2011-12-14T22:06:00.000-05:00

This couple is definitely one of a kind. They are just amazing together. They are always joking around and having a great time. Nelson is one of those guys that does the impossible to see his girl happy. I really enjoyed being part of their big day! Here are a few pictures, I will post more later...

{Ani + Manny} = Baby Julio

2011-11-15T22:14:00.002-05:00

Facebook has made it so easy to post images, that I have neglected my blog. Sorry fans!!! I had the privilege to photograph a childhood friend of mine. FB connected us again and since then, we have managed to stay in touch and have learned to love each other again like when we were 6-years old. Twenty-one years later and we still have so much in common...Anyway, this blog is not about Ani and me, but about her family (which includes Pouza and their baby boy Julio Enrique). Even though we had a rainy day, we managed to get awesome images. I hope you enjoy them.

{Jeanique + Darren} = Beach Wedding

2011-09-26T21:48:00.001-04:00

Jeanique and Darren were just an amazing couple. This wedding was planned in two days and it couldn't be nicer, with all the special touches arranged by Betty from Miami Wedding Planner. She managed to pull it off in such little time. Only a blessed couple and a blessed wedding planner can do this ;-)
For now, enjoy a few images.... The Bride and Groom are too cute together. Oh, the Father of the bride was just tooooo handsome (I mean no disrespect)

{Jose Miguel} = Marlen and Nelsito's Bundle of Joy

2011-08-23T22:23:00.000-04:00

Kayly is one of those newborn babies that already looks 3 months old. She is huge! When I saw her, I wanted to keep her... I just love to photograph newborn babies. Kayly is perfectly adorable and seriously squishy! and the brothers..hmmm, my daughter was in love!! Kathy and Mykel, I hope you enjoy these pictures.

Baby Julian

2011-06-15T21:38:00.000-04:00

2011-05-31T21:01:00.001-04:00

Yesterday I had a Maternity Session with one of my past clients. It was very nice to see her again. She looked amazing. She has the MOST perfect belly I have ever seen in my life. Anaily and Alex look adorable together. She is tiny and he is huge..at least looks huge next to her. LOL. Great combination!!!

{Árpád (Tommy) + Abigél} = Hungarian Wedding

2011-05-25T20:23:00.000-04:00

This Wedding was absolutly Gorgeous! I'm starting to like this small, intimate weddings more. For some reason the couples seem to be more in love...They are more concerned about each other. These two were crazy about one another. It was just lovely. I couldn't comunicate much with Abi, but when she saw the images in my laptop, she had a huge smile in her face and tears falling down her cheeks. She hugged me many times and thanked me more than once. I feel like I made new friends instead of customers. I love them!

God Bless you and stay tune!

Sandra

Happy Thanksgiving

2010-11-25T00:01:00.001-05:00

Wishing you all a very safe and blessed Thanksgiving! From my family to yours...

{Kaiser} = Bad Boy

2010-11-17T19:47:00.006-05:00

As much as I enjoy taking pictures of my kids, it's alway a challenge. They just don't let me do it! I have to trick them constantly even to get a shot off. This time was no different than the rest. When my son, Kaiser, was playing, I just couldn't let him get away without a shot! He gave in after I dangled the carrot in front of his face....candy!!! During the shoot, he said, "Mom, I'm a bad boy!" I agreed with him wholeheartedly - and these pictures are the result...
I hope you enjoy the images.

{Sheena + Georges} Epic Couple

2010-10-17T11:47:00.018-04:00

I met this couple a day prior to their Wedding during a meeting MiamiWeddingPlanner.com had arranged. As soon as I saw Sheena, Georges and their family, I knew that I would be shooting forever. Everybody in this wedding was "GORGEOUS!"

I couldn't take my eyes off of Georges while Sheena was walking down the isle. He was just mesmerized, staring at his bride with an incredible admiration and love. They are simply adorable together.

I will not wrap up without mentioning that this family took great care of their vendors. Few people today appreciate those that are in the background, providing the services that make the wedding event possible. I will never forget that when it was time for me to eat, I proceeded to the kitchen and away from the party as I normally do...Well, when this happened, the mother of the groom went looking for me, dragged me out of the kitchen, and made me sit at her table. I felt like if I was part of their family. I truly love each and every one of them.

