Clayton James | Ten-Month Portraits at Dubois Park in Jupiter, FL

Ten-Month Portraits at Dubois Park in Jupiter, FL

Meet little Clayton James, C.J. for short, my adorable godson! If you follow me on Instagram and Facebook, chances are you've seen his cuteness a few times! Although he has been in front of my camera many times since he was two weeks old, this is his first time debuting on the blog! He is ten-months-old today and I just can't believe how big he is already! Here are a few of my favorite things about this little guy!

He calls me 'Rina' (well not just yet, but he will) which is short for Madrina--that's godmother in Spanish and Italian. Since I am Cuban and I was in Italy when he was born, his mommy and I thought it was the perfect name! Andrew is his godfather and he goes by 'Rino' short for Padrino. My favorite thing is that even though Clayton can't say our names yet, his parents/our best friends have been calling us those names since he was born.

His mommy and daddy are just the best parents this little guy could ask for! I believe that is the reason he truly is the happiest of babies! He rarely cries, he's always smiling, he kicks his foot to the beat when he hears music playing and if he's really feelin' the beat he'll even dance! Can you tell his parents are musicians or what!?

His signature style is classic like a proper gentlemen and you can often catch him sporting his go-to hat which is naturally featured in this shoot. His joyful little personality has been coming through for months now! He is very pensive, extremely observant and full of expressions. He also can recognize faces very well. If you're familiar, he will throw himself into your arms, but if you're new... not so much. He'll maybe just pass along a friendly wave hello. And if you have a big scary beard be prepared for him to burst into tears! ;)

He has always been good at 'cheesing-it-up' on and off camera. Rina's favorite little model! Now, I hope you enjoy our little impromptu ten-month portraits at Dubois Park in Jupiter, Florida!

Keep smiling, Clayton James, Rina loves you!

Brandy + Chris | Royal Palm Commons Park Engagement

Royal Palm Commons Park Engagement

On Saturday, January 27th, 2018, Andrew and I had the pleasure of documenting Chris and Brandy's Royal Palm Commons Park engagement session! It was a cool, sunny morning but extremely windy. Half the session was spent battling the wind! Despite the consistent breeze we were able to capture their gorgeous engagement photos!

Brandy and Chris are such a sweet couple and we are so excited to document their wedding in just over a month! Their wedding will be held at the stunning PGA National Resort & Spa! The theme will be Cinderella inspired, perfect fit for their fairytale love story.

Brandy and Chris, thank you for choosing Andrew and I to document your sweet love! We are so honored to be a part of this special season of your lives! We hope you love your engagement photos!

Family Vacation Portraits in Palm Beach

If there is one thing I love it's capturing gorgeous families while enjoying their vacation! Capturing family memories is such an honor to me because these are the moments my clients will look back on and the photos I capture will become precious, tangible memories they will hold onto for many years to come.

These past few years I have noticed vacation photos are becoming more and more popular! Last year alone we captured over a half a dozen family vacation sessions! This year we are hoping to exceed last year and we are off to a great start!

On January 20th, 2018, we had the honor of capturing these family vacation portraits in Palm Beach, Florida. This was our first session of the year! It was a very cloudy and windy day but the lighting was gorgeous! Early that day there was a Trump protest but by the afternoon there was hardly anyone on the beach!

It was such a pleasure working with this sweet family! We hope they enjoy their family portraits for many years to come!
