Father's Day Week! 25 Personalized Father’s Day Gifts

Father’s Day is this weekend! It’s a day that we get to celebrate all of the great things that dad does for us every single day. Thankfully I found some really great personalized gifts for Father’s Day and have that part taken care of. The only thing left on my agenda is finding the perfect Father’s Day activity for Sunday, here are some options:

1. Go to a Baseball Game
2. Make it a Movie Night
3. Play on the Playground with Daddy
4. Splash in the Pool, it's summer! outdoor fun activites are perfect.
5. Ice Cream Social - Dad picks the flavors.
6. Lunch Date - Dad picks his favorite place to eat.
7. Take a walk with Dad
8. Let Dad go grocery shopping with the little ones (be ready for getting tons of stuff you really don't need)
9. Houston on the Cheap, tons of affordable some times free activities.
10. Cuddle and Nap time with Dad - Because what could be better than cuddling up with a little one for nap time?

Family Fun!

This family I hold dear to my heart, I got to photograph baby Liberty when she was only one week old. Today they came back for a family session, she's is 6 weeks old but she has grown so much already!
Big brother Ace was not in the mood to be photographed but with mom and dad's help we got some stinky cute photos!

Mini Session: Sheyla, Nina & baby Sophia

Sheyla is another friend I have met a while ago but we had never done a photo shoot together, this month she contacted me about a mini session, the idea was to use the images to make a nice Father's day surprise for daddy! yay! She came along with a friend, Leidimar, kids had a blast playing in my studio while they wait for their turn. They watched TV, had some ice-pops and played with my daughter Sophia and her 'one thousand toys around the house'.

Mini Sessions are so much fun! it's quick, perfect for the kids so they don't have to get tired, in-out-done!
Contact me today if you would like to schedule yours.

Mini Session: 15 minutes duration, $45, in Studio.

Newborn Photography - What is the ideal age to photograph a newborn?

What is the ideal age to photograph a newborn?

If you've considered a newborn photography session, you may have noticed how most photographers advise that the shoot should take place as early after birth as possible. "I conduct all newborn sessions during the baby's first seven days of life,". "The reason we encourage parents to photograph their newborn during his/her first week of life is primarily due to their sleepiness. Once they get older - even at four weeks of age - they are much more alert, stay awake for longer amounts of time and become more restless and less manageable. But since we really want to capture them all curled up and sleepy, we must photograph them as soon as possible after birth,"!

Thank you little Miss Abby for being such an angel!

Gabi and Guigui, you guys did a great job! Thank you for the fun and laughs!

Maria Carolina & Leo. He's 2 and he can shoot!

Today Maria Carolina came with her son Leo to my Studio for a Mother's day mini session. Leo is 2 years old and 8 months. He was a bit shy in the beginning but towards the end of their session I invited him to help me to photograph his mom. He didn't think twice! and he did it; he held the camera firmly and pressed the shutter!

He took a picture of his mom and proudly showed it to me when looking at the screen in the back of my camera. I know ... it's not in focus, it's not straight, but it was done by him, a picture of his mom! What a great mother's day gift that is. I loved it, and I had to proudly share it in my blog. 

Francine & Malu <3

Mom & daughter's love. We're already celebrating mother's day at the Studio!

Spring Flower

It has been a blast to photograph baby Nicole. She's 10 months old and she's getting ready for her first international trip to Brazil, her mom's home country (and mine too!).

Just love her smiles & giggles. Cute spring flower!

Pet Photography

Last week I was contacted by Beverly Smith, the owner of Make a Tail Wag pet boutique, asking me if I could make her some dog hair bows. If you know me well you would not be surprised at all with this offer. And yeah, I loved the challenge! Not only did we make them, we bathed/groomed our furry boy, and photographed him! Hey, I'm a stay home mom - we can do it all by the grace of God!

It was a quick and fun project! If you have an idea in mind, and would like to see it in a photo, let's chat about it. I'll be glad to take the challenge and I'll be honest about being able to execute it or not.

Here is one of the 10 images we created for Make a Tail Wag pet boutique