This was for sure one of the coolest wedding parties I have ever photographed. God Bless you guys! I know you enjoyed your pics...(I'm late blogging as usual).

{Carlos} = My Handsome Brother

2010-09-21T19:49:00.000-04:00

Here are some images of my super cool brother. I just love him and love to catch his incredible personality with my lens.

{Liadys + Rayman} = Baby boy

2010-09-05T11:13:00.000-04:00

These two were just amazing together. Liadys started out very shy, but by the end of the photo session she was a very confident model. They are both very cute, so I must say that my job was made easy. Liadys and Ray, thank you for allowing me to capture your special moment with my lense.

{MAYDEL + EDDY} = BABY VANESSA

2010-08-29T20:43:00.000-04:00

I always enjoy doing maternity sessions. Knowing that I'm providing a memory that will be treasured forever gives me a special joy. The last time I saw Maydel, she was a kid herself. Seeing her now as a grown up made feel not old but "experienced" LOL. I enjoyed taking pictures of her and her beautiful family regadless of the weather (it was raining.) I hope you enjoy these images too. You looked as gorgeous as always! God Bless you and congrats on the new member of your family.

{Marta & Giuseppe} = Italian Wedding in "South Beach"

2010-08-12T22:38:00.001-04:00

Every moment is a special one and even more if you share it with the person you love the most. I was given the opportunity to capture the love this couple share thru my lens. Marta and Giuseppe came all the way from " Italy" with their mind set to give their love a new beginning, A new together forever beginning under the sunny sky of South Beach. Their energy and love was just incredible!

Oh...and Marta, Gosh, she is a pro dancing Salsa! Her moves and style are just amazing. Their first dance was under the sunshine with "los van van" cortesia de Miami Wedding Planner. This wedding was planned by Betty (http://www.miamiweddingplanner.com/) who did an incredible job.
Enough..here I'm leaving you to enjoy the images of my first "Italian customers." I love Italians, don't ask me why. I guess its the country, the language...don't know. Maybe because my father always loved them too.

{4th of July} = Fireworks

2010-08-01T13:27:00.001-04:00

{KAISER + ATTITUDE} = FRENCH CHEF

2010-07-31T00:31:00.000-04:00

I had these pictures for quite sometime now and today I came across them again, so I said "it is time to post them!" This handsome boy is my son, Kaiser. He is 3 years old. He is just lovely. I can't never photograph him. It is tooooo difficult. But, I love how his attitude is reflected in these images. I hope you enjoy them. I just love them!!

{Lucas Adrian} = Bundle of Joy

2010-07-18T21:47:00.000-04:00

I'm making an attempt to catch up with my posting, but I'm still behind. This coming week I will try to post at least two new sessions.
This on is about Lucas Adrian. He is a gorgeous baby boy! I was blessed to meet him and his parents. They were great. Thank you Ximena and Carlos for giving me the opportunity to photograph your bundle of joy!

{Llinet + Bruno} = Engagement Session

2010-07-05T21:42:00.000-04:00

Talking about getting old... This session is about my little cousin (not so little anymore) Yes, she is getting married!! and I will be documenting with my photography her event. My sister (www.miamiweddingplanner.com) is the wedding planner! She has it all, what a lucky girl. LOL!
I hope you enjoy this images.

{Helena + Dennis} = Wedding

2010-05-23T21:30:00.010-04:00

Helena and Dennis were the perfect foreign couple to photograph. Helena is majestically beautiful, like a princess in a fairy tale book. Dennis was a bit shy, but very sweet – a perfect complement to the Swedish princess. It was a real privilege to capture the magic of their special wedding day. They were not only my customers, they became my friends by the end of the shoot. I really enjoyed taking their wedding pictures. Thank you Helena and Dennis! It was really a pleasure to meet you guys!!!!

