miami & lakeland on film

To God be the glory!!!

To a little mini vaca to Miami to hang out with family, friends and soak up a little sun. I truly love city life. Only took my film camera with this time. Still not 100% confident in it and actually didn’t end up using it as much as I thought I would. Hoping to grow more confident with it so it just becomes second nature.

Stayed with my wonderful Aunt & Uncle. The view from their backyard.

Every afternoon it was like the return of El Niño. Their saying, “Don’t like the weather? Just give it an hour.”

I love that you can actually see the falling raindrops! My Uncle owns a salt water tank full of colorful fish and coral. Dory is my favorite of course 🙂My boyfriend and I took a boat out around Biscayne Bay one morning & enjoyed lunch on a little island. They have an incredible art district full of walls covered in commissioned graffiti. Right after Miami, it was off to Lakeland for a Quinceañera session. After the session finished Albert suggested we take advantage of the garden. He sure knows how to make my photographer heart happy!I felt a little silly taking some of these photos, but it was good to experience what couples feel being in front of the camera. I discovered that poses that I simply adore using during sessions, I ended up disliking when getting the photos back. Hoping to take that into account so I can better serve the couple’s likes & dislikes.
