South Florida Family Photographer | Pompano Beach | Family Vacation
I got to meet this sweet family from Massachusetts last year when they came on vacation to spend Thanksgiving with family. It was a bit of Déjà vu since they have three boys, just about same age gaps as my own and we share one name...It was wonderful documenting some sweet and happy memories from their trip, lots of interaction, play time with one another, shy and fun times. Older boys were great at martial arts and little guy was all about happy birthday song!
Enjoy!
South Florida Family Photographer | West Palm Beach FL | Thatcher is Two
Hi there! Finally playing catch up on this side of my business and making my come back with this sweet boy's session to document his second birthday milestones! Mom and I brainstormed a few ideas and she called out this place where they serve his favorite breakfast meal at the time, açaí bowl! Plus the surrounding areas are so amazing we did quite a bit of exploring before they started serving and a little bit afterwards. I had not seen him in about a year and he was as sweet and funny as the last time I saw him. He is curious, loved picking up rocks, shells, jumping on puddles, he climbed up stairs very carefully on his own. He got to devour his açaí bowl in between. He recognized his initial when he saw letter "T" in a wall...Brilliant! Towards the end of our walk, his dad caught a lizard and it was fascinating to watch Thatcher interact so gently with it.
As always I love documenting this sweet family...So grateful for their trust and opportunity to watch their little human grow into such a wonderful big boy!
I let him snap a photo of his mom when she had his breakfast ready for him and this is what he got!
Although I got a flat tire as soon as I drove away, it all got better when I got this text from his mom while I was getting my tire repaired...It genuinely made my heart so happy...Thank you Brooke!!
South Florida Newborn and Family in home Photographer | Boca Raton FL | Enzo
It was a dream to work with this family once again. About a week after Enzo's Fresh 48 in hospital session, I met this sweet family at their home for Enzo's newborn session. Enzo's sweet mom was recovering wonderfully. Baby Enzo wasn't fully settled so we started off our session with mom feeding him and then big brother, Abel, helped out feeding his baby brother...It was so precious! Abel was the most loving, gentle, sweet big brother! We did some sibling, family, and parents shots. We then moved on to Enzo's solo portion of the session which he started to wake up so we tried feeding him the last bit of his bottle, but he did not have it...Meanwhile, mom was prepping him another bottle and it was so funny to see how the new bottle perfectly warmed up did the trick. We moved on to a dose of baby cuddles that helped him fall deep asleep again. Baby Enzo did amazing during his session and gave me so many expressions to die for, from smiles, to funny, to sweet sleepy vibes.
At this point, mom and I asked Abel to kiss his baby brother and his response went straight to my heart...
Abel blew ME a kiss...It was the sweetest moment ever! He is so loving, a great listener and he absolutely stole my heart!
Just when we thought baby Enzo had a full belly and dreaming away, he would give us a one-eye check up a few times before he deeply fell asleep.
South Florida Newborn and Family Photographer | Coral Springs FL | Fresh 48
Where do I begin to express my excitement about this Fresh 48 in hospital session. When I walked into this sweet family's room, there was dad, big brother Abel, a family friend that traveled from Oklahoma where they used to live, who was helping them taking care of big brother, and last but not least Baby Enzo was in mom's arms feeding. This is what I love most about this type of sessions...It is all about documenting the new moments and loving on their newest little blessing. They had the most beautiful soft accent which happens to be from South Africa. Baby Enzo is their little Christmas baby, born shy a couple of weeks from Christmas. Mom had brought the most adorable blanket and hat, wait till you see!
When there is an "older" sibling, I make sure to pay as much attention to them as their world has just turned upside down sharing mom and dad with someone else, but also give them their space to approach baby --or not-- and follow their lead and reaction. However, Abel was so sweet towards baby brother, but quickly turned to playtime with his cars and treats mom and dad had lined up for him. At the end he got a Santa pez and I asked him what was in it expecting him to tell me candy, but his reply was "sweeties" in such an adorable voice. Needless to say, here are the images of one of my favorite sessions of 2018!
South Florida Family Photographer | Pompano Beach FL| Extended Family
It was truly an honor to have been asked, by Marisa, one of the daughters to photograph her extended family while they visited Florida with her husband, their three little girls, her parents, her sister and brother. Their dad had become ill and this vacation was very meaningful to them. Every year their parents would spend some time here in Florida and this trip the whole family came together to enjoy some quality time. This area in Pompano Beach holds lots of memories for them so the location was locked in right away.
Their connection was beautiful, they were all so enjoyable and super easy going. Grandma and Grandpa also lived in New Mexico, different city from where I lived with my family, but it was so wonderful to learn their story and witness the love they have for each other. The three little girls were magic! Two older girls loved on their baby sister who reciprocated the love just as much.
I am beyond humbled to have had the opportunity to make these special memories for this amazing family. They continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
