Wynwood Lifestyle Family Photo Session | Susan, Brett, Riley, & Coby

This session from last fall was special. When a family tells me they want to dress up and take photos in an urban setting, my answer is always, “yes please!” We started shooting just before dark, so by the time their outfit change was complete, the sun had set, and we continued shooting into the night for a unique after dark effect! This family brought lots of love and fun, and I admired how well these siblings got along! I hope they always love each other this much! And if they do fight, as most brothers and sisters do, I hope they will look fondly on these moments, frozen in time.

I’m scheduling sessions for this fall. October weekends are almost full, but if you’re looking for a September or November session, click the contact button to find out Erica’s availability to freeze time for your family!

Danny's Mitzvah Pre Shoot | Wynwood Miami Photo Shoot

This session was special. This family was such a joy to photograph. They were completely relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera, and it shows! And once mom shared a video of Danny doing some aerial Tae Kwan Do earlier this weekend, we of course had to incorporate lots of action shot into the rest of our photo session. I even made a gif of him doing an awesome cartwheel, keep scrolling! I am so looking forward to capturing his mitzvah later this fall!

I met this family through mutual friends a few years ago, and we’ve kept in touch on Facebook ever sense. They are a really fun family, so I was especially excited when mom called me a few months ago to inquire about mitzvah photography. Yes, please! I photographed the Thursday morning service, then an awesome kids party with video games from Go Mobile Games Miami on Thursday night, and a bar mitzvah bash at their home on Saturday night. This simcha was well celebrated, and I was honored to be there to capture it all!

Brit Milah Photographer | Ronnie's Bris | Cooper City, FL

The brit milah (bris) is when a Jewish boy receives his Hebrew name and is circumcised on the 8th day of life. The circumcision is performed by a mohel, and this mohel has a special cover for the chair of Elijah. He has kept count of the number of women who have sat on the chair, and have become pregnant with a boy within a year, and whose bris he then performs. My eldest son, who became a Bar Mitzvah at 13 this year, was chair baby number 1,000! Today, he said he’s up to over 1,600.

I’ve really enjoyed watching this family grow. We have a newborn session scheduled for later this week, so I was super excited when mom called me this am to see if I was available to photograph her new son’s bris! I have an appreciation for attending and capturing life cycle events. Everyone in attendance was filled with love in welcoming this new baby to the community, and I hope I captured some of that.
