Marley makes Maverick a Big Brother | Lifestyle Newborn Photographer | Miami, FL

Marley’s newborn session felt extra special because this family has been part of my story for so long. Just a few weeks ago we photographed Caitlin’s maternity session at Amelia Earhart Park, and now here we were welcoming her sweet baby boy. Maverick stepped into his new role as big brother with so much pride, and their labradoodle Fitz was right there with him. Fitz is so freaking sweet, gentle and curious, and he made sure to stay close and be part of whatever was happening.

The house was full of that soft, happy new‑baby energy. Maverick kept checking on Marley, touching his tiny hands and leaning in close like he already understood how important he is. Fitz followed along, settling near him and giving us those perfect big‑brother dog moments that add so much heart to lifestyle newborn sessions. Watching Caitlin with her two boys was beautiful, especially knowing how recently we captured her anticipation and excitement.

As a South Florida family photographer, these are the milestones I love documenting, the ones that show a family growing right in front of you. From maternity to newborn, from one child to two, it is all part of the same story. If you are welcoming a new baby and want photography that feels warm, natural and true to your family, I would be honored to photograph your next chapter.

Welcoming a Newborn | Brit Milah (Bris) Photographer | Miami, FL

This brit milah was such a tender celebration for their first baby. You could feel those new‑parent emotions the moment I walked in, that mix of excitement, awe and pure love. Their little boy was so alert and adorable, witnessing firsts with those bright newborn eyes. The ceremony took place in their home surrounded by family and friends, and the parents kept sharing these quiet looks with each other that said everything about how much they were taking in.

I love photographing the lifestyle side of lifecycle events, capturing the real moments that unfold naturally. I typically shoot mitzvahs, so returning to the very beginning of it all felt meaningful in a different way. Watching brand‑new parents hold their first baby reminded me how quickly these stages pass. With my second of two heading off to college this year, it was a gentle reminder of how beautiful and fleeting it all is.

As a South Florida photographer, these are the moments I treasure documenting, the beginnings, the milestones and the celebrations that shape a family’s story. If you are welcoming a new baby or planning a lifecycle event and want photography that feels warm, natural and true to your family, I would be honored to be part of it.
