Debra + Derik [South Florida Engagement Shoots]

I am super happy to share a couple of my favorite photos from an engagement shoot this weekend. Debra and Derik were visiting South Florida and staying at the amazing Fontainbleau Hotel on Miami Beach. Our plan was to wake up early and do a sunrise engagement photo shoot on the beach.  We had been having our typical amazing spring weather so we thought we would have a golden sunrise over the ocean. Well, unfortunately the weather did not cooperate with us and it was gloomy, gray, windy and wet! This is a perfect example that “bad” weather can still make really great photos. Debra and Derik had such great attitudes and we snapped these up between the sprinkles and under a shelter!!  Congrats to the happy couple and I hope you have an AMAZING wedding in Boston!!

Miami Sand Angels [South Florida Family Photography]

This picture is for all my peeps in the frozen northeast. I wanted to post this pic because I was talking to a good friend last night about our weekends. While I was photographing kids making sand angles on a lake beach in Miami, she was making snow angels with her kids by a lake in New Hampshire. It is remarkable to me how different and how the same our lives can be.   We also spotted the first baby duckies of the year: five fluffy floating golf balls drifting behind their mama on the lake. So here are my sand angels, Kriya and Lucas during our Valentines shoot.  Looking forward to seeing your snow angels this year!!

Kriya & Lucas [South Florida Family Photography]

Kriya & Lucas are hysterically awesome.  One, they are beautiful kids so it is hard to take a bad picture of them. But two, they are fun and smart and full of personality so the pictures you do get are that much more powerful. We did this family shoot for a Valentines Card.  The kids came dressed in perfect outfits and had tons of ideas for fun stuff to do. Here are just a few of my favorites but it was so hard to choose!!
