Alexis and Manny: South Florida Wedding Photography

I had the pleasure of photographing this couple for an awesome engagement session a few months prior to their wedding day.  As much as I love photographing all wedding couples, I really love photographing a couple for their wedding when we’ve also done engagement photos together, b/c we start the day like old friends.  And having a friend photograph your wedding means they’ll be able to capture more moments that are ‘So You’!  Alexis and Manny were married at the Delray Beach Golf Club, with an indoor ceremony overlooking the lovely golf course, followed by a reception with fun up-lighting that changed color with the music!  There was hora dancing, greek dancing, and plenty of other dancing that didn’t involve circles or lines.  I wish you both a marriage as joyous as your wedding celebration!

I had such an amazing shoot at this location the week before, so I was excited when this family agreed to do their shoot there!  We were rewarded with equally beautiful light, and since we had more time, we found a few more great spots for photos.  I absolutely love all 3 boys in ties and how mom dressed them all so they were coordinated without being too matchy-matchy.  I typically strategize with my families on something fun we can do to bring out their candid personalities so I can capture moments that are ‘So You’.  Naturally, I was thrilled when mom said she planned to bring Silly String, and the giant balloons were a bonus!  Despite a few silly string can malfunctions and popped balloons, the family had a great time, and it made for some entertaining photos. 

Terry, Tara, Layla, and Luke: Ice Cream Store Photo Session

I previously had the pleasure of working with these wonderful parents, and though we no longer work together in my Engineering career, I’m so glad to be able to continue working with them in my photography career!  Their kids are just the cutest.  We started off our session in the ice cream store with some nice family shots, and when the kids no longer were interested in looking and smiling at the camera, that was just fine with me.  We headed outside to enjoy some of the lovely scenery in the area, and captured some sweet family interactions.  Then, we headed back to the ice cream store to cool off and enjoy some sweet treats!

Challenge Fitness First Anniversary

This past Sunday, November 1, 2015, Challenge Fitness celebrated its First Anniversary!  Amy and Jorge are the trainers who lead their clients in Group Personal High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) classes daily.  When Amy and Jorge are in the gym, they are in their element. And when you are privileged enough to work out with them, you're along for the ride. Even if the gym is not your thing, or you're out of shape and think you can't, Amy and Jorge will prove to you that you can. Their enthusiasm is contagious!  Their workouts leave you feeling like you definitely worked out, but not so sore that you can't move the next day. If my timing allowed me to work out with them every day, I absolutely would, and it would never be the same.

Their celebration began with a group workout, followed by hanging out with food trucks, face painting, a bounce house, a gelato cart (don’t worry, we worked off the calories), a tire cake, and a pinata for Amy’s son’s birthday.  A great time was had by all!  Congratulations on your first year, and I wish you the best for many more years to come!

I live near the Old Davie School and spontaneously did a photo session there a few months back.  I’ve been itching to return, and finally did so with this wonderful family.  I also officially have permission and paid the photo fee for this location, so I can continue shooting there with anyone who’d like for the next year!  It was a very relaxed atmosphere, which complemented this family’s sweetness perfectly.  We found some great spots for them to hang out, and I snapped away as they enjoyed each others’ company.  A favorite moment is when I asked them to walk towards me, mom and dad were holding hands.  Dad spontaneously kissed mom’s hand, and when I got the photos on the computer, I noticed a butterfly in the frame!  I could not have planned that if I tried!  K family, it was a pleasure photographing you, and I hope to do so again soon!
