Riley grabbed the giraffe stuffed animal and giggled– it was the first time she giggled during the session and I LOVED it!  The two tiny dimples near her mouth became evident and her eyes lit up.  The rest of the session required lots of funny faces to try to get her cute little smile to […]

Joseph is determined to make family a priority.  He is making an effort to reunite with his sisters regularly and is making sure his kids know their cousins.  Joseph and Yael’s family traveled all the way from Tel Aviv to spend a week with their family.  Sandy and Israel’s family traveled from Cleveland and Shoshana […]

  Melody and I have known each other since 2008.  She was my vice president in the Vietnamese Student Associate at the University of Florida.  Through the 10 years of friendship, not much has changed as far as Melody’s sweet, positive, and understanding personality.  She’s always had a way of easing your fears and making […]

The Velasco family walked towards me and all I saw were smiles on everyone’s faces.  I immediately thought “what beautiful smiles!”  Leticia (mom) said her kids were not morning people but I would have never guessed!  Mya, Mateo, and Gabby were so energetic and happy!  I seriously couldn’t ask for better behaved kids!  Every time […]

  It all started with me almost getting her arrested in 2003.  Thoa and I have shared 15 years of friendship and it has been one heck of a journey!  It started outside of Iguana’s nightclub in Miami when I passed her a 21 year old ID to get her in.  The bouncer obviously didn’t […]

I’ve had the pleasure of having the Marjason family in front of my camera twice now and they are always so much fun to capture.  When I think about “family goals” I picture their family.  Both Lyzz and Chris work full time jobs all the while caring for their 3 active girls.  Between dance practices, […]

It’s been almost a year since I had this beautiful couple in front of my camera.  I feel so honored to have Alex and Lina drive 3 hours to Orlando to have me capture their holiday photos with their cute little frenchie, Theodore.  They’ve been married for almost a year now and I have enjoyed […]

  Hokin, Yen, and I met before the sun even came up at Clearwater beach for their maternity session.  It was a cold and windy morning but we all agreed that the weather was better than what we experienced in all our other hot and humid sessions together.  I am so honored to help capture […]

  Our session with Ronnie and Quyen at Ponce Inlet might have been the easiest shoot I’ve ever done.  These two are NATURALS in front of the camera.  Ronnie doesn’t even need prompts- he’s like a model who moves from one pose to the next after he hears the shutter click.   Not only were they […]

“Grandpa, give me a big smile.. bigger.. just a little bigger” Two minutes later, we put Callan in grandpa’s arms and an instant smile came upon his face. My favorite types of interactions are with Asian grandparents and their grandkids.  Coming from parents who were not very affectionate, I have witness how grandkids can completely […]
