Elizabeth + Omar Engaged

Omar and Elizabeth were GREAT to work with at their engagement session last week! We typically shoot about an hour for e-sessions, however this couple wanted a taste of everything Miami has, so we started at the lovely Vizcaya Gardens and melted for an hour and a half (its a shame this garden closes at 4:30…too early!) and got some fabulous images there before heading to our 2nd stop….at Bayside marketplace where we got a few more downtown photographs. This was our “in-between” location that we chose to let time go by before we were heading to get some fantastic sunset shots with the miami skyline in the background. Omar was like the best guy ever for hanging in there for such a long shoot—almost 6 hours! The funny thing was that he took longer than Elizabeth before each location to change and get ready…whats up with that Omar! The evening was totally worth it as Omar and Elizabeth are going to be overwhelmed with so many great photographs to choose from! I can’t wait to photograph this couple’s wedding in 2 months! ~ Ryan

I get it from my momma… one can only hope!

Sooo… my mom was gracious enough to come down to our boudior marathon this past month and help me with the girls. So as a surprise I had Maria (Faceworks International) do her hair and make-up and we did some boudior shots of her! My mom and I are so close and I was so excited to do these shots of her for my dad. I believe in classy and elegant boudior (which usually means implied nudity and such) and my mom looked absolutely gorgeous! She looks like a 35 year old in a 50 year old’s body…. I can only hope that I get her genes!! It just goes to show you that you don’t have to be 22 to do this type of session, I can only imagine what my dad is going to say when he sees her images.

My dad is a Miami Dolphins fan, so of course we had to do a couple of these!
