Some stories are simply meant to be. Ever since she was a baby, The Little Mermaid has held a special place in Danielle’s heart. Her parents even chose her middle name, Arielis, as a tribute to the beloved Disney princess. So when it came time to celebrate her Sweet 16, there was no question—an Under the Sea theme was the perfect choice.

From the moment Danielle arrived at the studio, it was clear this would be a session full of enchantment and elegance. She wore a stunning iridescent teal and purple ball gown that shimmered like the ocean. Her look was completed with professionally styled makeup and delicate pearl accents on her eyes and in her hair—just the right touch of mermaid magic.

Danielle was a natural in front of the camera, carrying herself with grace and confidence that made every shot a dream to capture. We planned a mix of classic portraits and whimsical scenes that brought her vision to life, including digital composite backdrops of a sunset beach and serene ocean waters. The result? A gallery of images that feel like they were pulled straight from a fairytale.

Danielle’s Sweet 16 session was more than just a photoshoot—it was a celebration of who she is and what she’s always loved. I’m so honored to have captured this special chapter in her life.

Happy Sweet 16, Danielle! May your next chapter be just as magical.

There’s something incredibly special about watching a family’s journey unfold in front of the camera—and even more so when they return to the studio to document each milestone. Just a few months ago, this beautiful family visited us for their maternity session, and now they’re back to celebrate and capture the arrival of their newest love: baby Omar.

When Mom arrived at the studio, she was understandably tired—because let’s face it, those first few weeks with a newborn can be both magical and exhausting. We take pride in creating a calm, supportive space for moms to fully relax and enjoy the experience. As soon as she walked in, she was able to unwind while heading into makeup with our incredibly talented artist, Lanii Doa, who works her magic to help every mama feel confident and radiant for her shoot.

While Mom was in the glam chair, I got started with baby Omar’s solo portraits. He was an absolute dream—so sleepy and content, just 2 weeks old and already a pro in front of the camera!

As with all of our sessions, we planned everything with intention. I curated the entire color scheme for this shoot and provided the family with outfit inspiration, including links for big sister’s beautiful dress and Dad’s coordinating shirt. Mom wore a stunning embroidered gown from our client closet, handpicked specifically to complement the session’s soft, elegant tones.

The result? Pure magic. Every detail came together perfectly to create timeless, heartwarming images that reflect the love and connection this family shares. From big sister’s sweet smile to the way Mom and Dad cradled their new little one, these portraits are a celebration of a completed family and a moment they’ll cherish forever.

Thank you to this lovely family for trusting me once again to capture such a meaningful milestone. Welcome to the world, baby Omar—you are so loved.
