I love the ballet!

Going to the ballet is such a treat. The story, emotions, dancing... I love it all!

Recently, I was honored with the opportunity to go behind the scenes of the Cuban Classical Ballet of Miami and do what I love to do. That in itself, was more than enough to make me happy. To add the frosting on the cake, I was told that one of my photos would be used in an add for their 2010 season premier of Sleeping Beauty.

Now I get to share it with all of you! Here's the copy of the program from the Miami Hispanic Ballet program containing my photo.

Yami and Louis are Hitched

May I just start off by saying how much fun I had shooting this wedding?!?  Before I met Yami and Luis, I liked the idea of shooting weddings...  Now I LOVE IT!   They are such a down to earth couple.  We sat to talk before the big day and they described their vision of what they wanted their day to be. Something intimate with close relatives was their first response...   Then a night filled with all those they love, laughter and good ol' fun.  All of the components that made me fall in love with photography in the first place.   

It was such a treat to have experienced my first wedding with such a great couple willing to do anything fun for a great shot.  

We had a great time, hope you all enjoy these pictures as

 much as I enjoyed taking them.  :)

Yami was a DIY kind of girl.  She put together her own arrangement along with her bridesmaids.

The other man in Yami's life... Her son Zac.






First look.






Already learning to be the perfect husband...  ;)



She couldn't resist.

Hmmmm??  Is this what the future holds?

Congratulations Yami and Louis!!

A princess Audrey Sophia is on the way...

And what better than to shower her with some love!  

Audrey is already a very lucky girl.  Her parents Hazel and Carly and the rest of the family could not be happier about her arrival.  She will be the couples first little girl.  To celebrate, the family put together the perfect girly shower.

How cute is Brandon practicing his big brotherly love?

Thanks Alvarez family for including me in another special family occasion!

Birthday fun for Dylan!

May 30th Dylan's family and friends got together to celebrate his 1st birthday!  What a celebration it was!  His family outdid themselves... There was music, non stop games, entertainment and food.  You name it, they had it.  

Everyone had a great time celebrating the first of his many special b-days and I had an even more fabulous time capturing it all!  

Here are a few teasers from this very special occasion.
