Yaremi Yoga Shoot

2009-05-01T23:53:00.008-04:00

Man, is Yaremi flexible! This shoot was to promote her as a yoga instructor. We found some great locations which gave the photos an extra dimension. I really loved the contrast between the cold and harsh architecture with her natural yoga positions (some looked really painful to me...lol). Yaremi, I wish you lots of success.

Giovanny and Gabriel

2009-04-05T23:52:00.004-04:00

Talli and her family

2008-07-01T16:55:00.001-04:00

Melissa was glowing the day we took her pictures. She can't wait to meet baby Sebastian!!! It was pretty funny when it came time to change outfits. Melissa was a trooper and managed changing inside the reflector's sleeve... Guess there is a first time for everything... now we have an unofficial mini changing room... HEHE. Thanks Melissa!

Linda and Jacob's Family Portraits

2008-06-06T10:41:00.001-04:00

Such a beautiful family. Emily and Alissa are such sweet girls. Alissa loved the lollipop her mom gave her so much we almost had to take every photo of her with it. It really did look like a delicious lollipop! And Emily has to be the fastest little runner with no shoes on! She had so much fun running towards the camera on command and we got such cute shots of her hair blowing with the wind! We had a great time at the park with them!

Catalina & Miguel

2008-05-26T23:56:00.003-04:00

I had such a good time shooting this wedding. Great couple. It was super hot, but the breeze by the shore made it nice. Everyone involved was full of emotion which made my job lots of fun. When I arrived, one of the guests saw me looking for Catalina and told me the wedding had been canceled as a joke, but I got him back! HEHE...

I'm still working on the rest and I'll post some more up soon, but here's a couple of teasers... Enjoy! and congratulations once again Catalina & Miguel!

Portraits of the Silva-Medina Family

2007-12-29T22:13:00.000-05:00

That's right people... This is winter in Miami... HEHE.
This was a fun shoot and little Adrian was just the life of the party. What a trip and everyone, and I mean everyone got at least a bit of sand in their ears and a belly full of some good "Churros" that day. I now definitely have to say that Manolo's "Churros" are D best in Miami. (Link to Manolo's)

(Adrian throwing sand at his loved ones... ;-), later I got some sand myself!)

Erika's Family Portraits

2007-12-09T12:01:00.000-05:00

Another beautiful day of winter in South Florida! This is truly the best time of the year in my opinion. Erika and all her cousins were great, even Delilah warmed up to the shoot after a few frames and a bit of bribing by "Tia Nancy"

Proud Grandma of Triplets...

2007-12-08T23:46:00.000-05:00

My sister Brenda had a chance to bring over my nephews, better known as "The Triplets" to my mom's house, so we figured it would be nice to do a small photo shoot for Christmas at grandma's house... Can you see the pride in her eyes? ;-)

(All 3 - Can you tell who's the grumpy one???)

Portraits of the Marines-Dopazo Family

2007-12-01T23:02:00.000-05:00

This shoot was on such a nice afternoon, I'd say it was the perfect day, not only because the weather was just awesome, but because Gabriel and Transit were such good boys. Once Gabriel got comfortable, he was just running around and being himself which made for some cool and natural shots. And Transit was such a good boy being obedient the whole time, he even behaved after seeing some ducks around (the leash helped a bit too... ;-) )

Collages.net "Website of the Week"
I am also happy to report that Collages.net selected this shoot to showcase as "Website of the Week" on Nov 17th! Check out the story HERE and check out the site HERE

Modeling Photo Shoot - Julie

2007-09-30T23:21:00.000-04:00

Oh man, Julie is such a fun girl, personality and brains! Really nice, and beautiful to boot. We had Rachel do her makeup and she rocked too as you can see here, plus she assisted with the lights and reflector so I was super happy... a real trooper I have to say. I also have to thank the Clinton Hotel in South Beach for letting us shoot anywhere we wanted. Here is a few...

Andrea and Joe eShoot

2007-09-19T17:42:00.000-04:00

Here's a little slideshow (a video inspired one, specially since Andrea is "in the field") for you guys to enjoy of this Sunday's shoot. I love the locations we shot at with Andrea and Joe! Although someone forgot to flip the switch on the bridge, the weather cooperated and we ended up with some very nice images. Take a look...

