La Familia Garcia Peréz

I had the most beautiful pleasure of meeting la familia Garcia Perez this past week, they recently reunited here in South Florida for a family reunion. They came from various destinations including NY, Colombia, and Costa Rica, however, because of their beautiful chemistry and bond, you wouldn’t think that they were all living apart from each other. Here is a little sneak peek to their in studio family session.

Nicholas Lifestyle Newborn Session |Huntington, New York

What I love most about being a newborn photographer is that I get to witness and capture couples growing into parents. This is even more special, when I’ve known the couple beyond that journey, like Matt and Alyssa. Alyssa is my baby sister and she met Matt back in college. They continued their journey together after college and got married a few years later, this year this lovable family grew by one.  

Now as parents, they continue to grow together. Seeing my baby sister as a mom has been amazing for me, and as they welcomed little Nicholas to their home it was a complete dream for our entire family. We were able to also introduce to Nicholas his first cousin, Jaime Alberto, who was born just 3 weeks earlier, and with that we were able to get them together for part of their session, which made this session even more special.

One of my favorite features of this cute little nursery, is the woodland mobile created from scratch and with a lot of love by our mom. It came out so beautiful and it brought a lot of life and personality to Nicholas’ room.

Enjoy a few favorites from their journey and yes, it’s ok to feel your heart grow a little from all the cuteness. 

Olivia’s Newborn Session | Pembroke Pines | South Florida

Olivia at 3 weeks old was nothing short of a beauty in her mini newborn session. She didn’t want to rest for most part of her session, but once she fell asleep, she was just a pure angel with her milky smooth skin. Session took place in Shots of Luv’s Home Studio and mommy requested a lovely Blush Pink with some floral hints.

Benjamin’s Baptism

I had the pleasure to capture Benjamin’s newborn session about nine months ago, and this past month I was honored to capture his holy baptism.  The baptism took place at St. John’s XXIII Catholic Parish Church located in Miramar, Florida.  After the beautiful ceremony, family and friends gathered for an intimate reception at Piola, an italian based pizzeria restaurant located in Pembroke Pines, Florida.  The decorations for the reception where kept simple, delicate and earthy, they had a mix of white with touches of green and gold keeping the atmosphere fresh and airy.

The cake was divine, it was a white cake showered in green leaves with a beautiful golden cross that gave it the perfect touch, the cake was made by Miami based baker Tina’s Original Cake, located in Doral, Florida.  The Flowers and Centerpieces, where created by Perfect Choice Nursery, located in the Southwest Ranches here in West Broward, the flowers where simple and brought the entire environment together for the event.  The beautiful earthy stationary that was used throughout the reception including throughout the cake table where designed by Maria Pachecom and where brought to Florida all the way from Venezuela.  The various desserts that adorned the cake table where created with love by Aildeana Rincon who came for the special event from Venezuela.  The final touch that the cake table had was the beautiful gold and white balloons that where put together by Milangela Mendoza.

Benjamin’s mom, Mariela planned the entire occasion from head to toe, and it was nothing less than perfect.

Hope you enjoy the mini gallery I am sharing below of this wonderful occasion.

Scarlett’s 1st Birthday Session and Baby Announcement

Back in June of 2018 I had the opportunity to head to NYC and document a day with baby Scarlette. We took some time at her home in Ridgewood, New York where we took some Baby Announcements with Scarlette and her mommy. At lunch time we headed to Forest Park in Woodhaven and strolled through the mini forest in the middle of the city. We ended our day visiting the Pint Shop, an ice mini shop created from the original Ice Cream Museum in New York City’s Lower West Side.

Martha’s Maternity Session | Tree Tops Park | Davie, Florida

One of the most special parts of this beautiful maternity session is the fact that this was my true first maternity session as Shots of Luv. I was honored to get the opportunity to capture Martha as she glowed the entire time with love and affection as her and her beautiful growing family awaited the welcoming of their little princess. The bond they have for each other showed naturally through my camera. What I also loved about this session was the soft lighting that the shade of the trees helped bring through our location, it soften the luminance while bringing glow at all the perfect places.
