I have always been fascinated by photography. I have spent countless hours studying photographs of people, while considering the angles, the lighting, and the editing the photographer used. I love the fact that photography has the amazing ability to transport us to a different time, or place with one single shot.
It was not until I started blogging that I decided to take photography more seriously. With camera in hand, I started experimenting with photographs of my apartment, of friends, and family. It was after experimenting in this way that I realized my passion for photography. I have no formal training or background in this field, but I realize that passion can open your eyes to the impossible, so not only did I invest in the proper equipment I also spent the necessary time to learn everything I could to enhance the skill it takes to be proficient with this passion.
I enjoy, and appreciate the opportunity to photograph bloggers, couples, influencers who make an impact in their profession, families, and also lifestyle type setting. I take an individual approach to each person I photograph. I make every effort to embrace and highlight the focus of what they are trying to convey to their audience with each session.
I look forward to working together and capturing the potential magnificence of your moments through my eyes and the lens of my camera.
WHY: This 250-room oceanfront property was originally designed in the 1950’s by famed architect Morris Lapidus. The retro Nautilus Cabana Club not only features a 1,890 square foot salt water pool but it is the ideal spot to snap some Slim Aaron inspired photos. After the pool, be sure to throw on your Rebecca Taylor ‘Ella’ dress and enjoy the Driftwood Room, a sexy restaurant with a Southern France vibe, Miami palate and locally sourced ingredients.
Ah, the smell of summer: fresh cut grass, burgers on the grill, and that plastic smell from your new pool floaty. This is how you knew summer had truly arrived! I still remember visiting my friends house in Houston and this particular house always had the best pool floats. You remember, that really large whale (which was the only option in the 80s/90s) who took up half the pool and those colorful noodles. Ah, life was good! It has taken a solid 20 years for any new pool toys worth mentioning to come out but these retro/cool floats are back! Last summer when I was heading to Nantucket I searched and searched for the swan to bring and enjoy in the pool but to no avail. It was literally sold out everywhere. This year, I am not letting them slip away again. Now I just need to buy this hat, this book, and one of these floats and let summer slowly pass me by while I enjoy it from the pool.