Our Angel... in a tutu :)

2007-09-01T21:58:00.000-04:00

I hope Leslie and I can one day celebrate our 50 years together as happily and in love as you two were in your celebration. I had a wonderful time seeing how loved you two are by your family. Hope you enjoy the photos that define all the details your daughters worked so hard to make this day so special for you guys.
Enjoy.

2007-08-26T01:58:00.000-04:00

It was an honor to donate my time to be able to document the ONE.org concert event to benefit the people in the devastating earthquake in Peru. Here are some photos of the the local bands that performed for the event they included Pepe Alva, Jorge Correa, and Fabian from the band FENEIVA. It was a GREAT concert and all for a great cause!!!

2007-07-19T23:43:00.001-04:00

We really had fun with you guys even though it was super hot!

Katia and Gaby Guillaume's Wedding

2007-06-09T12:23:00.000-04:00

This morning I received an email from Katia Guillaume that I wanted to share...

Byron and Leslie,
How are you guys doing? Gaby and I wanted to thank you for all your hard work on our wedding day. We really appreciated everything you both did to make sure we would get the best memories of our special day.
I wanted to let you know that we have not forgotten about the pictures from when Gaby and I were young. We will bring them to you guys as soon as we get a chance.

Thank you so much for everything,
Katia and Gaby

We are still processing the ton of images we shot at their wedding. They all look great and as always Katia and Gaby both were awesome to work with. Such great energy and love between them. I have to say that Katia was the calmest bride I have ever seen before, during and after the ceremony. Amazed both Leslie and I. As Katia's aunt put it, "It's because they love each other so much, nothing else matters". As soon as we can we will post a few shots up here.

Daylin's Bridal Shower

2007-05-20T11:50:00.000-04:00

Very nicely decorated. Lots of cool details, and everyone looked great specially Daylin.

As always, bridal showers are interesting to me. I always get lost in the crowd and become part of the setting. It's funny to get to see what all that estrogen concentrated in one place can create. The games are also just hilarious to me and the girls always have a good time with all of them. Here's a few...

The rock... (good job Mario!!!)

The bride to be...

A slideshow of the whole event for your enjoyment...

Aileen's Baby Shower

2007-05-17T15:50:00.000-04:00

Had a chance to take the photos of the baby shower for our friend Aileen. Everything was decorated really nicely at her mom's house and the weather was just incredible. Here's a few of that event.

This little girl was a trip!

Joanne's Bridal Shower

2007-04-14T11:41:00.000-04:00

This was a really cool place to photograph, next to the airport so you can see the planes taking off and landing across the street on the runways. The huge windows that faced the airport made everything look amazing through the lens. I really enjoyed it.

I looked down and I saw this. I thought... "This might look interesting as a B/W image"
Hmm... I think I was right... ;-)

And of course... they had the TP wedding dress competition! A classic I hear.

Diego Jinkus "Part Deux"

2007-03-16T22:38:00.001-04:00

Last night I went to see Diego Jinkus at his show at INK in South beach. Very talented guy, and I really liked the ska influence he has in some of his music. Check out some of the pictures from the event...

Katia and Gaby's Engagement Shoot

2007-03-15T11:42:00.000-04:00

We had sooo much fun shooting Katia and Gaby's engagement session. They agreed to do an early morning shoot with the sunset, so Leslie and I set off at 5am to pick up the bagels and coffee and to meet them at South Beach. What an honestly loving couple. We all enjoyed the aw-inspiring early morning views and now we look forward to shooting their wedding in June.

Waking up early definitely paid off!

Promotional Photo Shoot with Diego Jinkus

2007-03-15T11:23:00.001-04:00

I had an opportunity to work with Diego a couple of weekends ago. We did a promotional shoot in downtown Miami for his endorser's (Digitech and ESP). He's a very talented music artist and during his shoot we had a lot fun and also some very interesting conversation. Very, very cool guy and so easy to work with. His website is www.electronicmiel.com or you can check out his MySpace page at www.myspace.com/electronicmiel. Hopefully I'll get a chance to watch him perform at INC in South Beach tonight.
