Love is sweet, and so are these two. Last Saturday I met with Mona and Matt to shoot their engagement session and I really enjoyed our time shooting and also getting to know them. Mona and Matt are super adorable. Can’t wait for their wedding day coming up in October!









Mona will make such a beautiful bride!



Love this photo for some reason…


We headed down to our next location for more portraits. They turned out just beautiful…






I love how they laugh together and how much they adore each other.



Back from the continuation of my session the other day, I want to share some awesome shots I captured of Brianna. This girl can make any parent proud for sure. Besides being beautiful and such a sweetheart, Brianna also loves to play tennis and she is really good at it. She is only 8 years old and competes against high school kids, and let me tell you… she doesn’t give them a break! :)



I was really impressed by Brianna’s talent! She didn’t miss one single shot.

I love to shoot families.. I don’t do it very often but it’s really something I enjoy and I definitely should do more. It gives me the chance to get to know them and to hear a little about their story. I look their photos and I see love. Pure love. To one another, to their children. To me this is the key for everything – Love. While capturing these images I witnessed so much happiness, so many sincere smiles. I look at it and I see a strong couple, who are there for each other no matter which problems they may have.. I see great parents, who love their children so much and for them what matters is always to stick together.. as a family. I am saying that not only because I know this family, since they are my friends. But also because I know a bit of their story. Family is a powerful word. Takes a lot time and effort to build something strong like that. Families are the compass that guide us in life and at the end it’s all you got.
Meet the Clayton’s:


Their beautiful girls.


Brianna is a very sweet girl.

Juju is absolutely adorable!




Juju started eating grapes while I was shooting her, then I heard her dad saying, “Great time to photograph, this is one typical juju’s moment”! :)

Bill and Betania make such a beautiful couple.


Isn’t she a gorgeous Brazilian?!



Many blessings for your beautiful family Betania and Bill! Thank you for sharing these moments with me…
It’s impossible not to post tons of photographs of these two! Every time I shoot Jussara and David I have a really hard time choosing the photos to blog because there are so many beautiful ones that makes absolutely hard to pick the favorites. The same happened with their wedding photos, I even needed two blog posts to show all the photos I wanted. Check it out on Part I and Part II of their wedding blog post.
I love these two so much and can’t believe it’s almost time to celebrate their first anniversary! We met to do their vintage style Portraits and trash the dress a little and the photos speak for themselves… stunning…


Sooo gorgeous!!!










The beautiful Bouquet was made by God’s Garden Treasures.



We changed the look for some more portraits!


















This past Sunday I photographed a Baptism of a little boy also named Nicholas :). It took place at the St. Thomas Aquinas Church in Avondale. They are such a sweet family! I hope they have many blessings to come!

Nicholas for sure was an adorable little boy..

Love the way how Nicholas looks at his mom on this photo…