Bouquet provided by Betty from Miami Wedding Planner (www.miamiweddingplanner.com)

{Joey + Caroline} = LOVE

2010-04-15T00:44:00.001-04:00

Today I will post some photos from Joey and Caroline's engagement session. Caroline and Joey were simply "AWESOME." It was really a pleasure to meet them. Joey is very romantic...(I'm sure Caroline agrees with me) Caroline is a very sweet and beautiful lady. We had so much fun! Caroline and Joey, thank you once again...! Enjoy the photos...

{Arianna + Dubi}= Wedding part two

2010-03-28T23:34:00.003-04:00

...As promised, a bit late but, finally more portraits of Gorgeous Arianna and Dubi's Wedding. Enjoy!

{Nature + Beauty} = Vickie!

2010-03-14T20:58:00.059-04:00

Photographing Vickie gave me the opportunity to explore that inner child I had inside. She wanted me to capture with my lens a casual, nature-loving look. My mind went wild and to be honest, I was a bit scared. She knew what she wanted and wanted nothing less but what she had in mind. I let my imagination run free and with her help, we got the incredible images you are about to see. The lighting and sun flare was just amazing. Vickie is a little girl wrapped in a woman's body; playful, sweet, kind and full of creativity. That inner child that we all have inside was let loose to play, climb trees...and I was honored to capture that with my camera. As you look at these portraits, I invite you to also find that inner child you have inside. Take the time to smell the flowers, play, love, laugh and be joyful. Stop, look around you and enjoy the beautiful place God gave us called "Earth."

{Vanessa + Belly} = Baby!

2010-02-28T02:13:00.003-05:00

I am really making an effort to keep my blog up to date. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever catch up! All I can is that I'm blessed to start this new year with so much work. Well, enough of my busy life....

This post is about Vanessa. Vanessa has been one of the most sexy pregnant women I have ever met. The day started ugly; not enough light and to top it off, it started to rain. But, this gorgeous preggo did not loose faith and ready she was to start the photo shoot. They ugly day turned to an amazing one, giving me a chance to capture some of the images that you will soon see. Vanessa was a bit shy at the beggining...but soon after, the supermodel hiding inside made her cameo appearance! She was very sweet and easy to work with. Thank you Vanessa and Ohilda for the opportunity! It was really my pleasure!

{me + hectic life} = blessings...

2010-02-11T00:17:00.000-05:00

I just want to thank all you beautiful ladies that were part of the Boudoir Marathon Session. I don't want to spoil the surprise you have for your loved ones. Therefore, I will wait until Valentines Day is over to post about it. I have about 9 new posts to write...and a few incomplete ones to finish blogging about. You will see them soon. What can I say; I'm blessed!

{Dee + 40} = Sexier than ever

2010-01-03T22:08:00.001-05:00

Happy New Year to all of you! Work, work, work and very little time to blog. Sorry! I still have to complete Arianna's and Dubi's post and Miss Juice Couture. I will add some more pictures, I promise.

Well, this post is not about my lack of time, but about Mrs. Dee. What can I say? When photographing my friends I always think of the Bible verse...the prophet is never famous in their own town (I'm paraphrasing of course) Well, this lady wanted to take pictures for a while now, but somehow was never able to make it. This time, she made it "late" giving me very little time to shoot, but I'm happy that we were able to get some nice shots. Now,she got the taste of it and of course she wants more pictures. Here I leave you with some to enjoy and of course will post more later. Enjoy! Dee, I love you and I'm glad you feel like a model now! I know next time you will make it easier on me.

Merry Christmas

2009-12-25T21:49:00.001-05:00

Jesus is the reason for the Season! Don't get caught up spending, slow down and enjoy your family and friends. I wish you all a very "Merry Christmas" may the Lord continue to bless your life.
I will stop writting now to let you enjoy some portraits of my daughter. Chocolate did the trick!

This past Sunday I had the privilege of photographing a mommy and daddy to be. Janie and Duniel shared their love not only to make a miracle but to make my job easy. It was a pleasure photographing them and I just cannot wait till I have the chance to photograph their new baby girl. Thank you Jojo! It was really nice to see you, to meet your mom and the parents to be.

