Kyle's Jupiter Senior Portrait at Dubois Park

Kyle's Jupiter Senior Portrait at Dubois Park

On Saturday, September 2nd, Andrew and I had the pleasure of capturing Kyle's Jupiter senior portrait at Dubois Park. Kyle's session took place on a gorgeous South Florida day.

Blue skies, teal waves, and tall palm trees filled the scene of these Florida-style senior portraits. Dubois Park was the perfect backdrop for this Jupiter shoot! If you love dreamy South Florida scenes, you'll love this session!

Kyle, thank you for allowing us to capture your High-School Senior portraits at Dubois Park! We wish you the best Senior year and a bright future! Enjoy your senior portraits!

We started our session at the Pioneer House at Dubois Park in Jupiter, Florida.  The Pioneer House makes a great spot for portraits! 

Then we walked east, capturing photos along the way.  Some of my favorite shots! The light was gorgeous that day!! 

Then we captured a few photos along Jupiter's rocky inlet. Such a great spot for portraits during the late afternoon! 

Afterward, we moved towards the beach for some dreamy photos in the sand. 

Then we captured a few more portraits along the Eastern part of the rocky Jupiter inlet.  Some more favorites! 

As the sky became more and more golden we headed west. This is one of my favorite scenes at sunset! Palm trees, sail boats and golden hour---Perfection. 

That perfect golden light!  We ended our session on the docks at the Dubois Park marina. The Jupiter Lighthouse is a gorgeous sight at sunset!

The Chua Family | Singer Island Family Vacation Portraits

Singer Island Family Vacation Portraits at Ocean Reef Beach

On Tuesday, August 22nd, Andrew and I had the pleasure of capturing the Chua family's Singer Island family vacation portraits. They were vacationing on Singer Island all the way from Canada!

Where do I begin with this family? They might have been the sweetest family we have ever worked with! Not only were they always ready for the camera, looking picture perfect, but they also brought us the sweetest gift of organic maple syrup from Canada! How sweet is that!? I seriously love my "job"!

Their session took place at Ocean Reef Beach & Park on a breezy afternoon. The tide was high and the waves were crashing into the rocky shore. It was a gorgeous day to capture photos at this beach.

Chua family, Thank you so much for allowing Andrew and I the pleasure of documenting your South Florida vacation memories! You all were a wonderful to work with and we hope you enjoy your vacation portraits! Thanks again for the delicious maple syrup!

We started by capturing a few quick portraits on the deck that leads to the beach. The light was too dreamy not to!

Then we headed to my favorite part of the beach--the coral rock! 

His smiles were the best. Momma with her kiddos. How cute are they!?Those smiles! Check out the way the waves were crashing against the rocks! One of my favorites! How sweet is this shot!?These crashing waves were just awesome! Another favorite!  Our session ended overlooking this dreamy pastel sky! Chua family, thank you so much again for choosing Crystal Bolin Photography to capture your Singer Island family vacation portraits! We hope to work with you all again![line]

The Carter Family | Palm Beach Family Portraits

Palm Beach Family Portraits at Bethesda by the Sea

On Saturday, August 19th, Andrew and I had the pleasure of capturing the Carter's Palm Beach family portraits! The Carters have been our dear friends for nearly a decade and in April of this year, they added a new member to their family--Clayton James! He is such a joyful baby and they are the cutest family! You might remember their Christmas portraits from last year when Brooke was rockin' a cute bump! Now C.J. is here and we were honored to capture their first family portraits!

When Frank and Brooke asked us to be C.J.'s godparents we were, and still are, so honored! He is such a fun little one and we love this excuse to spoil him a bit! I think he already knows that when he comes to Rina & Rino's (our official nicknames) house my camera is bound to come out and he smiles for me almost everytime!

If you're wondering how our nicknames came about... Well, Brooke and I came up with them because they are short for madrina and padrino which is the name for godmother and godfather in Spanish and Italian. Since I am Cuban, speak Spanish and we were in Italy when he was born we thought the names were fitting! Plus it's fun to have a unique nickname! Now let's see if C.J. actually uses it when the day comes!

Frank and Brooke, thank you for being our dear friends! Watching you both step into this new season as parents has been such a joy and privilege to witness! You both are amazing parents!! We are so thankful for you guys and we hope you enjoy your first family portraits with C.J.!

Elisa + Brian | Red Reef Beach Engagement

Red Reef Beach Engagement in Boca Raton, Florida

On Saturday, August 12, 2017, Andrew and I had the pleasure of documenting Elisa and Brian's Red Reef Beach Engagement in Boca Raton, Florida. Their session was filled with sweet smiles and gorgeous beach scenes! They chose Red Reef Beach and Park because it has been a special place to them, for a while. They will also be tying the knot here in May 2018!

Elisa and Brian are such a sweet couple! They were referred to us by a mutual friend of ours (Thanks, Sheri)! These two were constantly laughing and beaming! It is always nice having a joyful couple in front of my camera!

Elisa and Brian, thank you so much for allowing Andrew and I the pleasure of capturing your engagement photos! It was so nice meeting and working with you both! We are so excited to document your wedding next year!

Our session began along the upper deck at Red Reef Beach and Park.

A spot where they have watched many sunrises together. 

This is the spot where they may be saying "I DO" in MAY! 

Then while they changed into their second outfit it was time for some ring shots! 

Next, we walked down to the beach for a few casual portraits.

We finished our session relaxing with the ants on a grassy hill...oops! ;) Thanks again Elisa and Brian! We hope you enjoy your engagement photos! See you in May!
