Priscilla + Esteban | 25th Wedding Anniversary Family Portraits
25th Wedding Anniversary Family Portraits in Palm Beach, Florida
On Sunday, August 6th, 2017, Andrew and I had the pleasure of documenting Priscilla and Esteban's 25th wedding anniversary family portraits! Priscilla was referred to us by Danielle whose photos we had taken the week before! When Priscilla and I chatted for the first time she told me about her idea of doing an elegant family portrait shoot in honor of her and Esteban's 25th wedding anniversary!
We then chatted about outfits and locations. She described their outfits and explained how she wanted an elegant location. One of the first places that came to mind was Bethesda by the Sea! The second look was still elegant but was going to be a bit more casual. We quickly began talking about The Flagler Museum, and The Palm Beach Lake Trail right next door! And just like that, the locations were set!
The session started at Bethesda by the Sea where we capture their more formal portraits. Their elegant attire fit perfectly with the venue and couldn't have been any more perfect! When it was time to head to the second location they changed into their second outfits which incorporated more colors that really popped against the grand Flagler Museum gate. As if their session couldn't get any better they also brought their ADORABLE poodle, named Penny who was also dressed to impress--pearl necklace and all!
Priscilla and Esteban, thank you for allowing us the honor of documenting such a wonderful milestone in your love story. It was truly a pleasure meeting you and your family! We hope to work with you again in the future!

Danielle + John | Palm Beach Maternity Photos
Palm Beach Maternity Photos at Worth Avenue & the Flagler Museum
On Thursday, July 27th, 2017, Andrew and I had the pleasure of working with Danielle and John again to capture their Palm Beach maternity photos! Their session took place on Worth Avenue and just outside the Flagler Museum in Palm Beach, Florida.
You may remember John and Danielle because we captured their engagement photos and their wedding day over two years ago! Having them back in front of our camera was the best! They are such a sweet couple and a pleasure to work with!
We love being a part of our couples' journeys through life. Being a part of the wedding day is an honor but it's just the beginning. When we are welcomed back to capture every momentous milestone in our couples' lives is the true honor.
Thank you, Danielle and John, for allowing us the pleasure of being a part of another special time in your lives! We wish you all the best in this wonderful new season of life and can't wait to meet John Jr.!
We started our session on Worth Avenue, Palm Beach.
Then we headed over to the Flagler Museum for a few shots in front of the elegant black gate! How cute are they!?
Love these next shots! Just before sunset, we walked over to the Palm Beach Lake Trail to capture some sunset portraits overlooking the inter-coastal!

Trip to Italy: Tuscany | Part: IV Florence + Pisa
Florence, Italy
On the third day in Tuscany, we spent the whole day in Florence. We visited a leather factory, then had a guided tour by a local guide and had a ton of free time for eating and shopping! Florence is such a large lively city filled with so much history!
We started our day early to spend the whole day exploring this incredible city! First stop was a leather factory and shop! Then we had a bit of free time that we spent in a coffee shop of course! Fun fact: The Netflix show Medici: Masters of Florence gives such an interesting view into the lives of the Medici family and how Florence became what it is today! Then we began our guided tour of Florence! Loved the architecture in Florence!
It wasn't a good day for this bike...
This was Michelangelo's childhood home!
And that was our day in Florence!
Pisa, Italy
On the fourth day in Tuscany we spent a good chunk of the day traveling to Venice, but before arriving in Venice we stopped in Pisa, Italy! Seeing the Leaning Tower of Pisa was a sight to see! After taking too many photos, we walked around the adorable town and found Andrew a bakery that finally had some Cannolis! He had been looking for some the whole trip! I also got my favorite, a Lobster Tail Pastry and it was SO GOOD!!
Then we were off to Venice!!

Singer Island Lifestyle Family Portraits
Singer Island Lifestyle Family Portraits
On July 25th, we had the pleasure of documenting some Singer Island lifestyle family portraits and some senior portraits as well! Half the session was dedicated to family vacation portraits and the other to Alison for her high school senior portraits! Their session took place at Ocean Reef Park and Beach in Singer Island.
Alison's High-School Senior Portraits
We started the session by capturing Alison's Singer Island destination senior portraits! The weather was gorgeous and there were just enough clouds to create perfect lighting! Alison wore a gorgeous black dress that really stood out against the pastel background.Then we just changed views and this is what happened... Magic! These were my favorite shots from her session! Then we captured a few more by the water! How gorgeous is this scene!?
Family Beach Portraits
Then it was time for some Singer Island lifestyle family portraits! They are such a great family and it was such a pleasure working with them!
