Sneak Peek: Christie and Albert at the Miami Tower

I love weddings in between skyscrapers.There is something about downtown that’s so electric and daring.

For their wedding, Christie and Albert chose the historic Gesu Catholic Church and the Miami Tower— both iconic landmarks of downtown Miami.

Love this gracious couple and their equally warm families.

A special thanks to Mike and Michelle from Michael Burgos Films for being so incredibly easy to work with.

On the Grass

Two days after their wedding, Shireen and Andrew met me at the gorgeous Vizcaya Museum to create some more magic.

It was just two people in love, a pair of film cameras and one giddy photographer.

This is just a little peak of what we got that day. Can’t wait to share the rest.

Motherhood

Somehow she always knows. It’s in the sound of my voice or the catch in breath—if there is something wrong, all she needs to hear is my voice and she knows. I’ve always been fascinated by this gift of my mother’s. I didn’t understand it until I got older. This gift is the simple act of being present; of listening; of knowing your kids. I talk to my mom everyday. I’m 31 and I still call her every day if only to let her know that I’m alive and well. If only to hear her voice. She is everything that I want to be as a mom.

Up until now, I’ve only ever been an awed observer. Until this little blessing started growing inside me, motherhood was something that I could only experience as a child or witness as an outsider. Now, I get to take part. In my life I’ve been surrounded by shining examples of motherhood beginning with my mom and my grandmother. I’ve also been incredibly blessed to be able to photograph motherhood from it’s early stages and through the years.

Here’s to all the mom’s who show up, who love fiercely, who know. I celebrate you every day.

Happy Mother’s day you fierce mommas.

And to my Mami, thank you for always knowing. I love you.

Sneak Peek: Shireen and Andrew at La Gorce

I’m pretty much obsessed with these two. Shireen’s smile explains why. It’s hard not to look a beautiful bride like her and a couple so in love like them and not be infected by their happiness. This wedding, held at the gorgeous La Gorce County Club, was peaceful and emotional and all those good things in between. And lets not talk about their day after session. I was gushing, more on that later, and probably said the word awesome more times than a respectable english major should admit.

A very special thanks to Shanti of Events by Shanti for her flawless planning and the Mike and Michelle of Michael Burgos Films for being so easy to work with.
