Church. Then, we headed over to another part of Coral Springs to shoot some family pictures.

Thank you to Darwin, Sabine, Darin Cole, and Mason. You folks were great!

Elizabeth and the Girls | Fort Lauderdale, FL

Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing Elizabeth and her daughters, Kendra and Sabrina down at Riverwalk in Fort Lauderdale. They’re really into books and wanted them featured in their portraits. So, they brought along some of their favorite books and we had a terrific time at one of my favorite locations. Thanks ladies!

P.S. In case you’re wondering, the girls enjoyed works by John Irving, Stephenie Meyer, Jean Craighead George, and Dr. Seuss.

Maida and David are expecting their first child, a boy, very soon and it was such a pleasure shooting a maternity session with them. They made it so easy and everything went smoothly. Thanks to you both…and congratulations to the new parents!!!

Bianny & Emmanuel Married | Miami, FL

I love Miami weddings, mainly because it often involves two key ingredients to a successful wedding: love and fun. Love is obviously expected at a wedding, but more so when it’s a large family affair…you just know the family is tight and it shows in their expressions.

And so it was at Bianny and Emmanuel’s wedding. I met up with Bianny, the bride, at her parent’s house. Their home was absolutely gorgeous. Then, we jetted over to Sacred Heart Catholic Church…her in a Rolls, no less. Lucky girl! From there, it was on to Signature Gardens for the reception.

Now, believe me when I say Bianny and Emmanuel’s family can dance. Wow! I wish I could dance like that. Of course, if I could, it would be that much harder to document the event. Maybe it’s a good thing I can’t dance–you wouldn’t want that…trust me.

Thank you so much to Bianny and Emmanuel. You guys are great!

Judith & David Married | Fort Lauderdale, FL

Judith and David are such a lovely couple. When they told me they were getting married at the New River Inn, I was super excited because it’s such a quaint little building, one of the oldest in Fort Lauderdale. From what I hear, this unique historic location has just recently opened its doors to wedding events. A special thank you to Linda of the Fort Lauderdale Historical Society and the rest of the staff at the New River Inn!

One thing to look out for is the railroad track picture. Frankly, I’ve never been a huge fan of these, but I must, Judith and David made it work. You two were great!