Carlos + Jennifer = Family

2009-10-03T22:40:00.004-04:00

{Jeanette & Alex} = Wedding

2009-09-19T20:04:00.015-04:00

SOMARIS FIFTEENS

2009-09-04T14:46:00.046-04:00

Somaris fifteen's photo shoot was lots of fun. She was kind of shy at the begining, but soon enough her confidence started to build up and boy, oh boy...soon after she turned into a model. She posed like a pro!
I had an awesome time. Now, enjoy!

Nancy + JC

2009-08-13T17:01:00.006-04:00

Nancy is one of the most beautiful brides I have ever seen and the coolest too. The weather was pretty bad during the morning and early afternoon during their shoot, and can you believe that this lady did not lose her cool? This wedding was an excellent experience! Enough with blah, blah...time for more pictures. Enjoy, my friends!

Nancy and JC decided to see each other prior to the ceremony. Here are some shots of that big moment.Nancy on her way...

JC waiting for the big moment..

love, love, love

...more of Kharla!

2009-08-04T23:14:00.003-04:00

...this gorgeous princess is my God daughter "GIA Alessandra"
and this little doll..Kiani! las chinitas mas linda del mundo!!

this girl is sexy even when pregnant!

{Kharla + Family} celebrating baby "Kai"

2009-08-04T21:00:00.008-04:00

As promised (even though a bit late!), I've posted some pictures of Kharla and her family below. What can I say about Kharla? Well, she is one of my best friends! The one that listens to me no matter what I have to say. She never gets mad at me (as far as I'm concerned), and always has a smile ready for me. But this is not about Kharla and me; it is about her beautiful family. After having two girls back to back, she decided to have a third baby. She is blessed enough to carry now baby boy "Kai" in her womb. Can't wait to meet him, and stare at his gorgeous Chinese eyes. I'm already in love!!

Kharla + Kai

2009-07-27T23:59:00.002-04:00

I'm a bit behind with my post, but here is a preview of Kharla's session! I will have more pictures available by the end of this week...it's a promise!

Nilsa + Richard!

2009-07-12T23:40:00.013-04:00

Richard + Nilsa!! more pics posted as promised...check below!

When you have to photograph people that are very special to you, it becomes somewhat stressful. They love you, so everything you do is ok! We did this session in a rush, but I think it came out ok despite the horrible lighting in this place. I hope my "BFFFFFFF" enjoys them!

My kids "Kaiser and Sophia"

2009-06-14T21:12:00.007-04:00

As most of you know, I got two little ones of my own. They are one of the main reasons why I love photography. Building memories that last a lifetime is just priceless. However, they are almost impossible to photograph. No matter how much I try, no matter how many treates I offer them, they are just impossible! - So, I will just keep on trying until I nail this task. I hope you enjoy these pictures...

It all starts with a look, then a kiss, then a hugg...then, so much love will lead to a fight.
She was tired!

... So much love for his Dyno. I'm sure they want to run away from him! He is watching TV and playing at the same time "very talented"

Jennifer - More of my Beautiful Niece!

2009-05-26T23:20:00.007-04:00

Tomorrow Jenny will turn 19 years old, I can't believe it!!! It was just yesterday when she was my little baby. I'm very proud of her not just 'cause she's beautiful but because she got a "brain" It's hard to find teens with brains. Therefore, I'm so glad she got one. LOL! She's studying to be a plastic surgeon (with a full scholarship) I'm so lucky! Once she graduates, I'll be the one looking like a teen!! je,je,je. Here are some pictures from the photo session I did last week with my friend Rick Fernandez. Enjoy them. JEN, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR. I promise to post some more pictures.

Jennifer

2009-05-25T12:22:00.007-04:00

The other day my niece and I went to the park for an afternoon of experimental photography. We had so much fun we just might do it again soon. Here's one of the images my friend Rick shot of me while I was shooting Jenny.
I thinking of changing my business name...what do you think?

The Happy Family

2009-05-24T19:08:00.005-04:00

Here is one more post from the Mother's Day event. Sorry for not updating my blog faster, but between work and kids it's difficult to make time to blog. Here is the Orellana Family. I had a great time with them. The kids are just adorable, enjoy!

Mother's Day Event Helper!!!

