Can you describe this image in 3 words?

I’ll start first. Radiance, serenity, Presence.

One thing for sure. I need more sunsets in my life to remind me that we have to stop to see the beauty in front of us, we have to pause, to rest, to admire, to dream. The sun goes down and perspectives changes.

We are in a constant carrier, it is like a running marathon, it is exhausting. 💃🏻

I made commitment to slow down. I invite you to do the same thing. 🙌

We love summer weather right? It is gorgeous but it is so unpredictable.

This week we were 1 day in 38 degrees and the other day in 13 🥴. We wear sandals and tank tops one day, the other day pants and sweaters and a raining jacket. That’s is crazy right?

If you’re planning a family photo shoot, and would like to have it outdoors one of the questions you may well have is “what do we do if it rains?”

After all the energy you’ve put into choosing a photographer, choosing a location and planning everyone’s outfits; the last thing you might not want to happen is to get caught in the rain in the middle of your shoot.

How do I work in this situation?

- I monitor the weather very closely and I make the call same day 3:00pm. I invite my clients that monitor the weather too.

- When we book an outdoor session, I make sure we have a couple of days as an alternative (rain dates) in case we have to reschedule.

- I work closely with my clients to have an alternative location so we can change it the day of the photoshoot. E.g At clients homes.

- If there are a few drops of rain, we might wait a bit and go ahead with the session. I know we love the sun, but an overcast sky provides a fantastic light for pictures.

- If is very humid, I suggest bringing tissue paper, water so you can fresh up a bit between the session.

- Ultimately, if you want me to capture your family or kids dancing under the rain go for it. Let’s have fun.

Whatever my clients decide, we’ll work together and make sure that the solution is something they feel happy with.

Today is Canada Day every year we celebrate it wit

Today is Canada Day every year we celebrate it with joy because we are grateful that Canada is home for us. We chose this country to start a new life filled with new adventures and opportunity and is a land were our children will thrive.

It is with sadness and disappointment to see and realize the darkness that has been hidden about our indigenous children. As an immigrant we need to honor this land and it people and shamefully honor is not in the picture.

My commitment is to learn more about Canada’s truly roots and share them with my children and make my contribution to raise children that honestly honor the roots and the people.

My prayers are for the victims of the educational system and for their parents.

“But be on guard and watch yourselves closely so that you don’t forget the things your eyes saw and so they never leave your mind as long as you live. Teach them to your children and your grandchildren.”

How many times had you say this?

It’s ok, next time, i need to loose some pounds, do my nails, do my hair and then I will be in the pictures with my family… Also I had heard I’m not photogenic.

Ladies, your children don’t care about this, in a few years they will tell you: Mommy why aren’t you in any of the family pictures?

Remember you are beautiful, you deserve to keep great memories

When was the last time you book a session?

But first coffee! ☕️

A good day starts with a positive attitude 😃, a powerful prayer 🙏🏻 and a great cup of coffee.

Who agrees? 🙋🏻‍♀️

I’m half Cuban and half Venezuelan and coffee is part of our culture, our daily routine. I remember when I was little I never left home to school without a big mug of coffee (more milk on it of course) with a lot of foam and chocolate sprinkles, I always got up with that smell and I was always excited to drink that coffee that my mom made with great love ❤️.

This became such of a routine that i still need my morning coffee to start my day… (now more coffee than milk) ☕️

How do you start your day?

Why are testimonials so important?

When I receive a written testimonial my heart is filled with joy and gratitude. It means the world to me to know how my clients feel after they have experienced my services and receive their pictures.

Reasons to consider why testimonials are very important:

🤗Testimonials work as referrals to people that are seeking for the same product or service.

👍An excellent way to show the benefits of my products or services, how I work or what clients can expect from me.

❤️Testimonials also create an emotional connection other people can relate to.

🙌They help to build trust.

If you want to make my day ❤️ and you haven’t sent me your testimonial yet, please go ahead, I will be happy to share it.

What is a Dad?

A dad is someone that wants to catch you before you fall but instead picks you up, brushes you off, and lets you try again.

A Dad is someone who wants to keep you from making mistakes but Instead lets you find your own way, even though his heart breaks in silence when you get hurt.

A Dad is someone who holds you when you cry, scolds you when you break the rules, shines with pride when you succeed and has faith in you even if you fail. ❤️

A read this a few days ago from an unknown author and this reminds me of my dad when I grew up❤️ thank you Dad!

Happy father’s day weekend to all dads.

⁠
This type of session aims to capture the everyday moments beautifully, it's capture in your home, with your own surroundings and your own memories. ⁠
⁠
These sessions are great for families with newborns, small children and even your pet. As a mom, I know the first 2 weeks after the baby arrives are challenging. You can still capture this special moment in the comfort of your house.⁠
⁠
I love capturing tiny details, the new nursery room, family sharing special activities, families in their living room, bedroom, where they will create unforgettable memories. ⁠
⁠
I can't wait to capture these sessions soon.

⁠
I don’t just do this for the love of photography. I do this for the love of people. Being able to be an integral part of happy moments in their (your) life is a privilege. God has given me an undeniable gift I intend to use it to do good around me. ⁠
⁠
Why I do it?⁠
⁠
• Because every image, every person, every smile, every emotion is different, tell a story or freeze a milestone in your family’s life⁠
⁠
• Because it challenges me every day to see further (Beyond superficial).⁠
⁠
• Because there are some moments that I don’t want to forget especially my kid’s life. ⁠
⁠
• It’s super fun. Most of the time 😁

5 tips to capture your kids at home I get it, w

5 tips to capture your kids at home

I get it, we can all feel sometimes like it’s harder to take photos when we are stuck at home, rather than in the great outdoors.

1.- Make it quick, make it fun, forget high expectations, make it natural.

When my kids see me with my camera or phone on my hand and I ask them for a picture they run and hide. Can you relate?

Capture them while your children are playing with their favourite toy, baking cupcakes, playing along with their siblings or pets, playing with water, riding their bikes or scooters around the neighbourhood or even while sleeping,
My favourite one, bathtime with loads of bubbles, so much fun.

2.-Simple Window Portrait.
For gorgeous portraits of your children all you need to do is find a large window with natural light coming in (NOT direct sunlight) and preferably with an uncluttered background. Your child’s face should be towards the light and you will be get soft creamy skin tones and catchlights in the eyes.

3.- Focus on their eyes.
If you place your child close to a window light source, tap the focus point on his/her eyes and press the bottom . You will get nice and crips catch light. Again lighting is the key.

4.- Connection
Another thing to watch out for when shooting indoors is CONNECTION.
Examples of this could be: siblings sharing a secret, or reading time with Grandma, or tickle time between father and son.
I always like to have what I want to capture in my head and try to set up a situation where I can create it. For example, setting up reading time with Grandma in the chair next to the nice large window or tell hubby to play with the kids.

5.- A playful approach
A kid will never be uncooperative as long as the portrait sessions looks like a fun game.

Don’t make them pose, make them play instead! Peek-a-boo is a perfect example of how to capture a smiling face with young kids effortlessly!

Grab your phone or camera and have fun. 😊

If you try one of this ideas send me a DM with the results. ***save this post for later***
