{Throwback Thursday} Juan+Blandine Engagement

I don't know about you but I love Instagram! 

Something about being able to share bits and pieces from your everyday life through photos is just so inspiring and allows you to get as creative as you'd like. One of the things that I enjoy on Instagram is a theme everything Thursday called "Throwback Thursday" or "#tbt. It's a day where you are able to share old photos and remember old memories. SO, I'm bring that theme to this blog, on any given Thursday, I will be sharing my favorite shoots from the past that are not yet featured on this blog. 

My very first #tbt is from Juan+Blandine's engagement shoot in Winter Park. We started off at Casa Feliz, a beautiful house and grounds, having a great time along the way. After that, we began strolling through Winter Park, which is one of my favorite ways to do sessions. We went from climbing onto a hidden roof with a wall of beautiful flowers to having some fun on their scooter.
It was amazing! Check it out :-)

{Featured} Brink Magazine

Last month, my dear friend, Marian of Peplum Events+Design asked me to take a few shots of one of her AMAZING set-ups for Brink Magazine. As I heard myself saying yes, I felt the nervousness instantly. Knowing that this was for an established publication increased the "pressure" and I knew I had to deliver. I worked detail by detail to make sure these photos were perfect and I couldn't be more proud of the work accomplished.

{Grandkids} Mother's Day Shoot

Last year, we gifted my mother-in-law portraits of all her grandkids together as her Mother's Day present. At the time, she only had four since my daughter, Chloe Rae, was still in the belly. So this year, she asked for the same gift, but with all of them. 

So this year, without her knowing again, we coordinated everything and made it happen. Let me tell you, it was not easy but it was a complete success!! I am beyond thrilled with how all of these photos came out that I had to share them with all of you. So, this year, we made a canvas for her of one of the group shots and she loved it again!

Needless to say, my Mother's Day was awesome, especially since this was my first official one! Enjoy these photos as much as I do. :-)

Hello Everyone! 

Welcome to my new blog, new name, and new look! I know it has been awhile since I have picked up my camera, let alone, blog, but I wanted to start this new blog off with a fresh start. 

I recently had a vision in my mind that I just had to get out. I saw soft light, natural hair and make up, but with a total glamour and beautiful feel. Everyday, I pass this dirt road on the way to work and have been itching to use it for something. 

What I envisioned came to life with my good friend, Carol Santiago, and my sister-in-law, Lynet Ramos (and the lonely dirt road in East Orlando). I contacted Carol about using her as a model while giving Lynet my vision with thick eyeliner and natural lip color and they both made it happen! 

I couldn't be more in love with this shoot! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, and give some love to these talented ladies!