2009-05-19T20:56:00.005-04:00

I am not done posting pictures of the Mother's day Event yet. I still have other pictures to share with you, but before I continue to do so, I want to thank my "helper" who did an awesome job! She wound up with blisters on her feet, but very happy! She's my niece, "Jenny," who's learning photography to earn some extra $$$ to pay for her college books. She did about everything I asked her to do with a huge smile on her face!!

Tata, thank you so much. You were a great assistant and most of all, an awesome "companion."

I love you very much!!

The Incredible Jenney!

2009-05-14T23:59:00.008-04:00

It was a real pleasure seeing my friend Jenney again. The last time I saw her was almost 20 years ago, so imagine not only how nice this reunion was, but also how great it was for me to take pictures of her family. It was a short session, but I surely enjoyed it. Thank you Jenney for supporting the "Cojimar Family." I hope you enjoy this post!

The lovely Diaz-Farinas Family!

As you all know, these last two weekends have been crazy with our Mother's day Marathon sessions! One of the sessions was of my friend Yenny and her family; I was very honored to photograph them. Just to give you an idea of how special they are to me, they were the ones responsible for introducing me to my lovely husband. So, as you can imagine, I can go on and on about our nice experiences together, but it's not about us right now... it's about them.

The time I spent photographing them helped me realize that their children, Liam and Ciara, are just as lovely as their parents! Well, for now, I'll let you enjoy some of their pics. Yenny and Eddy, thank you so much for the experience and I hope you like the pictures just as much as I did!

Giselle and Danny!

I had a great time taking pictures of Giselle and Danny. Danny's complexion reminds me of Snow White's, but in a masculine kind of way of course! He has the cutest fair skin, darkest hair ever, and freckles to die for! But judging by his gorgeous mom, what else can we expect from the boy! He's got mamma's looks for sure. Giselle, I know you will enjoy these pictures..

Matthew is back!!

2009-03-30T23:18:00.009-04:00

Matthew is back!! What a pleasure it was to see Matthew again. Marisel and Alex have given me the opportunity to capture Matthew's Milestones on film...starting with his beautiful mom during pregnancy, then as a newborn and now at 3 months. Boy, oh boy, it's incredible how fast these kids grow. He continues to be as cute as a button. For now, I will let you enjoy my cute bunny!!!!!

The cutest Easter bunny on earth!

2009-03-16T23:29:00.014-04:00

This weekend was pretty busy with my Easter Marathon event. I also had the chance to go to a photo session on Sunday with my mentor, "Rick Fernandez;" so...imagine, kids, kids and finally some adults.

Well, this session is really about Meagan. Meagan is the cutest baby on earth. She's simply adorable. She looks like one of those porcelain babies that you want to keep and take care of forever and ever. Mayte and Ramses, thank you for giving me the opportunity to photograph Meagan. She belongs on the cover of a magazine!! I hope you're enjoying the pictures as much as I am.

Many of you have been waiting for this post. Well, wait no more...
What can I say about this gorgeous lady?...She's not only beautiful, but smart and funny! She is a model in the making. Ibe, it was really fun to do this shooting. I wish you the best of luck in the world. You got the talent and, now, the photographer too!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Yesterday, I woke up very enthusiastic and excited about what the day had in store for me. I even had a good workout where I was able to gain even more energy for the day!!! I was now ready for a fun photo shoot with a "Quinceañera" !! I was certain that this photo shoot would take me back in time to remember how I felt at 15. This lovely quinceañera was no different; she was fun, inocent, lovely and so kind. Now that Fanny is turning 15 and this is such an important moment in her life, I wanted to ensure her that these pictures would capture every one of those moments. I hope that in the years to come, she can look back and remember them with joy. She arrived at the location with a lovely quinceañera dress, but then I realized that something was different about her. She said she wanted to feel free to move around in her dress, so she kept her jeans under her dress the entire time!! No wonder she didn't have a problem getting up or climbing anything!!!! Well, I really enjoyed the time we shared and I truly hope that you enjoy these pictures as much as I enyoyed taking them.

Mathew arrived !!!

