One of my favorite things to do is to let kids be kids. Let’s face it, when we (adults) try so hard to get children to stay still for a photograph, it get’s a little complicated.
Sometimes it’s good to let go, and let the little humans express themselves the best way they know how- by playing.
Aiden is so full of energy, and I really wanted to capture that.
I asked him what his favorite toy today was, and he pulled out his trusty trampoline and told me all about it (while jumping up and down).
I’m so content with how these images came out, and if I would have forced him to sit still, I wouldn’t have captured how authentic and full of life he is.
What are some of your favorite ways to capture kiddies on camera?

Photography: Alexis & Jamal Have a Babyshower
This weekend I had the pleasure of photographing such a special moment for Alexis and Jamal. After many moons together, and being recently married it was time for the newest chapter in their lives. It’s time to celebrate a new life, Aurora Simone.
Their family was so inviting and full of smiles, making my job so much easier.
I’ll be sharing more pictures soon, I hope you enjoy the ones from the event itself.

Photography: Mommy & Amaury
Capture all the memories. Yes, I’m the aunt running around with a camera, trying to make sure I catch it all. These kids are growing so fast, and it’s my job to make sure we never forget the little fingers, the innocent smiles, and the adorable little dimples. Since Amaury will be turning one soon, My sister Jula wanted me to photograph her mini me.
I’ve been dipping my toe in studio photography, and it’s a different world from natural lighting (out door photography). I have to learn how to manipulate and create light where it didn’t exist before. Not to mention, doing that while I have a squirming baby who wasn’t really in the mood to stay still. I told Jula to hop in the picture to make Ama feel a little more comfortable, and will you look at that, it actually worked!
I still have a lot to learn, and I’ll get there in due time, but for now, I’m pretty happy that my sister loved all the pictures, and I get to call that a win!
PS. Amaury’s all white outfit was provided by my trip to Cuba last year, and he has finally grown into it, pero que caballero!
Muchos besos,
Photography: Love from Atlanta
This weekend I was commissioned for a last minute gig… I mean like super last minute. I packed up my bag and ran out the door.
This lovely couple came to NYC from Atlanta, and that’s all I knew beforehand.
When I arrived, Darnell and Z were waiting for me inside a gorgeous Rolls Royce. It was Darnell’s birthday and it was a night to be celebrated.
This couple was so sweet and so affectionate towards each other. I loved how happy they were to just being together. It was as if it was just them against the world.
I wish them nothing but the best in their future. Thanks for letting me a part of your special day.