2009-01-15T23:28:00.012-05:00

Many of you enjoyed Alex and Marisel's pregnancy pictures. Well, no need to wait any longer... Matthew is finally here!! To no surprise, he is a gorgeous little boy! He gave me a bit of a struggle, but somehow some way, I managed to take some nice shots. While I held him in my arms, I kept getting flashbacks of my little Kaiser. Being a mom is such a great feeling. I'm sure that any mom's out there reading this blog, would agree with me. Marisel and Alex, thank you once again! I really, really enjoyed meeting Matthew and taking pictures of him. I hope you love the pictures!

Esteban and Amy

2009-01-06T21:05:00.007-05:00

I met Esteban through a friend in common, "Nilsa." I must tell you that ever since I met him, I have been fascinated by his personality. He's funny, thoughtful and just lovely. Amy, his fiance, is just as cool, but with a sweet yet innocent approach. They are totally in love and I just enjoy the way they look at each other. They are amazing together; made for each other!

The day of the shooting, Esteban and Amalia (Amy) were late. Nilsa tricked them by telling them that I was very upset and ready to cancel...I couldn't stop laughing. Soon after they arrived, we totally forgot that they were late just because they made us laugh constantly. Oh...and the excuse for being late..."Starbucks coffee." It worked for me.

I totally enjoyed this shooting and I'm glad Amy and Esteban gave me this opportunity. Here are some pictures, I will post more tomorrow.

Merry Christmas!

2008-12-25T15:44:00.005-05:00

Merry Christmas to all of you! I hope you are having a great time with your family and friends. Enjoy spending time with your love ones unwrapping gifts, but don't forget that "Jesus is the reason for the season."

Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with. And remember time waits for no one.Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why its called the present.

"But the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.'" Luke 2:10-11.

Fun at the Metrozoo

2008-12-23T17:47:00.021-05:00

Monday, I went to Metrozoo with my kids and nieces. We had lots of fun walking around. The animals were too tired to greet us, but I must say that we felt priviledged, since for the first time in 17 years, the white Bengal Tiger put on a show for us. Kaiser and Sophia were glad that Daddy stayed home working. They were able to eat candies with artificial coloring (mom got punished for that).

I feel like a very talented person. I can do almost anything I put mind to; except maybe cutting hair; check out my boy Kaiser's new shaved 'do - el pobre! At least it's a step up from the time I almost gave my husband a free Van Gogh!

Ms. Harley-Davidson

2008-12-17T23:24:00.012-05:00

Like the Bible says, "A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown (Mark 6:4, NLT)." Well; this gorgeous lady did not trust my skills, but after seeing the first picture she wanted more, more, and more...Now all she does is ask, "When am I going to have my pictures? I want my pictures!" - but, I'm making her suffer. J.K. Raque has an echanting personality and her eyes are just gorgeous; not to mention the incredible Harley she owns with her husband... Enjoy!!

David and Alejandro

2008-12-11T20:12:00.020-05:00

I know I'm a bit behind updating my blog, but with two "Little Monsters" of my own, time seems to run out even before it begins...

This post is about David and Alejandro. David is one of the coolest kids I've ever met; his personality is just amazing. Alejandro is his little brother and he is just simply adorable! I really had an awesome time taking pictures of them. I'll stop now to let you enjoy the pictures and remember that comments are welcomed; they help me get better at what I do.

Isa and Pao - The Miracle Twins

2008-11-28T11:18:00.014-05:00

To photograph these beautiful twins was a divine experience. They were born prematurely and spent a long period of time at the hospital. So, seeing them now as they run and have a great time is a reminder that God still perfoms miracles... even today. Yami, thank you for giving me the opportunity to photograph your Princesses.

Marisel and Alex - Pregnancy Pictures

2008-11-23T12:26:00.014-05:00

Today, I decided to start blogging like the rest of the world. I'm not very good at it yet, but I will try my best (where is my sister when I need her the most?).

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing Marisel and Alex. They are a gorgeous couple and are expecting their first baby! I feel honored that they chose me as their photographer; not only because they are my friends, but because I'm being allowed to become a part of their most cherished memories!! Mama and Alex, God bless you guys! I'll be at the hospital too.
